Paul Peters was at his fish camp on the Yukon River 10 miles downstream from Ruby when he saw a Bushman coming along the beach about 75 yards downstream. Description, quite tall and broad and covered with black hair, walking upright like a man. It turned and climbed a steep hill and disappeared in the brush.
