San Francisco Chronicle.I
The publication of the article on the Arctic
ocean in the Chronicle of Sunday last has given
rise to good deal of speculative conversation
among the old sea dogs at present in port who
have braved the icy dangers Of the frozen zone.
While most of the whaling captains were
united in the opinion that an open Polar sea
was but a mythical theory at best. one gentle
man, whose experience has been such as to en-
tile his views to great weight, Is firmly con-
vlnced that it is an absolute reality. Capt.
Barker, who was In command of the whaIer
Japan when she was lost, in the fall of 1870,
told a Chronicle reporter that from his own
observation he was a believer in an open Polar
sea. C,pt. Barker is man of more than or
binary intelligence and evidently very close
observer. The Japan went ashore Just off East
Cape, while he was trying to beat out of
Behring strait, and he was obliged to winter
among the natives with his crew and was not
rescued until the return of the whaling feet
in 1871. He says that early in February the
current began to set very strongly to the north,
and took the ice from the shore far out to sea.
in a northerly direction. Soon after this,
while hunting on top OF the mountains along
the coast, he heard distinctly the voice of the
surf breaking far to the northward. In that
atmosphere noise of any kind can be heard a
long distance, and to nautical ear the sound
of breaking surf can never be misunderstood.
Capt. Barker says that the natives with whom
he remained during the winter have legend to
the effect that many years ago colony of their
| tribe went over to Wrangel Land and have
never returned. He has been close enough tc
the latter coast to see vegetation upon the
| mountain-side. And the natives claim that
| they used formerly to cut trees there. Capt
Barker has great faith that the Jeanette vii
solve the Polar problem. Capt. Lewis Will
