STARVATION On ST. LAWRENCE ISLAND.
[BY TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD


SAN Francisco. Oct z, 1879.
The schooner Pauline Collins arrived yester-
day ut this port from the Arctic Ocean. l had
an interesting interview this morning with her
navigator. Captain Tucker Sands. He was
first anxious to tell me that he had
news of the Swedish explorer, Nordensk jJld
making the northeast passage in the Vega. On
the 18th of July last the Pauline Collins was
lying at anchor off East Cape when the look
the morning, and all hands came up to get q
good look at her.
THE VEGAS TRIUMPHANT ADVANCE.
1t was the first day after Nordenskj6ld left hia
winter quarters and the Vega WAS in gala trim.
1t cannot be better described than in the Ian.
guage of the hardy seaman himself
"He came steaming along like a lord. The
Vega was afying all her colors, covering the
ship from the trucks to the decks, and firing
guns every five minutes 1t was very lively for
that latitude"
EXCHANGING sALUTEs.
AS she passed the Collins dipped her flag and
the Vega promptly returned the salutation BY
the aid Of glass the officers and crew, it was
distinctly seen, were evidently intensely pleased
ut seeing another vessel There were some
miles of ice intervening, or doubtless they
would have spoken.
REJOICING ON THE VEGA
On the 10Th or Goth Russian steamer joined
the Vega at st. Lawrence Bay, taking provis-
ions, coal, &C., to the triumphant explorer.
Another schooner reported to the Collins that
the officers and crews of the steamers chad
great time" and kept up the rejoicings with
vigor.
GOOD WEATHER FOR THE JRANNETrE.
The Collins had been as far north rs 6S
deg. 80 min. north latitude, and confirms
previous reports favorable to the Arctic steamer
Jeanette having fine weather, favoring winds
and abundance of time to reach Wrangel Land
before going into winter quarters.
STARVATION AND DEBAUCHERY.
Captain Sands reports frightfnl story from
St. Lawrence Island, in the Behring Sea. Almost
the entire population of the southeastern end
of the island has perished of starvation.
A party landed from the Collins and were
Mortified to find $50 corpses in field. The
living had carried the dead away from the
huts until ut length, overcome themselves,
they in turn died in the huts, and
SO remained. Everywhere the scene was fright
full One little girl the captain speaks of seeing
stiff in DEATH with her head resting ON her hand,
while the body leaned over the remains of .
whale
AN AWFUL TEMPERANCE LESSON.
Mr.. Sands attributes the starvation to rum.
Nearly every trader goes to the Arctic loaded
with it, and long as the liquor lasts
the natives will not go fishing. Then
it is too late, and starvation follows.
On the northwest end of the island about two
hundred natives still alive He says that
revenue steam cutters are of no use to stop this
traffic. The Graders" see the smoke and get
out Of the way get rid of their cOntraband
liquors before they can be reached A sailing
vessel of hundred tons, he says, could end
the traffic.
