the MISSING WnalERS,
Terrible Weather in the Arctic
Country.
FIVE HUNDRED PERSONS PERISH
FROM STARVATION.

NEW YoEk, July 81. San Francisco
despatch states that the L. s. cutter Corwin
was jammed in the ice several days about
June 18th in Behring Sea. but reached Mi
ehaelovski. June 10Th. The Corwin then
crossed TO ST. Lawrence islands. where she
found that the inhabitants had been in partial
starvation for two years. The first village
visited was entirely deserted. The second,
several miles distant. presented frightful
scene of desolation. There was not a living
creature 10 be seen. The dead lay unburied
on the hillsides and in their beds, just as they
expired.
Further westward, at the North Cape. a
similar spectacle was witnessed. At first il
was thought that there had been an epidemic.
but there is no doubt that there was nothing
hut sheer starvation. from which from 200 TO
500 persons had died. Happily whale was
caught and the lives of the remnant of the
settlement were saved.
\ number of whalers we're boarded in the
Arctic, June 30th. lat. 6s. Whaling barque
Pacific, of New Bedford, Knowles, master,
reports that they struck the ice April 20th
of Cape ST. Thaddeus: entered the Arctic
May 2lst; had taken 600 walrus; crossed
eastward IN Point Hope, westward to Cape
Serdge; heard nothing of the missing whalers
or of the Jeanette. The captain thinks that
the whalers are lost, and that possibly they
may have collided in a snow storm which oc-
CURED just after he saw them. He gives
their position as 100 miles westward of that
formerly reported. He thinks the Jeanette,
if not lost, may possibly be permanently
ice-bound, but the officers and crew NAV es-
cape, as they are well provided with clothing
and all the necessaries of life. He SAYS that
the season has been good for whalers, the
fleet having already taken Is whales. A num-
Der of vessels had lost their '.gripes,' and
the experimental steam whaler Helen and
Mary, and several others. had lost their cut
waters. The steam whaler, he thought was
not success.
He boarded barque Rainbow, July 3d. and
Helen MARI on the 4th Capt. Boulder was
the last to see the Mount Wollaston and the
Vigilant, October 10Th. north of Herald Island,
with open water northward. Neither being
provided with winter supplies. and not being
very seaworthy. he thinks they are lost and
so do all the whalemen with whom the Cor
win had conversed.
Il. Newman, agent of the Alaska Company
at st. Michaels. arrived with the Dora, Capt.
Hooper was to leave st. Michaels again for
the Arctic on the llth of July. going as far
north as possible and cruising in search of
the missing vessels. Though the winter was
very severe and the ice heavy, the whalers
thought that from the early descent of the
whales it would be very open season in the
Arctic, and the Corwin could go as far north
as it would be of any service to 90. Mr..
Newman thinks the Jeanette would reach
Wrangol before the winter sets in, and there
be safe, but he is not sanguine as tn the
safety of the whalers.
