LIEUT.. Chips FATHERS DREAM-A telegram
irom Kingston. N. T., December 81, says:-The
intelligence from the Arctic ship Jeanette, pub
lsshed this morning. was read with great utter
est by the people of this city,. Lieut. CharlesW.
Chipp, the executive officer. who was second in
command of the vessel, was born here and is
Wei known by most every one. His father.
Warren Chip, is all old resident of the place
and leading citizen. Times correspondent
found him eagerly reading the dispatches from
the ill-fated expedition to-day. He had never
given up his son as lost. and u yet hopeful that
boat No. 2wiil be found all right with his son
safe In it. Nothing has been heard from the
young officer since SeptembaE, 1879, and 1t Is
now over four years since he left home. Mr.
Chip recalls a strange dreaHwh occurred to
him in June last. 1t was that the Jeanette
was being crushed in the ice.i He is not quite
sure as to the precise date of the dream, but
says it was early In June, and at least very near
the time when the ship is reported to have been
destroyed. He says the whole affair seemed
perfectly vivid before his eyes at the time, and
he has thought much about it since.
