Revenue steamer Corwin, covering the
operations OF that vessel OIL her second
Northern cruise up TO the 24th ultimo., has
been received 1.-THE Treasury Department,
having been mailed from 0nnalaska. Lieut..
llculy says the natives OF St. Lawrence
Bay For tho benefit OF any who may be
cast upon the hospitality and kindly feeling
Of the natives along the northern shores |
would most earnestly recommend that
some token ofappreciation be offered them.
This will ensure an extension OF hospitality
and protection, which 10 castaways means
life itself.
With regard 10 Master Pittman lie says:
ave learned from the st. .uwrancc
islanders that OH sixty days after the depar.
turc OF the Rodgers crew the unfortunate
master, Pittmann, WAS found upon the Ice
between the north and south head. From
the story they tell, Il few days after. the de-
parturc an e,lst wind arose which, lresllcn.
ing into gale, caused the ice to iloat into
the bay and form pack, filling It's entire
extent. Upon the ice the natives hunted

OF sounding during the entire cruise in the
Arctic, and while We found that the lowest
