CHICAGO, May 15th.-Further particulars
received from Pullman state that twelve men
were on the boat, and were half across the
lake when the fierce wind overturned the
boat. The stormy water prevented the res
cuing boats from reaching the twelve men,
who could be plainly seen clinging to their
upturned boat. The would.be rescuers, after
gallant attempt to save the drowning men,
and after having narrow escape from cap
sizing themselves. were compelled TO put INTO
shore, and the victims of the accident gradu-
ally loosesed their hold and sank beneath the
waves. So far as can be learned, all were
drowned
Following are the names of those on board:
Napoleon Buckin. aged so; his two sons,
Ben and James Bucklin John l.. Smith,
aged 90; Charles +. Pierce, aged 40 ; II. L.
Moore. aged So; w. o. Burns, aged y;
young man named Foster; a man named
Davis, 46 years old, and three other men
whose names could not be ascertained.
All the men worked at Pullman, and are
well known. Their sad fate creates much
excitement, and the lake shore is crowded
with anxious people awaiting the recovery OF
the bodies.
The bodies of Ben Bucklin and Smith have
been recovered. Boats are now dragging for
the others.
Bucklin leaves wife and FIVE daughters ;
Smith leaves wife and child; Oliver leaves
a wife Pierce and Moore were carpenters
from Blissfeld, Mich, and each leaves a
family there.
Bucklin was an old sea captain and well
known in the East, and thoroughly under
stood the handling of boat but why the
party should have ventured out on the lake
in the storm which was raging is mystery
to everyone.

clans with the famous letter. He is said to

ington, was induced to swear to o similar aft
davit which was forwarded to Barnum the
day before the election. Davenport has OBJ
tanned from w. II. Barnum the original afi-
davits of the fictitious Robert Lindsey in the

Another Aspirant for Arctic Honers.
NEW YORK, May 15th.-The Graphics
Washington special says: Master Lucien
Young of the navy, who desires TO go to the
Arctic regions under the provisions of the
Cslkins BILL says that his plan is entirely
feasible, and will incur NO special risk of loss
of life. He proposes TO keep near the shore.
He would make two depots for supplies in
case of retreat, one on the western coast of
Greenland, and another further north at Lady
Franklin Bay. He would then keep up the
Greenland coast until he struck the northern
limit Of navigation and stop there, with his
ship for the base of supplies. He would then
send cut parties on the land, and if the end
of the land was reached, he would on the ice
pack establish small depots. This would be
done during the fall and winter, so that the
next spring the party could make dash for
the Pole, following the line of the depots left
the fall previous to insure protection against
starvation, and enable them to travel unen-
numbered by stores. He has the opinion of
various Arctic travellers that his plan is the
most feasible devised 80 far for the successful
penetration of tina Polar regions. He expects
to find more moderate climate at the pole
than for some distance to the south of it.
