The Alaskan John Smith was not q
titled explorer when be fell into the
hands of the savages, nor was his name
John Smith, He was only a common,
yellow skinned sea cook. His name is
All Wing. and there is nothing attract

rate as could be found in a days walk.

SAVED BY JULIE
All Wing some nine years ago was a
cook in the employ of the navy depart
ment, and was shipped north on the
jamestown While on the Sitka station
Wings time expired or he deserted-just
which is not quite plain-and shipped
aboard n whaler. The whaler was
wrecked and Wing was cast upon an in
hospitable ice foe. Julie was the daugh-
ter Of a chief Of a tribe of Indians. and
while hunting with her father discov-
cred An Wing, who was as near dead
from starvation, cold and exposure as 1t
was possible for him to be and retain
life For days and days Julie nursed
him, and he finally recovered e find
himself the object Of a great deal of at
tention on the part of the Indians. They
could speak no Chinese or English, and
Wing had no comprehension OF their
dialect He was at n loss 10 understand
the solicitude with which they fed him.
and the interest they took in watching
the accumulation Of fat on his ribs. At
last the horrid truth dawned upon him
at least so he says. They were going

captured and returned TO the village and
put under guard. The fatal day arrived.
Wing was informed by pantomime that
IN incision would be made in his neck
and his life fluid allowed to escape into
a soapstone basin. He gave all up for

daughter aud could refuse her nothing.
He issued an edict against baking Wing.
The remainder of the village protested,
and the chief was obliged to state why
lie desired the strangers life preserved.
The DIRECTORS gave in, Inc Wing and
Julie were married in Indian style.
Wing lived with the tribe for some
time. but never became very popular.

to insure his return.
III THREE LANGUAGES.
They sailed away, and after much
marine wandering and transferring from
one vessel TO another, arrived in San
Francisco. Wing had a taste for the
needle and secured a job at tailoring.
The faithful Julie proved an-adept and
shares Wings lsbors. They still find
some difficulty in conversing. Wing
knows a few wotds of English and a few
Of Indian. Julie knows a few of En-
glish and a few Of Chinese.
When their discussion becomes mi
mated they resort to all three Languages
at once, and the talk is very exciting.
There is a little Wing now. and he is
learning all three languages.
Their home is on the top hoor of a,Ross
alley tenement, where Julie is rapidly
being converted into a Chinawoman by
her fellow dodgers. She is quiet at all
times. and is presumably mourning for
the freedom of her native snow fields.
She does not 60 out, because the noise
and the hustle OF the streets frightens
her. Wings leave of absence has long
since expired. but in the confines OF
civilization he has become the master,
and has no intention of returning to the
land Of his wife's people.
The story has been pretty well anthem
ticated, with the exception Of the inten-
ton Of the Indians to eat Wing after
killing him. His own countrymen do
not believe this part Of his story, but
Wing adheres TO it stoutly, and the
strongest tie between him and his wife
is his gratitude 70 her for saving him
from such a fate.
Voyagers to the far north state that
they nave heard Of cannibalism among
the Indians. but it has always been at
tributed to isolated instances OF starva-
tons necessity. and not habit-SGn
