Was in the Chesapeake.shannon Fight.

The Irishman who said that barring
those who got killed, making war was
o mighty healthy occupation, could
cite some noted examples in support of
his opinion. The dispatches tell US
that Admiral Sir Provo Wallis has had
the grip and got over it, though he
lacks but three years of being CEN
tenarian. Sir Provo was one of the
lieutenants CT the Shannon in her fight
with the Chesapeake seventy-seven
years ago come next summer. In that
terrible old sea fight scores of brave
men perished and others survived only
to drag about shatteie ed body until
death came to their relief. The ships
were SO near together that the anchor
of one caught in the rigging of the
other, and the fight was finished hand
to hand on the Chesapeake's deck. In
all this fury Wallis took his part, and
has lived to this day connecting link
between the navy of Nelson's day and
that of 1890. What record of charges
% comprehcnded in those words! When
he entered the British navy there was
not a steamship afloat, the thirty-two
FOUNDER was considered heavy gun,
and only few ships carried them in
their batteries.
There were many frigstes in COM
mission in his youth that carried
twelve-pounders on their gun decks,
and there were even few pygmy
cruisers that mounted four-pounders.
The earl Of Dundonald commanded
little brig whose armament was SO
light that he could carry the weight of
all entire broadside in his conttail-
pockets. In those days 2000-ton ship
was considered leviathan, and
mounted all the way from 80 to7110
guns. There were even line-of-battle-
snips of 1900 tons and under. Prob
ably in the widest dreams Of Sir
Provo's youth, he never anticipated that
ships cased in iron, propelled by steam,
and mounting 100-ton guns, would In
his time assert the naval power of Eng
land. 1t would be interesting to know
Just how many of the participants in
the Chesapeake-Shannon fight are, like
Sir Provo, forgotten by death.

An UNKNOWN LAND.
A Section vi the united states Never
frodden by white Mon.

Washington has her great unknown
land like the Interior of Africa,
SAYS the Seattle Press. The country
shit in by the Olympic mountains,
which includes an area of about 2.6OO
miles square, has never, to the positive
knowledge Of old residents of the ter
ritory, been trodden by the foot OF
man, white or Indian. These moun-
tains rise from the level country within
ten to fifteen miles of the straits OF San
Juan de Fuca IN the north, the Pacific
ocean In the west, Hoods canal in the
east. and the basin of Quinault lake in
the south, and rising I'd the height OF
5000 to &, 600 feet, shut in vast unex-
plored area.
The Indians have never penetrated
1t, for their traditions say that it is
inhabited by very fierce tribe. which
none OF the coast tribes dared molest.
Though it is improbable, that such a
tribe could have existed III the noun
tain country without their presence be-
coming known to the white men, no
man has ever ascertained that it did
not exist. White men. too, have only
vague accounts of any white man hav-
ing ever passed through this country,
for investigation of all the claims OF
travellers has invariably proved that
they have only traversed its outer
edge.
The most generally accepted theory
In regard to this country is that 1t con.
sisted of great valleys stretching from
the inward slopes Of the mountains I'd
great central BASH, This theory is
supported by the fact that, although
the country around has abundant rain,
and clouds constantly hang oyer the
mountain tops all the streams flowing
toward the four points of the compass
are insignificant, and rise only on the
outward slope Of the range. none ap-
pearing to drain the great area shut in
by we Mountains. This fact appears
TO supnprt the theory that the streams
Sowing from the inner slopes of tho
mountains feed / great interior lake.
But what drains this lakep 1t must
have an outlet somewhere, and as all
streams pouring from the mountains
rise on their outward slope, it must
have subterranean outlet into the
ocean, the straits, or the sound. There
are great discoveries In store for some
Of Washington's explorers.
A gentleman named Drew, now re-
siding at Olympia, states that he has
climbed to the summit Of the eastern
range from Hoods canal, and looking
down could ses great valleys stretch-
ing toward the west A party of rail-
road prospectors claim to have pene-
trated the interior, but could give no
account of 1t. and appear only to
have skirted the outer slopes ten or
fifteen miles from Hoods canal. A
party Of United States soldiers are said
to have traversed the country from
Port Townsend. but no data is obtain
able - to what they saw.
Numerous attempts have been made
70 organize exploring parties. but they
have invariably fallen through, the
courage Of the projectors oozing out at
the last moment. There is a fine OPP
portunity for some of the hardy citi-
zens Of the sound to acquire fame by
unveiling the mystery which wraps the
land encircled by the snow-capped
Olympic range.
