make one respect and study the cause as it

Captain vitus Behring's Grave.

Scant and tardy honor will soon be shown
so the memory of gallant discoverer,
whose very place of burial has heretofore
been unknown to most persons. During
the cruise last year of the Alout, n schooner
attached to the Russian Siberian fotilla,
the officers of that vessel landed on .Behr-
ing's island in search of the grave of the
discoverer of those straits. The bones
of Behring and his companions in mis-
fortune were found buried beneath n
simple cairn of rough stones carelessly
piled. The officers resolved to replace the
cairn by II more worthy memorial, and on
their return to Vlndivostock collection
was set on foot among the officers of the
Siberian squadron, with the result that u
handsome and. durable granite tombstone,
surmounted by an iron cross, has now
been completed. The memorial will be
transported from Vlatlivostock and placed
over the lonely grave on Behring's island.
Captain Vitus Behring, rs is well known,
was IL Dane by birth, and was in the Rus
sian naval service when his important dis
covery was made in 17oS. He died Dec. 4,
1T4l %. 81, from scurvy, on Behring's is,
land, where he and his companions had
sought refuge after the laundering of their
shin
