Two men on deck threw the pieces over

to remove all the mans things from the

When everything was In readiness we
went on deck. There lay the body, pro-
perly sewed up In canvas, and the feet
heavily weighted. The whole crew with
uncovered heads stood I'm a circle around
the body. 1t was a touching scene. Step

the body carefully and found everything

One OF the curses OF life at sea has been

thought to be necessary for men In the
Arctic, but experience has proved II to be
harmful instead OF beneficial, and only In

When. after many days at sea We en-
tered the Ice we seemed TO have come
into an entirely new existence. The snip
and whaling gear had long been all ready
for service. The men were nerved UP 10
the excitement Of raising the first
whale, and the brisk weather Infused new
life and animation into everybody and
everything. The first week of life in the
Ice was frightful. A terrific gale from
the Northwest blew constantly. and
Wild sea was running. Packs formed and
disntegrated like magic. We would be
for one instant In a vast expanse or open
water and in the next instant so solidly
enclosed in the pack that the ships tim

Jolly. Independent and irresponsible as
sailors are, there are times when they are
exceedingly thoughtful. Shortly before
we sailed from San Francisco a sister
whaler had passed through the Golden
Gate, encountered head wind and OPP
posing tides, and had been swept irresis-
tibly to destruction, with twenty-five
lives lost. We passed through the Golden
Gate under somewhat similar circum-
stances. Head winds delayed US until the
incoming OF the tide. but by skiliful SEA-
manship we kept or, and on the third
day passed out Of sight OF land.

COULD HOLD BUT ONE.
Ed. Little's Claim on the County At
torneyship Dissolved.

The chief feature of district courts
proceedings today was the handing
down by Judge Humphrey of a deci-
sion In the county attorney ship by
which he declared that Il. G. Little
cannot hold the position while also
holding "A federal office.
The decision was based on the plea
In abatement entered by the attorneys
for the defense IN the Tay lor case dur
ing the early portion of the present
term of district court. AT that time
he took the matter under adyisement
and designated o l.. Moore as county
attorney until further orders.
Judge Humphreys decision covers
seven pages closely type written aud
discusses in detail the situation. This
is, he says In substance, plea to abate
the inform ition filed against the de-
fendant, Mrs. Taylor, which charges
murder in the irst degree. 1t is signed
by l. q. Hardesly ss county attorney
by appointment from L. G. Little, the
elected county attorney. lie calls
attention to the fact that Mr.. Little
had not entered on the duties Of his
office when the appointment of a deputy
was IN ide aud holds that the accept
ance Of federal office on his part WAS
AN abandonment OF bis county office.
Hence the Office Is declared vacant
and Judge Humphrey will consider
applications for appointment of
county attorney to Oil the position
until next falls election when one will
be elected by the people. The court
will not make the appointment at
present but will take the matter under
adyisement
In the meantime Mr.. Moore who was
appointed temporarily until further
orders will continue to look after the
duties of the Office.
This afternoon the case Of Latto vs..
Litto, which has been before the court
for several years, is on trial.

You would not ask the ho-

You would not expect that

You would not expect the
