A DANGEROUS PLIGHT.
One Old Sailors Exciting Adventure with
~ Polar Ecar In tho Cold Kcgions.

Polar Bear Ia the Cold Regions.
There is an old soldier named Jake
recently returned to San Francisco from
an Arctic cruise, who has made up this
mind not to go on another whaling OK
petition no matter what happens. The
reason Is this: On one occasion during
his hate voyage Jake was on the watch
In the lookout cradle ut tho masthead,
and 1T was night-that is, as much
night MS it ever gets up there in sum-
mer. The sun had been down about an
hour and would rise again about an
hour later
1t was beautiful sight rs tho ship
lay there in the ice, and the air seemed
Scintillating with phosphorescent glow
that penetrated everywhere and made
no shadows On all sides tho pack ice
lay close to the vessel and reached for
miles i'll every direction, broken occa-
sionally by large berg or the faint out
lines of another ship. The silence was
profound. 1t seemed to produce Il roar
ing sound like the waves of Il distant
ocean. Such surroundings will put a
person i'll scmicomatosc state, from
which the slightest sound will awaken
him with start.
Jake suddenly saw something white
in the gloom climbing the mast. His
first impulse was to jump to the deck,
but before he could act upon ii the
white object climbed through the lubbcr
hole, and Jake then saw it was polar
bear Jake realized that he was in II
most dangerous position and began to
think of means to escape. He called to
the watch on deck below, but they
couldn hear. He tried to get out I'M
der the canvas, but the beast grabbed
him and pulled him back 1t began
humping him, and every time Jake at
tempted to move away it would growl
Suddenly his eyes lighted on rope
hanging to the deck just back of the
cradle By this means he thought he
conld reach the deck To swing himself
free was but the work of IN instant
but the bear made a jump aud caught
hold of his foot. But few vigorous
kicks freed him, and then began new
terror. Perhaps the ropc was; not strong
and would break, or he might miss the
stay and swing against the mast and be
dashed to death.
The moment i'll the air seemed years
filled with horror, and several times
Jake wished he had taken his chances
with the bear. To grab the stay and
hold on was the most difficult. and
twice Jake's hands Slipped and almost
lost il.
When he reached the deck, he looked
up and saw the rope swing back to the
cradle, where the bear grabbed it. 1t
tried TO do as it had seen Jake do but
had no sooner swung clear than it Slip
pei and fell TO the deck. The crew had

reason that if anything had happened
to me the command would have been
without guide and practically useless

The scouts greatest danger lies in
and in being ''ambushed. The Indians
carry field glasses, and often. when ex-
pecting pursuit, will post warrior in
some elevated position where he will
lie concealed and closely scan the back
