SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 27.-The whaling
schooner Nicotine, Captain b. +. Tilton,
has reached port from Fox Island, after a
passage of twenty-siX days. She brought
nearly 10, 900 pounds of whalebone, bear
skins, foxskins and 800 pounds of ivory.
Captain Tilton confirms the report of
the loss of the schooner Emily Schroeder.
The vessel was wrecked in Marryat's In
let, Point Hope, October Ii, 1893. At the
same time the schooner Silver Wave was
ashore in the sand, but resting easily. A
fearful gale was blowing at the time, and
the Nicotine lost two of her anchors and
considerable chain. The heavy sea washed
over the point and the natives fled to the
hills, fearing that they would be en-
quilted by the rising water.
At one of the whaling stations the water
was two feet deep in the house, and boats
were floating all around. 1t was the hard
est gale that Captain Iilton ever eX
perienced. Plenty of wreckage was
picked up by the natives.
In July last at Point Hope the ice was
very thick, but all vessels had passed
that point by the 18th in their way north.

three white whales.
In speaking of missionary work in
Alaska, Captain Tilton says: 81 think
the Government should do something for
the natives of Alaska, as they are quiet
and intelligent race of people. and are
anxious to live like civilized people.
