TO assist Astor Lodge in laying Brt

upon the coffin; one of the most beau

steamer Polar Bear" on which Cap

Alaska. The owners of the steamer
recognizing his faithulness and ability
had this model made as memorial OF
him. 1t was composed of flowers, bedd.
ed in large mass of fragrant buds
vines and blossoms, and had the Amer
lean flag flying at the peak. 1t was a
tribute of respect to the departed
navigator, that speaks equally for the
heads and hearts of those who employ
