STRANGE PEOPLE.

United States steamer Bear rs
Kings Island, $500 miles north
west of here and 100 miles off the
coast of Siberia 1t lies almost in
the middle of the Behring Straits,
almost equidistant tron the Asiatic
and American shores. 1t is inhab-
tied by 1876 Of the queerest people a
ever set eyes upon. The inhab-
itants comprise men, women and
children of all ages, and, besides
these, there are numerous dogs of
all degrees except high. The island
is little more than rock rising out
of the storm tossed waters of the
ever turbulent straits. 1t is about
a mile long and half a mile wide,
and its sides are so precipitous that
they are cliffs.
almost in the middle Of the
island and at the south side is an
indentation made by the rushing
waters. This is expanded into a
funnel-like hole, reaching into the
island and out at the top at an
angle approximating 80 degrees.
The hole is $50 feet deep, aud dur
ing stormy weather the natives let
down a rope and drag up the seals,
walruses, and other sea animals
which they have taken. 1t is on
these animals that the natives sub
sist They are very expert In tax
ing them, as we'll as great whales,
which they do not fear to attack,
and, In fact, secure as trophies of
their proves. They hunt all these
animals in their kyaks-boats so
stout and skillfully made that,
though they are often tossed over
and over by the surf, they are new
er wrecked and are speedily righted.
The boatmen sit with their feet in
holes in the boats, clad in water
tight walrus skins. These boats
will put off successfully where the
ordinary boat will not live a min

but about the catch of these
walruses and other animals and
the strange island. The natives
have scooped out queer receptacles
on both sides of the entrance on
the ledge. These are SO cool that
they are natural refrigerators, and
in these they store the bodies of the
animals for future use. There are
about twenty Of these receptacjes,
or natural refrIgerators, and there
is nearly always a supply Of meat
in them, SO that the chances of
starving at any time are compar-
ativel Y scarce
"On the right side of the island
above is the village Of the Indians.
1t is a queer town, whose miniature
houses are made of walrus skins
stretched on light frames. The
ground is so rough that the little
skin abodes are arranged one above
the other, like houses in mining
camp on a mountain side, Ia the
distance they look small and fra
gile, but they are full Of people and
active as beehives. From the toss
ing waves where the Bear lay, the
catacomb-like refrigerators and the
village present a novel appearance

none of these professors of the black
art have performed more marvel
Gus things than | have seen these
barbarian medicine men do there
For instance, | have seen one OF
these medicine men take a man and
and Law him on a table, and take a
bic knife and stick it right into
him to the handle. The man would
writhe, turn pale, gasp, and die
Then the medicine man would with
draw the knife and 90 through a
few incantations, tumble over the
victim. and in a moment he would
get up and go about, sound as ever
| have also seen them pluck out
rabbits birds. and other forms OF
animal life from impossible places
They would do things before our
eyes that were marvellous to us and
to all the natives-for, of course,
the natives believe implicitly in
the supernatural powers of their
medicine men.
But the strangest thing I saw
happened on board my ship one
day. There were about 100 of these
natives aboard. One of the natives,
a girl, fell down with a hemorrhage
and vomited blood all around. The
blood came from her lungs in
streams. She was lying there on
the deck as pale as death, and |
thought to myself that she would
die there, so | rushed a man off to
get Dir. Yeamans, the Bears sur
geOn. Before he could get there
the chief medicine man rushed out,
and going to the girl, he blew first
into one ear and then into the 9th
er, tapped her on the chin, and she
got up and was all right again, and
she began dancing around on the
ship, as healthy and active as
though there never had been the
least thing the matter with her.
And, mark you, this wasn't two
minutes from the time she had the
hemorrhages. | never saw any
thing so marvellous in my life.
There was all the blood before me
on the ship too.
The tribe of Indians have lived
there from time immemorial. They
have been born there, and on the
island they bury their dead. The
Indians are nomads and leave the
island every summer, with the eX-
ception of Z few housekeepers, and
don't come back till September.

when they had been reduced to a
point bordering on starvation.
II cannot see but that these
natives on that rude rock in bleak
and distant Behring Straits are as
happy as any people | have even
known Their children are as JOY
full, apparently, as ours, and in al
respects the people seem to enjoy
life as we'll as we do here Did you
