PORT TOWNSEND, Wash, April 30.

for passengers two sealers who tell a
story of privatlon and suffering. They
are Gus Peterson, a German and a
half breed called Siwash Jimmie. They
left Victoria Jan. % in q sealing schoon-
er. CITY of San Diego. On the 4th of
April the two men, while out hunting
seals, were lost in a binding snow
storm and driven before the wind all
night in a small canoe. When day.
light came the schooner was not in
sight and the two men were in a small
canoe out of sight of land and with
nothing TO eat but frozen raw seal
meat. For six days and nights they
drifted until finally they went on the
Alaskan beach 100 miles west of Sitka,
where with hands and feet frozen stiff
they were picked up by Indians, who
cared for them until they were able to
be taken to Sitka, from which place
they came here on the Al XII. AS the
schooner City of San Diego has not
been sighted since the night of the
storm, Peterson is of the opinion she
was lost. She had eighty skins at the
time the men left her.

ESCAPED FROM MORO.
An American Who Had Many Adj
ventures.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass, April %
Walter S. Whitcomb of this city, who
enlisted with the Cuban insurgents and
made his escape from the famous Moro
castle, just outside of Havana, by
means of a rope, has returned to his
home and tells an interesting story of
his experience while in the army of
the Cubans.
He was walking in the streets OF
Jacksonville, Fla, when his attention
was attracted to squad Of Cuban
patriots, each bearing white silk ban
ners, designating that they were in
search Of men to enlist for the war.
His adventuresome spirit seized him
and he Joined the cause, receiving S15O
at the outset in American currency.
Six other recruits enlisted with him.
They took sail in the tug Port Jackson
and landed az Del Rio, where they
were met by two men from the insur-
gent camp under the command Of An
tonic Maceo. The party went at once
to the rebel camp. Whitcomb remained
in the rebel camp five weeks. This
camp was ninety miles from Havana
and contained 1900 insurgents. The
patriots were we'll informed, Whitcomb
says, in the simpler military tactics,
and devoted most of their time to drill
work While in camp, Whitcomb SUI
fered an attack of fever, and upon
his convalescence was given pass
through the lines to Havana. When
within twenty miles Of the city he fell
into a camp of Spanish soldiers. They
captured him and tied him hand and
foot to a tree. There were several Gu
bans captured with him, and they were
tied in ike manner. He spent the night
thus bound In the morning the Gu
bans were gone-killed, the Spaniards
told him. Whitcomb was taken 10
Moro castle in company with other
prisoners. At night he was confined
in the great dingy tower, but during
the daytime he was permitted the free
dom of the boulevard. There were
sixty prisoners in the castle, including
twelve Americans. Whitcomb had $140
with him when imprisoned, which he
had succeeded in concealing in his
shoe. He bribed the guard assigned to
his cell, paying him $50 for forty feet
of rope with which to escape from the
tower. Then he fastened the rope to a
stone and swung off into the Gulf of
Mexico. He swan out TO a catboat
belonging to one of the officials, and
was picked up by the Adrian, bound
for the Florida coast. The catboat was
taken in tow, and upon reaching Flor
ida Whitcomb sold it for $50.
