FLEEING FROM DAWSON.
Gold Seekers Returning to Escape
Impending Famine.
MANY WILL PERISH EN- ROUTE.

Indian Man Carrier Declares That
Twenty-nve Per Cent OF the strug-
Cling Army WIN Never Live TO Re-
cite the Terrors of Their Flight.
Victoria, b. c.. Dec. 18.-By steamer
from Dyea news is received that more
than a thousand i'll provisioned men
stampeded from Dawson during the
latter part of October, and impelled
by fears Of famine are now forcing
their way over the mountains. AUX,
the Indian mail carrier, who brings
this report left the Yukon capital fully
ten days after the Dalton party. He
says the vanguard Of the terror strick-
en- army is following less than a week
behind him. AUX declares that fully
G5 per cent of the struggling army will
never live to recite the terrors Of their
flight north.
The river steamers Bella and Weare,
It now appears, did not land more than
100 tons Of provisions on their arrival
in Dawson in the early part Of Oc-
tober, owing to their having been held
up at Circle City.
The only bright view Of the situation
is that the crossing Of the pass above
Dyea and Skaguay has lately been
greatly improved, and within a month
will be in excellent condition.
Dyea parties, headed by George f.
Ulmer, propose to go to the relief Of
the hungry at Dawson. They will make
the United States government an offer
to deliver $4,000 pounds of provisions
within so days after the time Of start
ing for Dawson for the sum Of $4,000.
| They already have 5000 pounds Of pro-
visions cached at Lake Bennett, which
they will take in over the Chilkoot
Pass this winter. Ulmer will go south
by the next steamer to lay his plan
before the secretary Of war by wire.

SATDD FROM THE WRECK
British Steamer Brings in the Grew
Of a Norwegian Bark.
THRILLING RESCUE FROM DEATH

The Norweglans Had Given UP In De-
spair when the Kildonia Hove IN
sight and Ten Brave sailors Came
TO Their Relief.
Newport News, Va. Dec IA. - The
British steamship Kildonia, Captain
Roberts, arrived in port yesterday from
Shields, having on board Captain G.
il. N. Nymann and Andreas Michalsen,
Elbert Elllngsen, Sugure Nilsson, Val
demar Linler, Juan villa, Andrew Var
ges and II. Karpp, the crew Of the
Norwegian bark Njemmett, which was
lost in midocean on Sunday, Dec. s.
The crew of the bark tell a thrilling
story of their experience On oct "a
the Niemmett left Champarten. Yucca
tan, Central America, with a cargo of
logwood, for Falmouth, Eng. The ves-
sci had not been at sea many days be-
fore she sprung a leak Pumps were
set to work, but the flow Of water in
creased until it became necessary for
all hands to stay at the pumps in order
to keep the ship afoat. The men finally
became exhausted. A signal of distress
was run up and the bark drifted aim
lessly about.
k1tN NA al oAFelillEA0 NHlG blhnNGuf Uul
none of them responded to the sig
nails. Captain Nymann and his crew
had given up in despair when tho Kill
donla hove in sight A heavy sea was
running and huge waves were beating
against the sides Of their ship, which
had become waterlogged and was rap
idly going to pieces. Captain Roberts
saw the flag of distress and went to
the rescue Of the seamen. Going as
near to the bark as could be done
with safety, he ordered his crew to
lower a lifeboat.
Ten men volunteered to risk their
lives in order to save their fellow sea-
men. When they saw the llfeboat
coming toward the bark some of the
shipwrecked sailors were so delighted
that they leaped overheard and swan
to the little craft. All hands on board
the vessel were rescued, though they
lost all of their personal effects save
what clothing they wore. The arrival
of the seamen was reported to the
Norwegian vice consul at Norfolk, and
he took charge Of the men last night.

SNOW LOCOMOTIVES TO RESCUE.
Secretary AIger Orders the Machines

Secretary AIger Orders the Machines
Shipped to Alaska.
Washington, Dec. 1.-THE plan Of
using steam snow locomotives to open
and maintain communication between
the outside world and the Klondike
country has not been abandoned by
any means. Secretary Alger was in
consultation yesterday with several
representatives of a company which
has already made two Of these loco
motives and the secretary, who is in
tensely solicitous to extend aid to min
ers who are supposed to be suffering
from the lack of food, authorized them
to proceed to ship the machines to
Alaska and make the effort to get
through to the interior The plan is to
use either the Chillkoot Pass and the
Dalton trail or the White Pass, with
preference for the former route. The
men who were at the war department
yesterday assured Secretary Alger that
they could take the locomotives up
either of these passes, with the pos
sibility of requiring the assistance Of
cable power in one place about half a
mile long. Once over that place, near
the head of the Chilkoot Pass, there
would be no difficulty, they said, in
making good time across country over
the snow to Fort SellSirk, and thence
to Dawson.

Don't give them tea or coffee. Have you tried
the new food drink called Grain-OH 1t is

children the more health you distribute

pure grains and when properly prepared
tastes like the choice grades of coffee but costs
about as much. All grocers sell it, 15o and
