SEATTLE, Sept. 1a.-Just before the
steamer Cleveland left st. Michaels,
the SURVIVOR Of q most disastrous
wreck, in which forty.two men lost
their lives, reached the island. Only
nine live to tell the tale Of one OF the
most terrible trips ever taken in Arc
tic waters. The steam whaler Nava-
reh, Of San Francisco, cruising in Arc
waters got caught in an iceberg. The
particulars OF the fearful loss OF life
that followed the unfortunate ship
we're not obtained by either passen-
gers on the Cleveland nor her crew.
As much of it as they know is contain
ed in the brief summary of few ad'

came jammed in the ice, there must
have been part of the crew who tried
to get out by working their way across
the ice. There was thirty-one OF
these persisted. Eleven more froze to
