Barrow has been indorsed by Rear. Ad-
miraI Kirkland, commandant of Mare
Island Navy-yard. and board of officers
con insisting of Captain Henry Glass, Cap
tain Whiting, Capt. Clark, Captain
Kempff and Lieutenant t-Commander Per-
kins. After listening TO Mr.. Stoney's re-
port the admiral wired to Secretary Long
lat the plan of rescue was entirely feasi-
Bile and recommended that Lieutenant
Stoney be placed in command of the ex-
pedition, that officer having formally
volunteered for the service during the
dav.
Lieutenant Stoney arrived at the navy
yard from San Francisco at O. clock and
went at once to Rear-Ad miral Kirkland's
eside and reported that he had carried
out the commandant's orders to investi-
! gate the feasibility of sending relief ex-
pedition to the Arctic and was ready to
report. Immediately after dinner Admi-
raj Kirkland. Lieutenant Stoney and Cap
| tain of the Yard Glass retired to the ADJ

as far north along the Alaskan coast as
possible. l am satisfied that the ship can
reach the north shore of Norton sound,
and probably Port Channel. That would
be the objective point, for there the trst
herd of reindeer is stationed. There are
several hundred head in this herd, and
would take them all and drive them north
along the coast. accompanied by three or

take considerable time.
The Bear was then suggested and Sec
retary Gage and Chief Shoemaker said
that OF all vessels that was the one for the
trip. After further consideration it was
decided to act and 10 act promptly, and
Secretary Gage, through Chief Shoe
maker, accordingly wired instructions to
Captain Tuttle, commander of the Bear,
now at Seattle. to prepare the vessel for
the voyage. Chief Shoemaker wired to
Captain Tuttle to ascertain how long it
would take to get her ready, and late to-
night had received no definite informa a.
The San Francisco call., 1897-11-09

"Will the plan of Lieutenant stoney be
carried out?' inquired the correspondent.
"The expedition will be under the su-
pervision of the revenue marine and will
be carried out by Captain Tuttie. The
plan of relief cannot be deter ined in
the absence OF more specific information.
The matter should be left largely to the
discretion OF the Bears commanding Off
Ger, as emergencies may ariseithat we can
not foreshadow, but in general the plan
will be as follows: If the Bear can get
through Berlng Straits OF course she will
do SO; but if not st. Michael will be the
base of all operations"
''Will the reindeer at Port Clarence be
utilized?'
Perhaps so. Indeed. L think it very
likely. [ think that large herd OF them
will be driven from either Port Clarence

mo; it has not arrived yet, though
expect to have it early tomorrow. The
expedition has been ordered already and
will be under the supervision of the Treas
ury Department, although, of course. we
expect that the report we are TO receive
from the commandant may give us some
additional information. But We are con-
vinced that something should be done at
once, and the Be ar was deemed the most
suitable vessel in the service OF the Gov
ernment for the purpose.
"If you will call on Mr.. Shoemaker,
Chief of the Revenue Marine, he will be
able doubtless to give you some of the de-
tails of the proposed expedition"
/ then saw Chief Shoemaker at the
Treasury Department. He sale he had
been called over to the White House by
lSlepHOlS Idtdci uueA pTOtONlJ aHu gOlHeu
the President and his advisers. He found
the President and Secretaries Gage, Long
and Alger, Commodore Melville and
Commander Dickinson.
Il supposed" said Chief Shoemaker,
that the Pr esident wanted me to furnish
advice as to the feasibility OF such an ex-
pedition, and [ gave my opinion very
plainly. l told him there was n doubt
that these whalers were in predicament
aud might be in grave danger, but that
owing to lack of specific information l
could not say how grave or how immi-
nent the danger was.
"'Do you think that if human lives are
in peril the revenue marine can do any
thing for their relief under the circum-
stance.P asked the President
We have done it before and we can do
it again, l replied.
The San Francisco call., 1897-11-09

Bliss will agree with the President and his
associates and with Captain Shoemaker
and myself that when human lives are in
danger, mere sentiment must not be
taken into consideration"
"Will the deer be already trained for
hauling or packing provisions?"
II doubt it." said Captain Hooper; mot
many of them are trained for that. I
think Captain Tuttle will nave to take
some dogs and sleds along for hauling
provisions as we'll as food for the deer. for
there may be very little deer moss along
that route for them to pick"
"Is there plainly marked trail from
Port Clarence or from Cape Prince of
Wales to Point Barrow"
mo. but there is no danger of the party
losing its way, if they take few natives
along with them"
"Do you think the trip can be made
from Port Clarence or Cape Prince of
Wales to Point Barrow in from thirty to
| fifty days?"
''Y esq said he, ait can be done in thirty
days l think"
From reports before you do you think
the whalers will be able to su bsist until
this relief arrves?'
"Yes. think they will be able to main
tain themselves on bear and smaller
game, with such seals as may poke their
he DIS out of the ice holes. Besides there
are likely to be some Indian villagers not
fsr away and the Indians may be able to
furnish some food, although 800 is good
plumber to feed.'
In conclusion the captain paid q high
tribute to the Bear. 'Shs has made such
trips before this" said he. ''She rescued
the whaler Narvich on her last trip, in
1880 rescued the Jeanette and two whalers
and in 1886 the whaler Amethyst"
"Can the Bear be ready in twenty
days?"
Yes in less time if necessary"

ton. But he had talk with Captain
Hooper after he Cabinet meeting this
afternoon and afterward Chief Shoemaker
said that she could be ready in twenty
days or perhaps less
fInstructions have been wired to begin
work at once" said he. "She is a COM
modious vessel and I'll be able to carry
enough supplies to maintain not only her
own crew comfortably, but to give to the
whalers plenty. We will load her with
100 barrels of beef, pork and tack and all
such substantials.'
Who will have command of the expe-
dition2"
"Tne commander of the Bear, Captain
Tuttle," said he, land no better man
could be selected. He has already made
two trips up there and Captain Hooper,
who has been up twelve times, agrees with

CALL OFFICE, RIGGS House,
WASHINGTON, D. c.. Nov. s.
True to the promise made 10 the repre-
sentative of The CALL last night Secre-
tarY of the Navy Long had talk with the
President early this morning concerning
the whalers Imprisoned in the Arctic ice
A council of Secretaries Gage, Long and
Ager and Chief Shoemaker of the reve-
nue. marine, Commodore Melville. chief
Of engineers OF the Navy Department,
and Commander Dickinson of the navy
was held Immediately. The Secretary OF
the Navy considered the situation urgent,
and concluded not TO await the report of
The commandant of the Mare Island yard,
which he telegraphed for last nirht, nor
the regular meeting of the Cabinet on
Tuesday. The result OF the conference of
the President with his Ca binet to-day is
that the revenue cutter Bear has been
ordered TO prepare at once fol a trip
to Bering Sea to relieve the unfortunate
whaIers.
Shortly after noon to-day THE CALL
correspondent received a message asking
him to call at the Navy Department
Secretary Long said: The President mas
Just had a conference with the Secretary
of the Treasury, the Secretary of War and
myself to consider the proposition of
relief urged by THE CALL, and has ordered
Me Bear to make ready at once, but the
\-esident is desirous of receiving any
additional information that he can, for be
IS greatly interested in the matter. The
telegraphic dispatches have been brief,
and 1 request that you wire to San Fran
cisco and ascertain the following facts:
"First-The President would like to
know as accurately as may be just where
the whalers are at this time. This infor-
nation may be given approxim ately, but
of course we would like to have specific in
formation if possible.
''Second-How did the news OF sheir
predicament reach San Francisco?
'Third-How many vessels are caught
in the ice?
The San Francisco call., 1897-11-09

or Port Prince of Wales 20 Point Barrow
to furnish meat for the whalers.'
Where will the Bear take on provis-
ions?''
Sat Seattle" said the chief. "Instruc-
tions to that effect have already been
sent. Our plan now is to send another
vessel as soon as possible after the Bear.
This is our custom, so that they may offer
protection, one for the other. The proba-
bilities are the Corwln will be selected.
though this is not definitely settled. She
IS now at San Diego"
"Will they rendezvous at any certain
place?'
"No rendezvous is ecessary up there in
the ice.' said the chief With a smile.
"They will have no trouble about meet
ing. The Bear will be instructed to bring
the whalers back in case their ships are
too badly damaged to navigate when the
ice breaks up next June or July. We do
not think the Bear can get back to San
Francisco until next fall"
I next saw Captain Hooper at the Shore
ham. He had already had talk with
Captain Shoemaker concerning the expe-
dition. The Treasury Department places
great reliance on his Judgment in all mat
ters and things concerning Alaska and
the Bering Sea.
Captain Hooper said: Eyes. will un-
doubtedly superin tend the work of getting g
the vessel under way, for / am in charge
Of the work of construction and equip
ment in the revenue marine service. But
Captain Tuttle will have charge of the
expedition as captain of the Bear, and no
better man could be selected. 1 had a
talk with Hon. John w. Foster about the
seal conference, and he told me it would
be concluded before next Saturday. l
therefore expect to start for the coast on
Saturday. aud proba bly, shall go direct to
Seattle. We have talked the matter over
and agreed that some vessel should follow
the Bear as soon as possible. AS Chief
Shoemaker saws, the Corwn is rather too
small to hold stock OF provisions, but on
the other hand. because of her size, she
may be the best vessel for that purpose.
Being small, she could probably round
the point and reach Point Barrow sooner
than the Bear, although she would start
The San Francisco call., 1897-11-09

me th at Captain Tuttle is the man for the
expedition.
DO you think that the Bear can reach
Norton Sound in timer"
IL do not think anything about it," re-
piled the bluff old captain. II only know
that men are in peril; that We have been
ordered to perform our duty; that we
have accom- plished such things before !;
that the Bear is a stanch and valiant
craft, and what has been done can be done
again. If any vessel can do it the Bear
can. She will try her best to pass Bering
Straits, but if she cannot do it ST. Michael
will be the base of operations
The San Francisco call., 1897-11-09

several weeks later. This matter will be
decided definitely before leave Washing
ton. An alternative proposition is to have
the Thetis follow the Bear. The Sc cretary
of the Navy said to-day she needed re-
pairs in the sum of some $4,000, but Chief
Shoemaker told the President at the con-
ference to-day that with the expenditure
of about $1,000 the Thetis could be made
ready for the trip. The The tis might be
better than the Corwin, for she is good
deal larger"
''How many reindeer will be driven
from Port Clarence to Port Barrow?"
"That is matter for Captain Tuttle to
decide after he gets there"
HAS the Secretary of Interior given
his consent for this use of the reindeer?"
"Oh, there win be no trouble about
that" said the captain. "for Secretary
The San Francisco call., 1897-11-09

Yes, said the P esident, we can do
it If we make up our minds that it can
be done
The President then inquired of Secre-
tary Long whether there was any vessel
in the navy that was available for such
service. Secretary Long replied that the
Thets was the only one; that before she
could undertake such a journey repairs 10
the amount OF about $4,000 would have
