every endeavor to get supplies TO them
by June l. They know nothing of the
Government relief expedition now on its
way there. There are, Walker says
lS6 persons at Point Barrow. who by liV-
ing on short rations. viii have enough
supplies TO last them until July ]. The
whaIers east of Point Barrow are in
better circumstances. Besides having
plenty Of provisions on hand, they have
a large stock at Herschel Island to draw
on. Mr.. Walker confirms the report of

Gun Practice.

New York, April 19.-Commodore Schley
and the officers of the flying squadron
are impatiently waiting. Everything is
ready for the word that means action.
From $50 a. m. until 5 p. m. today the
men on the Massachusetts were kept
busy at subcaliber practice. The drill
was primarily to school the green hands
in the breech mechanism of the different
guns rather than for target practice.
Gun practice was also had on the Brook
lyn. The crews of the other ships were
debarred from this work owing to danger
to passing craft
At $50 a. m. the call to general quar-
tiers was sounded on the flagship and sig
nails run up TO the other ships to beat
the call. Inside of five minutes every
vessel reported ready" On the Brook
lyn Commodore Schley made personal
inspection, and said later:
81 never saw anything like it. If the
same condition of perfection prevails on
the other ships the squadron could not be
improved upon.
