MANILA BAY.

The arst fight Of the war Is fought.
And who Is the victor-say-
Is there aught Of the lesson now left I'M
taught
BY the fight Of Manila bay?
Two by two were the Spanish ships
Forn'd in their battle line;
Their flags at the taffrail, peak and fore,
And bat'ries ready upon the shore,
Silently b1ding their time.
Into their presence sailed our fleet,
The harbor was fully mined:
With shotted guns and open ports
Up to their ships-aye-up to their forts;
Tor Dewey is danger blind.
Signaled the flagship "Open fire."
And the guns be!ched forth their death.
AT closer range" was the order shown;
Then each ship sprang to claim her own,
And to lick her fiery breath.
Served were our squadron's heavy guns,
With gunners stripped to the waist:
And the binding. swirling. sulph'rous
smoke
Enveloped the ships as each gun spoke,
In Its furious fearful haste.
Sunk and destroyed were the Spanish ships:
Hu.led by our heavy shot,
For the Yankee spirit Is dust the same.
And the Yankee grit and the Yankee aim:
And their courage which faileth not
The first great fight of the war Is fought!
And Who is victor-say-
Is there aught of the lesson now left un-
taught
BY the fight Of Manila bay?

With Tie DruSn anu my clOthlnS was
fairly torn into Shreds. Arrived at our
cabin fel! through the door onto the
Hoor and at once dropped into deep
sleep-the sleep Of exhaustion-from
which did not awaken until the next
day. I then found myself too weak to
stand and was compelled to crawl about
the cabin on my hands and knees, watt
ing on myself as best could.
Energy and determination TO win
are very essential qualities for one to
possess in seeking gold in Alaska, and
l had thought myself possessed OF suf-
ticlent of these to enable me to triumph
over all difficulties, but it is wonderful
how quickly these qualities leave one
when sickness weakens the body and
death by disease stares one in the face.
AS lay there almost helpless thought
if I could only get strong enough how
gladly l would turn my face towards
home and civilization. All yearnings
for Alaskan gold had left me, and felt
that to remain in the country meant
sure death.
AS I lay one night, shaking and dis
heartened, heard the sound of an ap-

realized that if I could only get to the
boat landing I might procure some
thing from the boats supplies that
would give me strength and aid in re-
storing health. BY great effort sue

knees to the landing, some 800 feet from

for which l paid SIS. I then crawled

During MY dreary confinement in the

low from West Virginia, who was laid
up with rheumatism. By the way, I
would warn everybody in the least sub

Alaska, for If there is any one thing the
dampness of the soil of Alaska has an
especial affinity for it is rheumatism.

but here he was. so badly afflicted that
he was unable TO even crawl on his
hands and knees, but had to roll about
on the floor when he desired to change
his position.
AS soon as I was able to walk l sold
my 1S-months' supply of provisions and
outfit and took the first boat down the
river for home. AS 1 approached the
gangplank to board the boat some one
hailed me with: Twill you please take
a letter for my wife," Turning to the
speaker, was fairly struck dumb with
amazement. The man making the re-
quest was one of the party that had
come up the river on the boat with me,
and remember how I had envied him
his superb physique. Standing over six
feet, broad-shouldered, deep-chested
and strong-limbed, he was the picture
OF vigorous American manhood, but
what a transformation two months
prospecting in Alaska mud had
wrought! So great was the change in
his appearance that but for his voice
l would not have recognized him; his
cheeks were hollow, eyes sunken and
lusterless, shoulders stopped and chest
t1attened-in fact, he was but mere
ghost of his former self. AS soon as
l could recover from my establishment

Why, man, think you need to go to
your wife yourself instead of sending
her letter." to which he replied:
NO, no; l can't go back yet. When /

from St. Michaels, in July of last year,
and in company with some hardy fell
lows went to prospecting for gold,
which, from accounts that had been
given us, we were led to believe could
be literally scooped up by the bucket
full almost anywhere in the district.
Our first trial at prospecting convinced
US that what we had been told regard
ing the country and it's wealth of gold
had been largely fairy tales, and we
also soon learned that person needs
to be acclimated in Alaska as we'll as
in the tropics, several of our party
soon falling sick and some dying. Sick
ness and death are not pleasant subjects
for contemplation under the most IA
vorable conditions, but when they come
in the midst of Alaskan dreariness,
without proper nursing or medical aid,
they are doubly grewsome and to be
dreaded accordingly.
10 persons who have never been in
Alaska prospecting for gold it would
probably not seem very hard or diff
cult work, but when it is understood
that in the summer season the surface
of the ground is covered with moss,
under which is from two to three feet
of soft mud with a frozen bottom
as that is as deep as the ground ever
thaws-and that the prospector sinks
into this mud from eight inches to two
feet at every step,,it will be readily seen
that the life of the prospector for gold
in Alaska, especially in the summer
time, is not primrose way. Instead, it
is about the hardest and most disagree
able task mortal ever undertook. In
tramping over ordinary ground when
one gets weary he may sit or lie down
and rest; not so, however, when wading
through Alaskan mud, as one finds no
place to sit or lie except in the cold
mud, and l never realized what a
blessed thing dry ground was until my
prospecting experience in mud-covered
Alaska.
We had established permanent
camp, where we had cabin. made as
comfortable as circumstances would
permit, from which we made Journeys
through the adjacent territory in quest
of gold. Being strong, and determined
to strike it rich, stood the weariso1ne

out on prospecting trip with two com
