cuts up from the waters edge to the top
of the island. At the lower end of this

Where these people have come from is
the curious problem in the estimation of
the three whalers, as a few years ago
the island was almost entirely depopula-
ted of its inhabitants by starvation.
Food in that region is no longer so abun-
dant as to be readily obtainabe with the
primitive weapons and implements used
by Indians. The American whalers from
the south have nearly rid the waters CT
the white whale, the great food of these
natives, and what fish of this variety here
is now seeks the protection of the frozen
ocean, or if the fish venture south through
the strait they are so wild and timid that
Il is rarely possible that an Indian villa
ger can catch one of them.
The walrus. too, such an important ami
NAL in the Eskimo's scheme of subsist-
ence, has so nearly disappeared that the
visit of one about the island is now rar-
ity. The whaleIs have caught and de-
stroyed them for the ivory of their tusks.
The caribou on the mainland are all gone,
and the Indian is now forced 30 subsist
mainly on small fish and sea lions. Some
of the salmon. however, are enormously
large, being five feet long and weighing
as much as 120 pounds. Their skins are
heavy and tough, and when scaled and
tanned are used to cover biarkas--the Es-

Frederick Walker, Joseph Schomanoff.
and James Aiken have just returned to
San Francisco, via Seattle, from a cruise
of adventure and discovery among the
waters Of the northern territory. They
tell of q remarkable tribe of Indians whom
they found inhabiting an island near the
6oth parallel of latitude and south of Ber-
ing Strait, called Kings Island.
The Indians seemed 10 belong to the In

lips of many of the men holes had been
punched, in which pendent ornaments
were worn. The people appeared docile
and agreeable, and when the strangers
went among them they offered them no
harm.
A surprising feature of the tribe was
the stature and strength of the women

The Ohio Giant Fails to Last the
First Round.
New York, June 29.-Tom Sharkey, the
sailor. pugilist of California, knocked out
Gus Rubin, the Ohio giant in less than
one round tonight before the Greater New
York Athletic Club at Coney Island
Ruhlin's' defeat was accomplished in ex-
actly 2 minutes and II seconds.
Sharkey then rushed to the ringside and
leading on the props shouted: II am now
ready to meet Fitzslmmons, Corbett Nc
Coy or any other man for the heavy
weight championship of the world"
The story of the fight, if il can be called
such, is easily told.
Rubin was the first to land, but Sharkey
was quick to reply His arms, and he can
use both of them cleverly, swung like
falls, and as his gloves landed on Rubin }
head it was seen at once that Rubin had
not chance on earth against his antago-
INST.
The Knockout blow was a hard right
swing, which reached Ruhlin's jaw in the
proper spot. Gus went down as If felied
with an ak, and lay partly on his stomach
and elbow. He tried to get up, but could
not while the referee was counting the
ten seconds which would end the encount-
er.
Rubin was beaten after the first swing
landed, and Sharkey's stock in the pugilis-
tic market went soaring as high as a rock
ct.
The spectators left the building quite
satisfied with the contest, which was de-
void of any brutality or foul work
The arena was crowded with a repre-
sentative gathering of sporting men from
all over the United States, who came here
to see the contest.
Sharkey was the favorite. and the rul-
ing odds were 100 to 70 on the sailor.
