THE situation has been met wonder

TIE lieutenant. says that great credit Is
due to MIR, Charles y. Brewer, of Lieb's
Whaling Station, for making the mon
comfortable. If 1t had not been for his ef-
forts many of them would have starved.

I'VE were 1902 days on the road, ana I

THE BEAR GOES SOUTH.

While this little band of determined AM
orleans were pushing their way overland
the cutter Bear returned South to un>
alaska Island, where 1t spent the winter.
Its work during the long winter months
is a record of lives and vessels saved, or
which the general public is likely to hear
very little. ............
As soon as navigation opened, the Bear
started north made its way through Boring
Strait, passed Port Hope and up into the
Arctic ocean, and, after most remarkable
experiences, threatened destruction ana
adverse winds and currents, reached Point
Barrow at . o'clock on the morning OF
July 49, There she took on board ll9 or
the whalers, and in the return trip gave
many of them an opportunity Of shipping
in other whaling vessels, but finally
brought 81 survivors back to Seattle,
where she arrived on September 10.
Capt. Shoemaker received number of
letters from Lieut.. B. II. Jarvis, giving
details of the remarkable overland eXpedi-
ton. The lieutenant speaks very modest
ly of the work accomplished by himself
and comrades. He discounts the terrible
hardshps and R1ecfully reports that he
made the trip within the time he himself
had set, and that he had not even been
frost-bitten, although the mercury drop
ped to 40 below zero.
On January 10 the lieutenant reached
Point Rodney and writes: I'VE are here
at last after a months travel. We have
had a hard road lately, with very cold
blowing weather. and lost three days hy
northerly gales. We have travelled by
deer team, from Golovin Bay, and 1t has
taken us seven days. We are lucky not
to have frozen out ourselves or got lost
in snowstorms."
At this point Lieut.. Jarvis secured 1875
deer and in his letter impresses on the
government the absolute necessity of re-
turning them and keeping involate all
promises made to the natives.
The condition of the whaiers was for
tunately not as bad az had been antici-
pated. On this subject the lieutenant
says "There is no suffering and will be
none. Last fall 1t looked ra Their blue and
provisions were very scarce articles when
we looked ahead, but a set OF most for
tuitous circumstances made 1t all right.
First the wreck of the. Navarch came
drifting in, and nearly 90 barrels Of -four
wero gotten out of her besides other
| stores.
'"rhen some unknown cause has driven
| the Wild deer down to this part OF the
coast, and the natives have killed moro

more than have been known for tho past

Relief For Trouble.

Yes, for some people in this world there
seems no let up. They are pursued from
youth to manhood and from manhood into
old age. Very distinguished are Lord

hounds, and Queen Victoria pays IS, 800

But all Of them put together do not equal
in number or speed or power to hunt down

and trouble are owner and master.

A Glorious Rescue.
Oh, when some Of You got there 1t will
be like what hunter tells Of when push
Ing his canoe far up north in the winter
and amid the ice foes and 100 miles as ho
thought, from any other human beings.
He was startled ono day as he heard a
stepping on the ice, and he cooked the
rifle ready to meet anything that came
near. He found man, barefooted and
insane from long exposure, approaching
him. Taking him into his canoe and
kindling fires to warm him, no restored
him and found out where he had lived and
| took him to his home and found all the
| Village In great excitement. A hundred
| men were searching for this lost man, and
| his family and friends rushed out to meet
| him, and, as had been agreed, at his first
| appearance bells were rung and guns
were fired and banquets spread, and the
rescuer loaded with presents. Well, when
some Of you step out of this Wilderness,
where you have been chilled and torn and
sometimes lost amid the icebergs, into the
warm greetings Of all the villages of the
glorifled, and your friends rush out to give
you welcoming kiss, the news that there
Is another soul forever saved will call the
caterers of heaven to spread the banquet,
and the bellmen to lay hold of the rope In

the feast and the bells clang from the tur-
rets 1t will DO scene so uplifting pray

BLACK ROCKS.

A Story OF the Early Days ~ the Con.
ncllsville Coal Region.
A writer in Forest and Stream says
that Elias Blank, one of the early set
tiers of what is now the great Councils
Vile coal region, in western P%ennsylva-
MIA. was among the first Americans to
burn soft coal. How the thing came
about is thus described:
One night Mr.. Blank was aroused by
o rapping at his door. Opening it, he
admitted a famous Indian fighter, Lewis
Whetzell. and a companion, Jonathan
Gates, commonly known as Long
Arms"
Friend Lewis" said Blank, "where
have thee and our friend been and
where bound?"
II want to get INT Of here at once"
said Whetzell, land Long Arms is of
the same opinion. This country's be-
| witched, and Long Arms and I are
nearly scared to DEATH"
Friend Lewis, thee must not tell
such stories to me,' said old Elias.
"Thee knows I am thy friend, and l
have saved thee when q price was on
thy head. l know thou art a man of
courage, and friend Jonathan Gates,
whom some call Long Arms, fears
nothing OH earth, and I'm fearful moth
ing anywhere else, and yet thou tellest
me that he and thee are scared even al
most unto death. Shame on thee so to
declare before thy friend, who loves ye
both MS he were thy father!"
"No. no., Elias, said Whetzell, drop.
ping into the Quaker speech. II tell
thee no lie. We are scared. Yesterday
afternoon we were in hiding about q
mile from Dunkard creek, and in the
evening we built a fire under the bank
very carefully. and we got some blacl
rocks to prop up a little kettle and put
them beside the fire rather than in it
and the black rocks took fire and burned
fiercely, with a filthy smoke and
bright light, and Long Arms said tn
devil would come if we staid, and W
grabbed our kettle and poured out tn
water and made our way here, Leaving
the black rocks to burn"
Elias Blank was much interested. H
did not tell Whetzell what the blacl
rocks were, but he found out exactl,
where the men had made their fire. an,
when they went away he gave then
each II new Ezra Engle rife, a knit
and n tomahawk, with four pounds Q
powder and a supply Of lead.
Then he hunted up their campin
ground, found the ''black rocks an
opened a coal bank into one of the rive
hills, and this coal bank is still in ex
istence in a l2 foot vein Of coal that
{ absolutely free from slate and burn
, like pitch.
