Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1898-07-08
A stormy Sea voyage.

We left Tuesday morning at 4
O'Clock and reached the ocean at
Cross Sound at noon. The sea was
rough and chappy and did not i'm
press us very favorably. To the right
we saw shore most all day, consisting
of high mountains, covered with ever
lasting snow and glaciers. Wednes-
day the sea was rolling high, but not
chappy, and was much more easy on
our boats. During the night we en-
countered 4 still more heavy sea
which made things crack, and a kind
of an uneasy feeling came over the
boys. and good many were thinking
of home. sweet home, but they ali
seemed to realize that we were in if
and had to face the clements, and no
one uttered word Of complaint.
The storm kept; on till Thursday noon,
when We became a sternwind. which
changed the situation, the sea became
calm and everybody began to breathe
more freely. AT this writing it is
Friday evening and we are making
good time. The sea is quiet and nice
weather prevails, and bv the time we
reach Kadiak Island the worst part of
our Journey will be over. We expect
to reach St. Michaels about June II.
June s.-Since writing the above.
our trip has not been quite so pro-
gressive. We reached Kadiak Island
all right, but heave sea has been
prevailing for the last three DAYS. We
made several attempts to sail, but
could not face the storm, and had to put
back into the harbor at Karluk. This
place is also inhabited by Indians. and
the industry is fish canneries oper-
ated by San Francisco people. 1t is

Along the Way - Success OF a Haz-

The ARGUS has received the follow.
ing from Capt. W. c. Knaack, of this
city. the first detailed information OF
one of the most hazardous trips ever
made to the Klondike region:

pecting to soon make a landing, either
at kadiak Island or Dutch Harbor.
will try and give you brief outline
OF our trip up till this time. We left
Seattle, Wash, May %, at 3 p. M,
our first stop being Port Townsend.
where we had to go through certain
custom house regulations. We left
there at noon the next day. We had
fine sailing and the scenery was
grand. Wednesday evening we made
a short stop at little Indian village
in Canadian territory by the name of
Bella Bella. 1t has 800 inhabitants.
consisting of three whites and the
balance Indians. We called at the
postoilice to mail few letters. 1t
resembled an old dilapdated wood
shed. Today we passed through the
first stretch of open ocean, called
Queen Charlotte sound. We had
some large rolling waves to encoun-
ter, which gave us an idea of what we
could expect when once in the open
ocean for good. Several of the bows
became seasick, but soon got over it.
Thursday was another lovely dav.
When night came we ran into a heavy
Jog. and as the channel WAS very mar
row, we laid up for the night at a
placed called Lower Inlet. mostly in
habited by Indians. The ssle indus
try at the place is salmon cannerv.
We left here early the next
morning. The scenery the next
two days was not so grand. as we
could barely see shore at times. Sun
day. the 29th, we got into the region
of glaciers and ice bergs, sight
which cannot be described. In fact,
the whole trip from Seattle to Cross
Sound. where we enter the ocean
proper. has the most beautiful seem
cry | ever saw anywhere, and it is
surprising that this great waterway
OF thousand miles is not more
known among eHcursionists. In nv
estimation it would beat trip to anv
foreign country during summer vaca-
ton. Sunday evening We put into a
harhOr nj Hoonah Mission to give orr
towlines and everything a general
overhauling before putting into sea.
This is also an Indian village, in
which we saw many curiosities, and |

fifteen minutes we were surrounded
by at least dozen or more canoes.

CHICAGO. Jan. 2-The snow storm OF
the worst in this city Tor years. Iho
greatest damage as well as inconvenience
was caused by the breaking down OF
telegraph and telephone wires. In this
respect the damage was widespread. ana
IN all parts OF the city poles and wires
were brought to the ground. The police
telephone system was badly crippled, ana
there was much trouble with the city
ire alarm system. The street car SER
vice. which last night was badly de-
layed and totally suspended on some Of
the lines. was in better running order to-
day. The companies. by keeping the
snow plows and sweepers going all night
managed to keep their lines open.
All the incoming trains on all the roads
were from one 10 four hours late. Station
masters Clthers. of the Union Depot,
said Saturday night was one of the worst
-ailroadng nights he had ever known.
on account Of breaking down of telegraph
wires they were totally at sea as To the
whereabouts Of the trains. The storm
was attended by curious electrical dis
plays in several sections OF the city. and
the atmosphere seemed TO De filled with
electricity. which evidently came from
the numerous trolley wires. Between
midnight and 3 o'clock in the morning
the night was peculiarly light.
The storm swept the western country
