He Did Not Recognise Whey.

The special correspondent of we'll
known trades paper furnished q most
satisfactory laugh awhile ago for a
friend of his who lives up in northern
New York state, and he does not know
1T yet. He had gone up the state to visit
some mill or other, and the before men
toned friend volunteered to drive him
over to his destination. Now, while the
special correspondent has a wonderfully
general fund of information he knows
little about the country, and when they
were passing large cheese factory he
exclaimed: why, there's a creamery
Just wait minute while 1 go in and
get drink of buttermilk'
With this he jumped out of the car
rage and entered the building MY
country friend says that whey is not
pleasant to take and that even the pigs
won't eat it. Bat when the special cor
respondent asked for buttermilk the
people in the factory gave him big
glass of thin, aciduous liquid, which he
swallowed down at draft. The drive
was then continued. The special CORE
spondent seemed to be very thoughtful
He finally exclaimed in his explosive
fashion:
"Wen, Smith, don't know what
breed OF COWS you raise up here, but
that was the dan ndest buttcrmilik ever

His Story Too Local.

A teetotal lecturer at West Bromwich,
in order to illustrate the horrors of
drinking, told his audience a story of a
wooden legged topper who was SO drunk
one night that he took off his wooden
leg to wind the clock. The story was
told in all simplicity by the lecturer
as he had heard it i'll his childhood.
Strange to say, it applied exactly to the
husband OF lazy WHO happened to be-
one of the audience After the lecture
the lady waited on the lecturer behind
the hall.
Wretch" she said. "How dare You
hold my husband to public ridicule?'
But, my dear madam
Nov don deny it, for heard you. "
Scratch, scratch scratch! That lectur.
er is now undergoing repairs. He will

ToboP-Saning In 1903.

1t is interesting to note in Smollett's
"Travels Through France and Italy"
that when the novelist was making an
excursion i'll March, 1865, from Nice
across the Maritime Alps to Turin he
descended the Piedmontese slope of the
Col di Tenda toward Cuneo on g tobog-
gan.
Having reached the top of tho noun
tain," he tells us in letter 80, Eve
prepared for descending on the other
side by the leZe, which is an occasional
sledge made of two pieces of wood, car
rled up by the coulants (local guides)
for the purpose. l did not much relish
this kind of carriage, especially as the
mountain was very steep and covered
with such thick fog that we could
hardly see two or three yards before us.
Nevertheless our guides were so conf
dent and my companion, who had pass

ting before me as the conductor with
his feet padding i'll the snow, in
order to moderate the velocity of it's
descent. Thus accommodated, we de-
scended the mountain with such rapid
ty that in an hour we reached Limon.
Here we waited two full hours for the
mules which travelled with the servants
by the common road"
This is simply tobogganing used as a
practical means of transit for travellers

During the Battle of Santiago.
A Rush Night and Day,
SICK OR WELL--PACKER
At the Battle of Santiago Were
All Heroes.
Their Heroic Efforts in Getting Ann
munition and RatiOns TO the Front
Saved the Day.

P. E. Butler, of pack,train No. ;,
writing from Santiago de Cuba, on
July Esd, says: eve all had diar-
rhoea in more or less violent form,
and when we landed we had no
time to see a doctor, for it was a
case of rush night and day to keep
the troops supplied with ammuni-
ton and rations, Int thanks to
Chamberlaiu's Collie, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy, we were able
TO keep at work and keep our
health; in fact, l sincerely believe
that at one critical time this medi-
cine was the indirect saviour Of our
army, for if the packers had been
unable to work there would have
been no way of getting to the front.
There were no roads that a wagon
train could use. Ny comrade and
myself had the good fortune to lay
in a supply Of this medicine for our
pack train before we left Tampa,
and know in four cases it abso-
lutely saved life"

succession of gales and were in the same storm that wrecked the ship Sa- maria and the schooner General Sig lon.
 We succeeded in catching one bow head whale, the bone of which we shipped to San Francisco on the schooner Sailor Boy, which was re- ceiving freight from the whale ships at Port Clarence.
 In July we returned to UnaIaska to get sufficient coal to last the balance of the voyage, and then went back to the Arctic Ocean. We had fair weather up to the Sth of September last On that date we were in young ice, about three miles to the eastward of Point Barrow. Close to us lay the steam whaler Orca, Captain A. c. Sherman; the steamer Jessie H. Freeman, Cap tain Humphreys. and the schooner Ro- sario, Captain Edwin Coffin. Previous to this date the schooner Rosario lay In such dangerous position that the steamer Orca steamed over to her and lowed her to safer anchorage, thereby saving the officers, crew and vessel
 On the evening of September a na- tive boarded us, bringing with him a message from the whaleships over to the eastward, and requesting us to cache on the shore all the provisions We could spare and then work south as quickly as possible to place of safety, where they could join us and go with us to San Francisco.
 Early on the morning of the 9th the masters of the four ships held a con- fn hn Qf of -nrlx ing our way out. The young ice was making fast. and there was also heavy ridge of ice along the coast,

diately signaled our ship, as agreed upon, receiving their signals in return, and then went to work to get the pro- visions MT. Walker had saved on the ice. I found the ship nearly full of water, and to get the provisions we had to fish for them with long-han- died bow hooks. We got thirty two sacks of four and twenty cases of canned meats. and some other material, on the ice. Both the ship and ice were been kept up by the ice pressing against her sides.
 I was coming to the rail with a case of meat, when felt peculiar motion. I threw the case on the ice as far as could and jumped. The ship careened slowly over on her side and at the same time gradually slid under the ice Hoe until she com pletely disappeared.
 We had not been on the ship three hours when she sank. We then com menced sledding the provisions we had saved to the south sandpit of the Sea Horse Islands, which was about three miles to the westward. We were two days in getting these provisions to the beach, making our camp on the beach, our tent being made of boat sails.
 The water was cold the thermometer registering from to 8 degrees below zero In the meantime the Belvedere had been worked through the ice and was placed in as good a place as could be found behind the Sea Horse Isl- ands, and about fifteen miles from our camp. Some Indians who had been out hunting polar bear passed b our camp and told us that we could get dogs and sleds from Point Belcher to help take the material saved to our ship. We went with these natives and they brought over two teams of five and six dogs each, and on the sixth da- all the food saved was put on the Belvedere, the sleds making one round trip each day with small loads.
 The natives wanted provisions for their work, but we could not spare any, and paid them in drilling, needles, thread and similar articles. I was ab- sent from the ship on this trip nine days.
 Or October 3 Captains Willard, Humphreys and Sherman had another consultation and called for volunteers to go to Point Barrow and inform Mr. Charles Brewer, superintendent of the

now to get out, so we worked with the ice toward the main land and succeeded in getting into Pearl Bay, the heavy ice grounding outside.
 Our crew at this time numbered forty five men, and we had rescued fifty-three men from the Orca and forty mine men from the Freeman. We knew that the best place to camp would be on the Sea Horse Isl snds, and if we could get the ship f.Ahind the islands we would have q chance to save her. On the twenty-third some of the men commenced sledding provisions over to the islands, distance of three miles, others emptied water out of the casks to tighten ship, the bulkheads were torn down for the purpose of making houses on shore, the black smith commenced making cookstoves from the coal oil drums, and others set to work cutting a canal.
 MT. Walker volunteered to go back to the Orca with a couple of natives and save all the provisions he could, and said he would signal to us his safe arrival.
 That afternoon we saw smoke from the Freeman, and at night she lit up the sky. She burned to the waters edge.
 We afterward learned that some na- tives had boarded her, got into her hold and had dropped lighted lamp, setting fire to the ship.
 On the 18th of September, not having seen any signals from the Orca, I vol unteered to go to her, to save what provisions I could and learn the fate of Mr. Walker and his two natives took with me four natives I was instructed to loose the gaff top sails and set the main royal should we succeed in reaching her, and if Mr Walker was safe to run the flying jib up and down a few times. They would answer by the same signals.
 The Orca was lying fully twelve miles from us. The ice between the two ships was in very poor condition. It was full of holes, and the pressure of the heavy ice would make large cracks in the new ice, sometimes right under our feet, causing us at times to move very lively After six hours hard work we reached the ship and boarded her. We found Mr. Walker and his two natives hard at work. We imme-

through which we would have to blow out a canal. The engine force of the three steamers was immediately put to work making cartridges, weighing five pounds each, of the blasting and gun powder on our ships, and the tonite powder was taken out of the darting and shoulder bombs and also made into cartridges. These cartridges were placed on the ends of long poles, showed under the ice and exploded. MT. Wal ker of the Orca and myself had charge of exploding the bombs.
 The distance we had to blow out was about one mile and a half and we used over a thousand pounds of powder and tonite in the work.
 The balance of the crews were busy in saving and polling the ice out of, the way. Young ice was making all the time, and the steamers had all they
The San Francisco call., 1898-04-09

could do with both steam and sail to work their way through the canal. The schooner Rosario did not attempt to come through the canal, as Captain Coffin hoped the ice would open enough to permit him to get into the lagoon near Point Barrow, where she would be safe. We afterward learned that she had failed to get into the lagoon.
 In forcing through the ice the Orca broke the three rudder pintels, making her manageable, so she was taken in tow by the Freeman and lowed through the balance of the distance.
 To make this canal took all hands three days and nights, stopping only fof meals. The ships got out of the canal on September 14.
 The Jessie H. Freeman and the Belve- dere lay by the Orca until she had re- paired her rudder, and when that was finished all steamed toward the south, the ice getting heavier all the time. We arrived off the Sea Horse Islands on the 22d day of September, distance of forty-five miles from Point Barrow.
 On this date the Orca, while fol- lowing us, was caught between two immense ice foes and crushed with such force as to take the stern post and steering gear completely out of her and hurl the wheel through the pilot house. Her officers and crew jumped for the ice immediately.
 At this time our ship was near clear water, but seeing the predicament of

the Orca's crew we turned back, work ing through the ice, to save them. We finally succeeded in getting all the men on board our ship and steered toward clear water again, the Jessie H. Free man being at this time about three miles to the northward.
 We were forcing our way along, when, about two hours after rescu- ing the Orca's crew, we saw the Free man in the same predicament as the Orca, and her crew jumping on the ice, so we turned back again to save these men.
 The wind was now blowing heavily from the westward, forcing the old ice against the young ice and shelv- ing it, making it impossible for us

PORTLAND, Or, April S.-The whal- inG steamer Belvedere, M. B. V. Mill lard master, left San Francisco on the 7th day of March, 1897, and I was shipped on her in the capacity of third mate.
 We had either stormy weather or gales all the way up, and during one gale a sea swept her decks. carrying away two of our whaleboats and the Jibboom.
 The same sea washed one of the men around the deck so violently that he died from the injuries he 1e- ceived, and we buried him in Una laska, into which port we put in to make repairs.
