ing. We succeeded in getting around Cape Thompson, but were afraid the dogs and sled would break through the Ice, as It was very soft and full of holes.
 On November 30 we broke camp at a.. m., the wind blowing from the southeast and a wet, heavy snow beat ing us in the face. The Indians and dogs were soon almost exhausted.
 On December 1 we got under way early, but the ice was so full of ponds and lagoons that we travelled in about every point of the compass. About 2 o'clock that afternoon we reached small hillock and found it impossible to either get ahead or go back, as we were surrounded with water There was no fuel on this hillock and we were compelled to stay there three days liv- ing on canned meats and frozen fish that had been purchased for dog food
 The water fell away so that we were enabled to continue our trip on Decem- Der 5, making about fifteen miles, and on the 9th we reached Charles King berg's whaling station. We stayed at his place all night. We left the station on the 7th arriving at Cape Blossom on December 13 We made poor time. The ice was soft and the temperature too warm for the dogs to travel on. I had nine dogs left when we reached Cape Blossom
 MT. and Mrs. Samms gave me most cordial welcome, and Mrs. Samms' com- panion, a Miss Hannahcult, was also 1yin the cape. Mrs. Samms busted herself in cooking quantity of provisions for us During my stay at Mrs. Samms' I procured a sled and several dogs from the natives, and was now in a position to carry more food for both ourselves and our dogs. I also got enough fish for the dogs to last me to the Buck land River
 We left on the 18th and had good weather. Also made good time on the 18th. On the 20th we had another bIiz- gard, and remained in camp all day. We went about twenty miles on the Fist, and the next four days we aver aged over twenty miles, reaching the mouth of the Buckland River on Christmas night.
 There we camped and had our Christmas dinner, which consisted of pork and beans, fried frozen fish, fried bacon, fresh bread and tin of preserved California grapes. I had coffee for my use, the Indians pre- ferring tea. bartered that night with some natives for more dog feed.
 The next day we travelled up the Buckland River, making thirty miles, and then travelled over the DOT tage by compass in the direction which I thought would bring me to Edgituck River, leaving the Buckland at a. m. and reaching the Edgituck at 10 p. m., where we pitched our camp. My inten- tion on the 29th was to work along the Egituck and make Norton Sound, but found the snow very deep and the river so crooked that we made direct across the country, steering again by com pass and crossing the Egituck four times We reached Norton Sound that night at o'clock.
 Soon after starting on the morning of December 30 we ran across the

tracks of dog which came from the direction of Golivan Bay. We followed these tracks for three days, travelling as fast as we could and reached Una laklik on the evening of January l.. 1898.
 I was very warmly welcomed by MT. and Mrs. Karlson and Miss Johnson They have charge of the Swedish mis- sion. MT. Karlson informed me that he understood there was to be mail sent from St. Michael for the States January 5, so of course was very anxious to get there before it left.
 We left the mission early the next morning in a binding snowstorm, MT. Karlson lending me a native to act as runner and guide.
 On the Sd we started early and had travelled probably five miles when missed Tickeys wife. On making in- quiries as to her whereabouts I learned that she left her pipe at the mission and had gone back to get it.
 I felt rather vexed about the matter, but still did not lose any time. We kept on the ice, although it was rather rough, when we came to a headland where we found water and so were compelled to make our way over the mountain.
 After reaching the summit I looked back to see if Tickey's wife was com ing, when I saw two men running toward me. waving their hats and coats. I waited to see what they wanted my impression being that some accident had happened to Hickey s wife.
 The men reached me at last and to my great surprise informed me that Lieutenant Jarvis and Dr. Call of the Bear had crossed on the noun tains above me and requested me to turn back to meet them.
 I went back on foot and after walk ing a couple of miles saw Lieutenant Jarvis and Dr. Call walking toward me- I walked back with the officers to get a good camping place, so that we could have a consultation relative to the

in getting my sled and camp utensils, also my dogs, to Point Hope. My two natives were suffering too much from frost bite and were too feeble to be of any assistance.
 l reached my old camp that after noon, and found all the dogs except ing one. We slept in the snow house and started back to the point the next morning. Found in packing that the tent was blown to tatters, the ridge pole broken and the stove badly smash ed. l was obliged to ride all the way in, as my frozen toe pained me intense ly. On our road back we found the body of the lost dog. It had been blown off the bluff, falling on the ice below an almost perpendicular height of fifty feet.
 MT. Brewer had given me letters of introduction to Captain Nelson, the su- perintendent of Leibes' Point Hope whaling station, and I kept on to this place, which is about three miles south of Anderson's.
 AS the natives I had from Point Bar row would now leave me Captain Nell son advised me to take Hickey and Cannuanwar, man and wife. They were both good runners and he assured me they would prove faithful to me. My tent was repaired, new skin clothing and boots made for both the natives and myself, new stove and plenty of provisions given me and Captain Nell son got three good dogs for me from the natives. I stayed with Captain Nell son for nine days, as my foot gave me a great deal of trouble. I left finally on the morning of the 29th of Novem- Der.
 E I travelled that day as far as Captain Peter Bayne's station. He was very kind to me and stopped with him that night, sending Hickey back for some little things I had forgotten at Point Hope.
 The next morning I found that one of my dogs had run away, so Captain Bayne let me have one of his to re- place 1t. We made about twelve miles that day, 1t being pretty hard travel.

A HAPPY MOTHER.
After Many Long Years She Hears From
Her son.

Missoula, Aug. 10.-There is one WON
an in Missoula to-day. who Is probably
the happiest of her kind in Montana.
and she has "A right to be happy. This
woman was married, when quite young,
i'm The east. IL was in 1873 that the cere-
mOny was performed, and for five years
her life was "A happy one. In 1873 "A son
was born to her and 1t seemed that her
happiness was complete. but, by one Of
those sad conditions that sometimes
arise, the husband and father became
alienated from his young wife and child
and his treatment of them became such
that it was but a short time before
"A divorce was granted to the wife, who
was allowed the custody Of the boy.
But "A little while after the divorce was
granted. the father kidnapped the boy
from the home of the mother in Rock
ford, H.. and from that day till this
the mother has never seen her son.
Much time has been spent In the en-
deaVOr To locate him in vain until within
n few months. Then she learned that
the boy was living with his father and
grandparents in a little town I'm New
York. How to get word to him was a
problem, u the mother finally wrote
"A letter which she inClOscd in a note TO
the postmaster, asking him to deliver il
To the boy and to no one else. Then
came days of anxious supense, which
were not relieved by the reply OF the
postmaster, who wrote that the family
had left that town eight years before.
His heart. however, had evidently been
touched by the appeal of the mother.
and he stated that he a found where
the people were then living and offered
at forward her letter to the postmaster
there.
This kind offer was eagerly accepted
and again came days of anxiety and
worry. There was the possibility Of
hearing from her boy. now a young
man. Again. IL was possible that there
would be no reply. The address given
might have been wrong, or the young
mar might have been ]alienated from
his mother. There were so many pos
sihle coniectures that the poor woman
was nue. worried. Yet, even TO learn
hat the son was alive and wen would
be better than not to hear at all. and
So the letter was watched for with eag-
erness. And last night it came. 1t was
a strong. manly letter that brought
much joy and gladncss to the heart of
the mother. and she looks to-day like
a girl, the light OF her happiness shines
SO brightly i'm her face. The letter con-
tanned the information that the young
nan nov in his 2ist year. is at Nashua,
n. H., and is studying To fit himself for
the practice of medicine. The friends
of the mother rejoice with her in her
new found happiness.

air and there was drink for their stom-
achs. And they ate and drank thereof.
even of the feast that Ed had spread
for them.
And they found it even as Jerome had
said unto them. There was much rest
n great comfort. And the rest Of
Joebradley was as OF one dead. For his
sleep was great.
And. behold. there came after joe
bradley and the Pilgrim. out of the city
that is mid I'm the mountains, Har-
ryallen and he was glad with them.
And there was much rejoicing in the
camp. even In the camp Of the Hilarity-
ties. that is builded upon Fish creek,
even in the forks thereof. And the
night came.
Then builded they the royal camp
fire. even Morrow, who is called the
chaser. and Davenport, the chaperon.
And IL was "A fire To tell your folks
about.
And. 10. as they builded the fire, even
Morrow and Davenport, came Jerome
and he was Of goodly appearance. For
il came to pass that, as the fire was
builded. Jerome had made unto himself.
even in the camp that Is builded i'm the
forest. "A punch that is the nectar Of the
Hilarityites. even that they call IL Hi
larity punch. And, behold, 1t was well
named.
Then sat they about the fire n were
glad. The flames assembled, even into
the tops OF the trees, and the punch as
cended. I'VE into the heads Of the HI
larltyites and of Joebradley and Of the
Pilgrim and Of H%arryalIon.
But IL made them not drunk 1t was
the punch of jerome and brought good
cheer. And they sang songs and then
related they the history Of their cities,
even of the two that are builded upon
the river and in the mountains. And
they were glad.
And they found much rest and great
comfort. And the fish in the streams
were theirs. And the fowls of the air
and the beasts Of the WOOD were theirs.
And they dwelt long there and found
much joy.
