THE NORTHWEST PASSAGE.
Captain Of Jeannette Says It Is FEAST
bic and Literally Alive With
Whales.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 2s.-Captain
Newth OF the whaling steamer Jean
netie, who has arrived from the Arc
tic reports that he reached Crozier
channel latitude 713O. longitude 12O
west. No other American vessel has
ever made Crozier channel, but 50 years
ego Captain Newth says three English
vessels wintered at Mercy bay, Banks
land. The channel closed up, however,
and the Englishmen were forced to
abandon their vessels.
1t is very exceptional year when
the channels are free from ice foes, as
Captain Newth found them so, and he
says that if he had had two years pro-
visions with him he could have made
the trip through the northwest passage
to Baffin's bay. Captain Newth says
that Melville sound would prove the
richest field for whales If the current
was not so strong. AS 1t is, vessels Of
light power cannot stand the strain.
Whales follow the feed wherever the
current carries It, and the Jeanette
crew saw hundreds Of them feeding in
Melville sound.

road are captured the soldiers have to
scatter up and down the track and go

The insurgents bury the rails Ave or

Americans located the rails by sound

the expedient of putting layer Of ties
over the rails. To replace the burned
ties, the quarrermaster's department
was forced tc use planks, two boards
