figure in the boat-a figure that caused
his pulses to throb wildly, the figure of
girl Would she, could she. do it In
time? He was standing now on the
very tips of his toes, and even then an
occasional wave, higher than the rest,
would wash into his nostrils, and give
him a foretaste of what was to come.
Nearer and nearer came the boat, and
higher rose the water Could he hold
out? The strain was awful.
"Whatever can have come to those

heightened, and still no VIII appeared.
Throwing a shawl around her, she
strolled out into the evening, and look
ed away over the sea. She could not
make out the mast of the wreck In the
falling light, but something bobbing
about at the foot of the cliff arrested
her attention.
"It looks like a boatr' she gasped,
with sudden foreboding. And In an In
slant she was speeding down the path.
A moment more and she had reached
the shore, and there, not twenty yards
away, she recognized Jem Barclays s
boat-empty; and something of the
truth flashed upon her.
"Merelful heavenp she moaned. 'The
boat has got adrift and left them or the

There was no time to run to the vii
lage for help. What had to be done
must be done quickly. With fervent
prayer the brave girl dashed Into the
water, clambered over the side, I'M
shipped the oars, and In another minute
the bow was once more turned sea
ward and the little boat was speeding
to the rescue.
AT last, after a lifetime of doubts
and fears, she turned and saw the
sunken mast standing out in bold con
trast to the silvery pathway caused by
the rising moon; and at the base, on
the surface Of the water, there was
something else something round and

Tortnne In cold Dust.

There came to Skagway the other
day II boxes of gold dust, each weigh
ing nearly 400 pounds, and the whole
valued at $3.50, 900. The gold dust was
brought out by the Flyer Line Steam
boat Company for the Canadian Bank
of Commerce, and on its arrival there
was taken to the Brannick hotel and
deposited in the downstairs front room,
in which bed was laid for the guards,
II. L. Rudd and G.. H. Burns, who
have lived with it ever since it left
Dawson. Rudd and Burns were for
merly mounted Policemen and went in
with Major Walsh in 1897, when Rudd
remained in this town for nearly year.
These men say this is certainly the
largest shipment of dust that ever came
out this way, and they believe it is the
largest single shipment that ever left
Dawson.

Favorable Report From Head Waters OF
the Big Horn-G1owing Reports
From the Porcupine.

Herman Olson has returned to skag-
way from the headwaters of the Big
Horn river, which empties into Taku
Arm opposite the Golden Gate. He
found foot or IA inches of snow at
Ptarmigan pass on his return, and a
week ago there was even more of it in
the Big Horn mountains. While the
snow was too deep for Olson to reach
the highest point desired, he was for
tunate enough to find another copper
and gold ledge, which is from % to 90
feet in width, and carries ore which
looks remarkably similar to the wond-
erful rock taken from the famous En-
gineer's group on Taku Arm. Olson
staked four claims for his principals on
this ledge.
