CHAPTER 8.
THE HUNTING SEASON.

After an interval of cold rains and
raw weather at the salt lick camp the
skies cleared and the glorious Indian
summer succeeded. The shriveling
leaves began to carpet the forest and
the great trees were covered with a
thin veil of autumn haze. At the
close of day the sun sank with a warm,
voluptuous beauty and in the morn
ing it arose from sea of glowing
mist. The air seemed warm and yet
the camp fire was comfortable and the
campers preferred to sleep within
their covered lodges. The buffalo
herd having Unexpectedly increased
the store of hides to the full CARRYING
capacity of the party, Tullihas deter
mined to send all the able bodied men
to take the packs to point ON the
headwaters of the st. Mary's and
there leave them to be picked up at
| the end of winter, the bearers return
ing to resume the hunt. AS the loads
were very heavy their progress was
slow and nine or ten days were con-
sumed in the round trip. Having no
time to hunt resort was had to a mea-
ger supply of dried corn and jerked
meat carried along for subsistence,
which change of diet was far from be-
ing comfortable, though it was eked
out with haws and hickory nuts and
one wild turkey that was imprudently
dilatory in its attempted escape from
a club. The Indian whose life An
gus had saved took special care to as
sist him with his burden and get him
an ample supply of rations.
The skins being deposited and
secured from the weather the carriers
returned to the camp and council
was held to discuss the future move
ments of the party, of which the con-
clusion was to move over into the
hunting grounds of the Miamis and
establish a winter camp on the ST.
Mary's river at or near the place
where the skins had just been stored.
The biting winds were already
whistling and bowling amid the naked
gray branches and some snow had
fallen on the crisp dead leaves under
the trees. The time was at hand
when the shelter of the frail temper
airy lodges would be insufficient
against the bleak, cherries and snow
choked winter and the experience of
these children of the forest told them
there would be days of furnishing as
well as days of repletion, though
even with the recollection Of former
sufferings they were not apt to be as
provident as they might have been.
Proceeding leisurely westward, then,
as before, they one day pitched their
camp on the margin of little hill
bound lake not far from the source
Of the Scioto river. A storm was
rising and haste was made to erect
their rude shelter of bark-sheathed
poles and gather little store of dry
fuel. Angus, carrying his gun, as be
was allowed to do regularly since his
exploit with the mad buffalo, went up

THE LENNON ADRlFT IN PACIFIC
WATERS WITH SOLDIERS
FROM MANILA,
With Broken Shaft and Shortage OF
Provisions the Ship rIOdtcd Helpless
~ for Week. Government Tug from
San francisco Sent 10 the Rescue.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Aug,
3 Seven men of the disabled
transport Lennox, bound from
Manila to this port, who were
picked up in O. small boat off
Piedras Blancas lighthouse and
brought to this city by the
steamer George LOOMS, tell a
story of a broken shaft. dearth
of provisions, and the drifting of
the helpless ship in the current
that sets down the coast. The
men are Third Mate j Spratt,
j. Lee, Frank West, P. T. Flah-
erty and James P. Scanlon, ex-
sailors and men-of- men;
David Rankin, of New Jersy, a
government clerk returning from
Manila, and F. L. Rose, a re-
porter, formerly connected with
the Manila Freedom.
They constitute volunteer
crew that put off from the trans
port in search of assistance. On
the Lennox are seventeen cabin
and forty five second class pass
engers, nearly all of whom are
discharged sailors and soldiers,
and English officers and a Chin
csc crew of about thirty men.
There are no women on board.
One of the crew said: 1.-The
Lennox left Manila on June 81
and Nagasaki on July 5. Sud-
denly. on the evening of July %,
the shaft broke within three feet
of the propeller. For nearly a
week we looked in vain for as
sistance, meanwhile drifting to
the southwark and in toward the
coast.
What made it really serious
was the shortage of provisions.
Captain Williamson asked the
4 Chinese crew to man small
boat and attempt to reach the
coast. The Chinese refused, and
the chief officer came to us sail
ors and asked for a volunteer
crew. Twenty minutes later
we were off in a boat. The boat
was rugged with sail, but there
was no wind, and until we were
picked up by the Loomis, twelve
hours later, we were at the oars,
and had come within sight of
Piedras Blancas lighthouse"
1t is expected that the govern
ment tug Slocum, which was sent
in search of the Lennox, will find
the transport. She was eighteen
miles south of this city and forty
miles at sea when the small boat
left her.
The Lennox is a chartered
transport. She was returning to
San Francisco in order to be
turned over to her owners.

found untouched. A suitable spot
was selected for the winter cabin and
the work of construction began with
out delay. They cut small logs about
fifteen feet in length and with them
raised the two side walls of the house
about four feet high, holding each
wall in its place by setting posts in
the ground at the ends and tying
them together at the top with bark
withes. The side walls were about
twelve feet apart. At the middle of
each end of the cabin they drove a
forked pole and lay another pole in
the forks, perhaps ten feet above the
ground, for ridge pole, against
which they placed the small poles ex
tending from the tops of the side
walls, all securely fastened with strips
of bark, and thus they had their
rafters. They spread upon the raft
ers the flag mats the squaws had made
from time to time in the temporary
camps and over all they fastened
broad sheets of lynn bark, enclosing
the lodge with logs and poles at each
end and completing it by stuff1ng
leaves, moss and small pieces Of bark
in the creyices. At each end was
an opening left in the door, over
which they hung mats, and in the
roof near each end was an opening in
lieu of chimney. In the interior

corner to corner, the solemn-looking
police guard, the pacing soldiers, and,
above all, the quietness Of the assem-
bled multitude, bore witness to the
solemnity of the occasion.
At intervals carriage would drive
up and then the newspaper men would
move toward it. The Milburn house
was hardly discernible among the
trees, the lights in the house having
been dimmed, but ut u few minutes
intervals there would come out some

and then the eager crowd would sur
round him. But from the time that
Secretary Cortelyou told them that
the President was very weak there
was nothing to encourage the belief
that there could be recovery.

BOWED DOWN.
People Of Canton Are Grief.
Stricken.

Canton, o., Sept. 14-Never in the
city of Canton have all the people
been SO bowed down with grief as
they are today and as they were last
night, as they awaited the final mes
sage from Buffalo announcing that
the spirit of their beloved townsman
had winged its fight.
Far more depressed were the peo-
pie of Canton than they were a week
ago. Then they found comfort and
solace in the news holding out fair
prospect of recovery. Last night there
was no word in the dispatches to en-
courage even the most sanguine. The
blow came especially hard nfter Il
week Of buoyancy. Every citizen Of
Canton confidently expected to see the
President in the city soon again.
Dismal tidings came Friday, but
were largely dispelled by the 2:30
o'clock bulletins of the afternoon,
which was not corrected by Secretary
Cortelyou until after the regular is
sues of the newspapers. Extras, how
ever, soon spread the alarming change,
and seemingly the whole population
turned out ell masse. Bulletin boards

broken for conversation. The news
was read in silence by men and wo-
men, with tears trickling down their
cheeks. This was the condition when
evening meals were over. 1t was
practically unchanged at midnight.
The nearest relatives were in Buf
falo. Mrs. Barber and her son left
for there Friday morning, and reach

the sudden collapse of the President
was announced. The ill news of the
early day had been somewhat softened
by the later announcement that there
was slight improvement, and the
sudden announcement of his approach
ing dissolution came as great sur
prise. At the Pan-American grounds
1t was announced that he was dead,
and n majority of the crowd turned
toward the city. In the city itself the
papers made 1t understood that there
was no hope.
When the crowd learned that the

for definite news, they had dispersed

came with the President still battling
with death.
At midnight the MiIburn house was
quiet. A solemn hush hung over the
house. The entire lower part of the
residence was aglow with lights, and
many attendants and relatives could be
seen moving about within, and occa
sionally coming to the front door for
a breath of air. In the upper front
chambers the lights were low, and
around on the north side, where the
chamber of death is located, there
were lights burning brightly OF turn
