WINTER AMONG IcEsEeos.



Arc Not Unpleasant
James Poole, formerly a Portland
real estate man, has returned from the
North, after two years absence,
portion of which time he was locked
in the ice on the shores of Kotzebue
on board the schooner General Nc
Pherson. Mr.. Poole's venture in the
north has not proved profitable one,
as he left Nome ten days before the
gold-beach excitement broke out. and
has not found 1t convenient to return
to that point, while Kotzebue he
says, has proved deluslon and
snare. About 800 adventures wlntered
at Kotzebue after the rush thither.
but the place is now deserted, except
by few hundred Eskimos, whose reg
ular winter quarters are in the shell
tered hooks near by. He says the re-
port of Kotzebue's rich digglngs arose

evidently had been picked up on the
shores of Nome, to the southwark
some 500 miles. He said the sensa-
ton of being inclosed by icebergs dur
ing a long arctic winter was not so
unpleasant as one might imagine, as
the days are seldom less than six hours
long, and access to tbs shore is usually
easy. The General McPherson's decks

Further out toward the Arctic ocean
the great walls Of ice took the ap-
pearance of windows, as the motion
of the waves piled them up In parallel
lines. When the break up comes in
the spring the real danger to shipping
is being carried out by the floating
islands Of ice, to be crushed perhaps
between great masses in motion.
From his acquaintance with the Eslu-
mos of that region, Mr.. Poole judges
them to be of Chinese or Japanese
origin, there being strong resem-
blance in appearance, build, and lam
guage. They are peaceable and hon
est, and quite willing to act as guides
for the whites, who employed them to
considerable extent while prospect
ing along the banks OF the streams
