THE FATE OF ANDREE.
REPORTED DEAD, BUT
RUMOR NOT YET CONFIRMED
IBY TELEGRAPH TO THE rRIBUNE.l


Winnipeg March 6-The story which has
come by tedious stages from the far Canadian
North to the ultimate fate of Andree has
been confirmed by letters received by the Hud-
Bay Company's head offices in Winnipeg.
The fact that Andree is dead is apparently
absolute certainty, as the official report was
sent in by Ashton Aston, the Hudson Bay fac
tor at Fort Churchill, the most northern port
of the great fur company, the western shores
of the bay.
From Mr.. Alston's dispatches it appears that
as the company and it's officers had been
quested by the Swedish Consul at London to
look out for traces of the aeronaut explorer, he
did so, and later reported that three years ago
an Esquimau hunter from the North arrived
at the fort and related the following story:
Beyond the barren lands in Northern Keewa-
tin he met band of wild Esquimaus. They ex-
hibited much curiosity at the Hudson Bay Com
pany's tobacco which the Southern EsquiInau
had with him. and told him where he could
get more. They said 1t came in big "oomyak'
(canoe) sailing in the air They said they had
seen the "oomiyak.' balloon, coming a long
way off. and that when it settled on the ice
three men alighted from it.
1t appears though that these natives, who had
never seen a white man before were alarmed at
the manner in which the strangers killed some
arctic deer with their guns, and the Esquimaus
who are adopts with the bow and arrow. i'm
mediately discharged a flight of bone darts on
their aerial visitors. killing all three. They then
rifed the 'oomiyak." in which they found guns
ammunition. domestic utensils and other
articles, some OF which they had with them and
which they showed TO the Southern Esquimaus.
He made attempt TO locate what must
have been the balloon. but failed, and on re-
turning 10 Fort Churchill informed Aston of
his adventure. The latter Immediately sent
him back to locate the band OF Arctic Esqui-
maus and find what remained of the balloon
The man absent for two years. and only
returned to Fort Churchill last summer with the
tale that his search had been fruitless. The
Arctic Esquimaus nomadic in their habits,
and II was impossible to get a trace of this
particular band
c. c. Chapman. the company's commissioner
at Winnipeg and chief executive officer in
Canada. said tonight that he had received re-
ports from Mr.. Aston containing substantially
the same facts. but that Of course he personally
could not vOuch for the absolute truth of all
the details. The Rev. c. N Chapman, the
Church of England missionary at Fort Churchill,
in a private letter received by the latest packet
from the Far North gives information contain
ing the same story.
