Noah'a Ark.

Noah's ark, which was shipwreck-
ed by running aground on the peak
of Mt. Ararat about deuteronomy,
or perhaps a little later in the year
Six" has recently been discovered
near the Arctic Circle, stuck fast in
aniceberg. This is the report brought
to Seattle by w. A. Reid, secretary
of the Y. M. C.. A. of Skagway,
Alaska. Mr.. Reid says the Indians
report that they have recently
discovered the petrifed hull of an
immense vessel, 1000 feet long, on
Porcupine River, north of Rampant,
near the Arctic Circle. The Indians,
who are familiar with the Bible
narrative, are certain this is the ark
abandoned by Noah when he had no
further use for it. The old hulk
slipped down from Ararat and be-
came derelict, finally drifting into
the Arctic and getting stuck fast n
an iceberg. Reid will return to
Alaska to verify the report of these
Indians. He will take the Indians
to show him the find, and will ask
the government to detail a squad of
soldiers TO accompany him on the
expedition in search of the vessel.
If he finds it he will probably bring
it to the states and exhibit it.
