BOOBIES" OF FERNANDO Po.

Lieutenant Alexander Tells of Curious
People of Western Africa.
London, Feb. 12-Lieutenant Boyd
Alexander, who has just returned from
the island of Fernando Pc, in the Blight
of Biafra, western Africa, gives an
interesting description of the curious
Inhabitants Of the practically previous
ly unexplored interior of the island.
These are known as boobies" Few
Of them have ever seen a white man
and they never leave their primitive
dwellings in the rocks except on or
ganized drinking bouts. The race is
fast dying out from the effect Of rum
and palm wine. The natives are
mostly naked except for a curious
straw bonnet. They paint their bod
les with colored mud, are unspeaka-
bly, filthy, for they never wash but
occasionally use a knife to scrape off
the surface dirt and create artificial
deformities by tightly wrapping their
limbs. The Fernando Pc natives are
exceedingly timid and when sighted
by the whites they bolt into the
depths of the jungle, where they set
up fearsome walls At certain hours
each day the villages are deserted,
every one, including the children, go
ing off on carousal.
The lieutenant adds that although
he searched for them diligently he
could find no trace of the burial places
OF the natives of the island

Terrible Plight of Fishermen
In the Arctic.
STARVATION coNFRoNTs THEM.

Revenue Cutter Seminole Has Been
Dispatched From Boston In Hope of
Penetrating the Ice Field and Res.
cuinq the imprisoned Crews.
Channel, N. F., Feb. 12-The reve-
nue. cutter Seminole from Boston, has
arrived safely at Port Bosque, after
a terrible battle lasting 18 hours with
heavy arctic ice.
Locked Fast In Ice Field.
The Sminole is now 100 miles from
the imprisoned fishermen in the bay
of islands. Between this point and
where a dozen or more schooners,
some American, are held fast in the
frozen sea, still heavier ice must be
encountered before the Seminole can
succeed in reaching her destination.
Canadians Give Up Hope
The Canadians who for more than a
month have endeavOred in vain to
penetrate the ice field, have given up
hope of reaching their countrymen in
the bay of islands. They think it i'm
possible for the Seminole to force her
way through the pack of ice, but the
Americans will make the effort after
coal and more provisions are added to
the revenue cutters stores.
Grave Fears For Mems Safety.
No word has been heard from the
fishermen since one of the fleet, which
escaped the ice, stopped at this port
and reported the plight of the others.
It is believed the men on the iIl-fated
ships are in danger of starvation and
grave fears are entertained that many
have succumbed to the cold. The
Seminole carries an extra supply of
clothing, blankets and medicines. She
will attempt to break up the ice about
the fleet, but if unable to do this, will
try to get near enough to the vessels
to remove the crews.
