FIVE YEARS IN THE ICE.
Finding of a Norwegian Sailors
Frozen Body in the Behring Sea
Lost That Length of Time.

Had Ole Sjostron's tomb of ice on an
arctic island in the Behring sea re-
manned undisturbed hundred thousand
years, at the end of that ponderouS
stretch of time the face and form of Ole
would have looked as natural and life
like as at the moment of the fisher
mans death, says San Francisco cor
respondence of the Chicago American.
Five years ago this young Norwegian,
Sjostron, disappeared from Baranoff
station. Nobody knew what became of
him, and finally people ceased to Won
der. A few weeks ago the body was
found completely imbedded in the ice
and so thoroughly preserved that not
even the slightest indication of change
had set in.
The barkentine City of Papette had
arrived from Baranoff, and the news of
this remarkable discovery was brought
by her first mate, Knute Peterson.
Five years in the ice,'' said Peterson,
"has not made a bit of difference in
his appearance. When they found him
he looked as though asleep, but sure
enough he was cold in death-even
more so than the ordinary dead man.
They suppose that he lay down on the
glacier while intoxicated and fell
asleep, and that after he had frozen
to death the ice formed over him.
Strange as this story may seem, the
incident is not strange to those who
know the arctic ice fields. Bodies Of the
mammoth, the Elephas Primigenus of
an ancient epoch, have been found SINH
larly imbedded in the ice and so well
| refrigerated that after a lapse of time
which is regarded as not less than TO-
900 years, possibly a very modest esti-
mate, even the flesh Of the animal was
all there.
The sailors information about the
finding of Sjostron's body is meager, but
it is presumable that instead Of being
| caught and imprisoned in the glacial ice
the fisherman died on the soft soil of
the tundra, and that his body became
covered up and frozen with it.
Alexander Torson, formerly third
| mate of the City of Papette. disappeared
at Baranoff early this year. and his old
associates think that he. like Sjostron,
met death on glacier and that his body
| is held unchanged and unchanging in the
| ice, probably to astonish discoveries in
some far later century
