WiIds.
Terrible Story Told BY
a Surviving
Comrade.

NEW YORK, March 23.-The first au-
thentic information of the death of
Leonidas Hubbard Jr.. the magazine
writer who starved to death in the in
terror of Labrador in October last. was
received in this city today.
The letter is most graphic in its de-
tails of the hardships endured by the
Hubbard party. It came to Miss a
D. Wallace from her brother, Dillon
Wallace, Mr.. Hubbard's sole white
companion. 1t was written on the
Northwest river post from which point
Mr.. Wallace sent the kilograms which
arrived on January 18th last This let
ter was sent out by the courier who
brought the kilograms to Chateau bay.
It had been travelling for over two
months by dog sledge and courier, ar
irving at Quebec Tuesday last and
New York City today.
The letter was postmarked Cart
wright. Labrador. December 31st; Bat
tie Harbor. Labrador, January I'd;
Blanc sabIon, January 21st; Natashou-
an, Quebec, FEBRUARY 11th:. Esqui-
maux Point, Quebec. February 14th;
Bersinus. Quebec, March. 10. and Que
bee City. March 22d. The letter was
opeaed in transit at both ends. but no
explanation was made by the Canadian
postal authorities as to the reason.
Alonzo G. Mclaughlin of So William
street. Mr.. walIace's law associate,
also received a letter telling of Mr..
waliaee's plans for the future
Toward the close of the letter Mr..
Wallace speaks of his plans for return
ing to New York. He is somewhat in
doubt as 10 what route he win take,
the 1.2Oe-mile sledge. journey seeming
like an impossible barrier. He was not
aware at the time that relief expedi-
ton had been sent out from Chateau
Bay early in February. This expedition
has probably reached him by this time
and he is no doubt well ON his way to
Chateau Bay in good hands.
The letter to Miss Wallace is given
here in detail:

Delicate people had better not battle

The temperature of water for cold
bath should range from 81 to 10 de

If you are chilly and cold bath

for you to take.
Dry the body quickly, using dry
