at meeting of the revolutionary So

The meeting was decidly dramatic.
One minute the audience would be

the next moment aroused to the high
est pitch of fury.
One of the speakers seemed to ex-
press the sentiment of the audience
when he eclared:

ment agents are seeing to it that there
are no W idows and orphans left. We
must collect funds for battleas this is

NO HOPE FOR
ARCTIC WHALERS
Captain TuttIe Believes the Ships
Will be Crushed in the Ice. and
That the Crews Must Desert the
Vessels for Safety.

SEATTLE, WASH, Nov. .s18. Cap
tain Francis Tuttle, formerly CON-
mander of the revenue cutter Bear,
when she went to the relief of the
whalers in 1897, and one of the great
est living authorities on Artic lore
stated that from what he had learned
from Captain Bodfish of the whaler
William Bayliss there was absolutely
no cha nee for the fleet to escape. In
his opinion, the ships will be crushed
in the ice. The crews will have to
desert the vessels and make for the
Mac kenz river. The fleet is report
ed to be so miles from Bank g land,
which is 500 miles east of the Mack
enzie. He does rot think relief ex-
pi1ition could aid them in any way.
