Chinaman Leaves Car
With distressing
Results.

jumping off Waialae car at Moilini
about 6:15 yesterday evening. Il was
between two near stations II the vii
lage and the car was going up a heavy
grade, hence though the power was
fully on the car was not going at top
speed, though pretty fast.
The ChinaTnan got out upon the foot
board and those who noticed him had
no thought that he was going to jump
until the car slowed down, but he
and a resounding whack of his head
upon the road startled everybody on
the car.
Motorman Hardesty held the car while
Conductor Reeves and several passen-
gers ran back and picked up the man
from where he was lying unconscious
on his back.
He was carried to a Chinese shop
and laid upon the platform in front.
where he was revived by means of
cold water and kept there until the
ambulance came out and took him TO
the Queens hospital.
Where he fell a pool of blood mark
ed the place where his head lay. At
the hospital last night it was consid-
cred that his condition was not dan
gerous
Before being taken to the hospital
the injured man received attention
from DR.. Hodgins. Mrs. Folsom, teach
er of the Episcopal school for Chi
nese, also rendered valuable assist
ance. Conductor Reeves rung for the
ambulance at the first telephone he
reached
to-~s~Ct~s~-c~sCb
Sigurd Myhre, a Norwegian fireman of
the lost ship America.
THE party was ready to leave for
the northern trip in February, but the
weather in the spring OF 1905 was even
worse than during the previous year,
and delayed the trip until March 16.
We forced our way northward, our
trail bending more TO the eastward as
we advanced.
Time was lost in crossing leads, and
for two days and three nights we float
ed on an ice. cake with the tempera-
ture at "a deg. above zero, when 1t
should have been SO many degrees
below. The ice was in constant mo-
ton. and cracking under the tents,
which necessitated a constant watch
while encamped. Realizing the fact
that the record could not be broken
under such conditions, and with the
pressing necessity for sending food
supplies to the parties at Cape Flora
and Camp Zeigler, together with my
poverty in dogs, felt it was my duty
TO return.
"On returning TO headquarters. 1
arranged that certain OF the party
should spend the spring and summer
of 1905 in the field, sledging stores
south to Camp Ziegler, SO that they
should be easily accessible if we had
to spend a third winter in the Arctic.
Early in July 1 despatched a party of
six men, with dogs, sledges, and boats,
to Cape Dillon, for the purpose of keep
ing a lookout for the relief ship, and
also to procure walrus in view of its
possible non-arrival. 1 instructed them
to advise me at Camp Ziegler when
the ship was sighted.
"On the afternoon of Sunday, July
80. the Cape Dillon party returned over
the channel ice to Camp Ziegler, and
brought the good news that the relief
ship had arrived off Cape Dillon. At
the time I had gone a short distance
from camp TO large water-hole IN
the ice with Seaman Myer. where we
were launching a canoe A dense fog
covered the landscape, and the first
intimation we had of something un-
usual was the notes of a bugle sound
ing the recall. hurriedly returned 10
camp, and found all the men with their
faces wreathed in smiles. Everyone
was anxious TO tell the good news Of
the arrival of the long-Iooked for re-
lief"
The expedition had been in the Arc
tic since July, 1903.
