FIRST COSSACKS OVER HERE
Daring Voyages III Crude Boats Cost
Many Lives Crossing the
Behring Sea.

Long before Peter the Great had
sen Vitus Boring to America, in 1741,
Russian voyagers had launched out
east and north with a daredevil reck-
lessness that would have done honor
to prehistoric That part of their
adventures is a record that exceeds
the widest darings of fiction, says
a writer in Harper's Magazine, Their
boats were called kotches. They were
some 90 feet long. flat-bottomed,
planked with green timber. Not a nail
was used. Where were nails to come
from 5000 miles across the frozen
tundras? Indeed, iron was so scarce
that at a later day, when ships with
nails ventured on these seas, natives
were detected diving below to pull
the nails from the timbers with their
teeth. Instead of nails the Cossacks
used reindeer thongs to bind the plank
ing together. Instead of tar, moss and
clay and the tallow OF sea animals
calked the seams. Needless to say,
there was neither canvas nor rope.
Reindeer thongs supplied the cordage.

ETY. craft, with the help Of God and
a little powder" the Russian voyagers
hoisted sail and put to sea. On just
such vessels did Deshneff and Staduch-
in attempt to round Asia from the
Arctic into Behring sea G647-50).
70 be sure, the first bang of the ice
foes against the prov of the rickety
boats knocked them into kindling
wood. Two-thirds OF the Cossack voyI
ayers were lost every year; and often
all news that came of the crew was
a mast pole washed in by the tide with
a dead man dashed to the cr0ss-trees.

carried. Pine needles were the only
antidote for scurvy, and many a time
the boat came tumbling back in the
home port, not a man well enough to
stand before the mast.
