CHRISTMAS ON SHIP OF ICE.
Strange Story Of Skipper shiPwrseked
on the Pacific.

on the bacthe.
Captain S. A. Hoyt, secretary of the
Masters and Pilots association Of Seat
tie. WASH. and possibly one Of the
most widely known seafaring men on
the Pacific coast, mas fund of expe-
riences to draw from when he wishes
to while away an hour. Up in the big
pleasant rooms of the association the
captain recently told the following
tale:
"rhe approach Of Christmas always
reminds me of the December that l
spent on an ice ship. Never heard OF
one? Well, they are unusual. l was
master OF the little brig Holly. and
along about the 1st Of November we
were wrecked away down south of the
Horn. The ship went on an Ice foe
and was battered all to pieces. We
did manage to save some tools and
food and part Of the cargo.
Il put the crew to work to cut OF n
large pinnacle of the berg. Then 1 set
them all to work with axes. and we
shaped 1t into u graceful ships hull.
After that we followed 1t out inside,
making cabins and everything like a
regular ship. and with some OF the
timber saved from our vessel we rig
ged her us bark. side Iights and cv-
erything. even going so far ns to paint
her aud name her the Holly. She was
a fine craft and fioated like duck
when finally launched. We spent
Christmas on board OF her and had n

"The ice ship sailed fine and was as
good sea boat as any in which sail
ed. This was only. however. when we
were down south In cold water. The

meath us. Another two days and we
would have been In the water when n

the cargo. This paid for the loss OF
the vessel. which was also insured, so
the owners came out ahead In the
end"
