Milwaukee. Wis.-Whether or not

trip to the north pole. He seemed
perfectly rational. The other day tel

from him announcing the discovery of
the pole according to program. The

have succeeded so far only in securing

could, considering the hurry he is in.

CHRISTMAS ON SHIP OF ICE.
Strange Story of Skipper Shipwrecked
on the Pacific.


on the Pacific.
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, has 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:
"The approach of Christmas always
reminds me of the December that ]

one? Well, they are unusual. was
master of the little brig Holly, and
along about the LIST 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.

large pinnacle of the berg. Then | set
them all to work with axes, and we
shaped it into a graceful ships hull.
After that we followed it out inside.

regular ship, and with some of the
timber saved from our vessel we rig
ged her as a bark, side lights and ev
erything, even going so far as to paint
her and 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 a
great time l loaded part of the wreck
ed Holly's cargo in her, and we then
started for Callao, which was our des-
tination.
1.-The ice ship sailed fine and was as
good sea boat as any in which l sail

were down south in cold water. The
nearer we got to the equator the light
er became our vessel, and l finally dis
covered that our ship was melting be-
meath us. Another two days and we
would have been in the water when a
steamer picked us up and also saved
the cargo. This paid for the loss of
the vessel, which was also insured, so
the owners came out ahead in the
end"
