Facing Danger.

Capt. Paul, who served in the
Crimea, was noted among the
English soldiers for his kind
heart and remarkable courage. In
describing the siege of Sebasto-
pol, Sir Evelyn Wood, in 'From
Midshipman to Field Marshal"
declares that he never met 80
brave man and yet who felt
acutely every shot that passed
near him.
Early on the 18th Captain Peel
gave us proof of remarkable cour-
age. A shell weighing forty-two
pounds, penetrating the .parapet,
rolled into the center of a guns
crew, who threw themselves on
the ground. This would not, how
ever, have saved them, for there
were several cases of powder being
passed into the magazine on the
spot; but Peel, STOPPING down,
lifted the shell, and resting it
against his chest, carried it back
to the parapet, and stepping on
the ledge of earth termed Ban
quette, rolled it over the Superior
crest, on which it Immediately
burst.
About noon on the same day [

my ration of raw salt pork, a bis
cult and an onion. l was sitting
alongside gun, on the far eide of
which there was magazine built
into the parapet, when shell
bursting on the top of the maya
zine set fire to the roof and sent a
shower of sand over my pork.
There was really no danger, but an

scorched my socks and the lower

about sixteen people live and sleep

anything about 20 or 30 dogs who

There are number of names
that [ wish to mention hele be-

of this place. The names were
given them by the whalers and
they seem proud of them. These
persons play an important part in
my future stories, so [ trust you

and fish and the few supplies they
get from the ships. There are
many more things about this is-
land that I will speak of later.
We left the leland in August
and started for Banks Land-only
once in great while can the ships
reach this far northern point, as
the ice very seldom leaves here.
But this year we reached it in
safety and were rewarded by cap
turing six more whales. Here also
were several other of the ships,
some had been lucky while others
had not. One of the ships had
spent two years in the Arctic and
had caught but one whale, while
our ship had only been out few
months and we had caught IL. It

them and most times you don't.

land we took on ballast and start
ed for our return home, but to our
dismay we we're doomed to spend
the winter at the island, for in
front of us was one solid mass of
ice that had come down from
Banks Land and had lodged fast.
The young ice also was forming,
and after making several attempts
to break thru all hope was given
up. There were five ships caught
and six more never got to the is
land but were stuck 81 miles away
and some further north at Bail
ey's Island. AS soon as it was GER
tain we could not get out the cap
tain started at once to make pre-
partitions for winter. We ran the
ship near some river where there
was piles of drift wood, and loaded
the ship down with logs. This was
used to burn in the forecastle, and
kitchen or galley stove, as every
lump of coal is precious in the
north. This was the third time
we came back to the island and
you never saw a worse lot of men
in your life than the crews of these
five ships presented. Two of the
ships caught with US had already
spent two winters in the ice and,
as their time had expired on
board they were anxious to get
back home. The ships had all
brought back ship load of wood
and we made several trips inside
the bay, always bringing back
wood. This was not on our ship
ping bill and some of the men re-
fused to get wood. OF course it
was to our benefit to get all the
wood possible, as the winter is
long and cold and the ! coal was
short.
But worst of all was the provi-
sions. The two ships that had win
tered were almost out, so the 9TH
ers divided with them. We were
all put on half rations from then
on, and things took on a gloomy
outlook. Some of the men want
ed the captain to take them to
Fort Yukon or anywhere where
they could get back home, bat that
was out of the question. We then
went to him and told him he
would have to pay us so much a
month for every day We spent over
the time we had signed for, and
asked to have the ships articles
read. The articles were read, and
instead of signing for eight
months we were down for twenty
four, and instead of receiving 81 so
per pound for eur bone we we're
only allowed $50. This almost
drove us wild. But what could
we do? To leave the ship meant
death. No one could find their
way to fort without food, dog
teams and guide, none Of which
we could secure.
Here were some 800 men frozen
in the ice, short of provisions, and
discouraged. The captain at once
secured all the best hunters on the
island and sent them out for deer.

game we we're sure not to starve
to death, but on account of not
