On a Lonely Island.
Terrible suferings Of Norwegian Sailors In Pacific abandoned
Bark After Three Months Calm In Sight Of Galapagos Group

A story of suffering at sea, followed
by months of privation on lonely
island, is told by survivors of the Nor
Jvegian bark Alexander Dubis, who
were recently landed at Southampton,
England, and sent thence to California,
says the New York Sun. The story Is
not one Of shipwreck; it is Of disaster
produced by a succession Of Gains.
The region was the neighborhOod Of
the Galapagos Islands, in the southern
Pacific ocean, and it was on one of the
smallest Of the islands that the men
The story as told by one of the quar-
tcrmasters, a man named Morrison,
goes back to the beginning of 1907,
Y: he2 the bark fell into series of pro-
tr:a~ted Gains, varied only by light and
adverse winds. These conditions last
CO for over three months, during which
,:o- position varied little.
Food ran short, and the fresh water
became foul and undrinkable. There
seemed to be 70 hope Of getting into
Il wind zone and still less of making
;};sI1.
About May land was sighted,
which the captain recognized as outly-
III. members Of the Galapagos group.
Every effort was made to steer the
bark toward them, but without avail.
&c islands We're in sight for two

anil conditions On board had become
hopeless, it was determined to abandon
the vessel and make for the land in
boats There were two of these, bare
y big enough to hold the crew. The
crew took to them on May 8, leaving
the bark to her fate all sail set.
: Then came a desperate struggle to
make the shore. A strong current
tended to carry the boats out to sea
1t last the boat that Morrison was In
seemed to get out Of the direct cur
rent. and distinct progress was made
toward one Of the islands. It was the

lost sight of the captains boat.
The landing brought disappointment
to the castaways The island was
bare and barren. By splitting cactus
leaves and sucking the pulp the men
cooled their thirst.
"Never have | experienced such a
pleasure as when the sap moistened
my lips" says Morrison.
They found a turtle and made fire
with driftwood and seaweed and cook
ed it in it's shell. The fire they kept
burning day and night, for they had
only sixteen matches among them.
They were so careful that when res
cued they still had nine left.
BY way Of variety in their diet they
gathered some shellfish and caught a
few lizards. Turtles fortunately were
rather plentiful. What they longed
for most was bread, and when they
knocked down few birds they tried
to grind up the bones into -four.
Another island about a mile distant
seemed more promising. 1t showed

Mrs. 7. C. Thompson returned to
her home in Leavenworth yesterday
to remain a day or so. She will re-
turn to be near her husband, who is
at the Emergency hospital. Mr..
Thompson, who was employed as a
saw filer at the saw mill at Leaven-
worth, was severely injured in that
city last Saturday. While return
ing from the Eagles lodge at ten
O'Clock at night, walking down the
track. he stepped aside for what he
thought vas only an engine. Not
knowing that there was a caboose
attached he stepped back toward the
track and the caboose struck him,
throwing him under the wheels. His
right hand and foot were nearly am
putated, and an ugly cash was made
in his leg from which blood poison
ing has been feared. Immediately
after the accident, Mr.. Thompson
was carried into the depot and his
wounds dressed by DR.. Hoxey. who
brought the patient to Wenatchee by
the first train. An operation was
performed by DR.. Culp, assisted by
Drs. Blake and Hoxey. The case Is
remarkable for the rapidity with
which the wounds are healing.

THE NEXT BOOM CAMP

One of the features Of the week at
Ullaine, the new camp situated about
thirty-five miles southwest of Austin.
in the Emma Bowler district, was the
sensatioually rich gold strike made by
G.. +. Sieloff in his No. 4 claim of the
Herinosa group, says the Reveille.
The strike was made while running
an open cut, and a ledge fully FIVE feet
in width was opered up. Four feet of
this ledge pans gold freely and carries
a product ranging from SIS to $50
The remaining n foot of ore is liter
ally alive with the yellow metal and
assays over 800 per ton. The ledge
stands almost perpendicular between
we'll defined walls and as depth is reach
ed holds its width and maintains tn,
same ~high-grade values as at surface
A perpendicular shaft is being sunk OF
this bonanza ledge and will be contin
ued to water level, where il is expected
that the permanent ore zone win be en-
eountcred.
In this ground are six claims
Claims Nos. l, 2 and 3 are traversed by

of two feet. This ledge shows gold il

Mr.. Sieloff is the d~iscoverer Of the
camp and is well versed in mining. He,
for many years, did expert work for the
Boston Mines Co, a combination of
New York and Boston capitalists. His
work took him into South America,
Mexico and the mining states Of the
west. He has faith in this district and
says that the showing at Ullaine is
equal to the best in the state.
During the past week some handsome
offers have been made for Uilaine min
ing realty and a number Of experts, rep
r~esenting eastern capital, are expected
in camp soon. The future of the camp
certainly looks bright, and the tip that
is going the rounds among mining men
is to keep an eye on Ullaine, for she is
scheduled for the next boom, and the
day is not far off when you will see a
rush into Reese River Valley that will
be hkened to the boom days Of Tono-
pah, Manhattan and Goldfeld.

The development in the winze at the
Bullfrog Pioneer is proving that the
ore goes down in that property. The
winze is nov down about twenty-five
feet below the 110-foot level, and is in
a fine grade of milling ore all the way
down. This is a very satisfactory con
dition, and gives the leasers more con
fidence than ever in the productive
qualities of the block of ground.
The latest report from the mill is to
the effect that it is doing good work,
and that the plant is making a hand
some profit wei and above all expenses,
which is certainly gratifying, consider
ing the difficulties and delays which
have attended this infant enterprise.
