The doctor calculated with three
quarter ations to each man and full
rations to the dogs they might hold
out for three weeks.
BY three in the afternoon every
thing was ready for the start.
1t was almost dark, for, though
the sun had reappeared above the
horizon since the thirty-first of
January, it's light was feeble and
OF short duration. The moon would
rise about half-past six.
The days wore on. Progress was
slow. Binding snow storms held
them back. Moreover, the men, in
spite of their iron will, began to
show signs of fatigue. Halts be-
came more frequent, and yet every
hour was precious, for the provi-
sions were rapidly coming to an
end.
On the 14th of March, after 16
days march, the little party found
themselves only yet in the eighty
second latitude. Their strength was
exhausted and they had a hundred
miles more to go. Rations had to
be still further reduced. Each man
must be content with fourth part,
to allow the dogs their full guam
tity.
Worst of all there were only
seven charges of powder left, and
six balls.
A little game was shot, but
quickly devoured. The weary men
could hardly drag themselves
along by now. The dogs had began
to gnaw their traces.
Their last meal, on the Sunday
evening, was a very sad one-un
less help came, their doom was
sealed.
The next morning Johnson saw
bear of huge dimensions. The
old sailor took it into his head that
heaven had sent this bear special
ly for him to kill, and without wax
ing his comrades, he seized the doc
tors gun and was soon in pursuit
On reaching the right distance
he took aim; but, Just as his finger
touched the trigger he felt his arm
tremble. His thick gloves ham
perad him; he threw them off. But
what cry of agony escaped him!
The skin of his fingers stuck to the
gun as if it had been red-hot, and
he was forced to let it drop. The
sudden fall made it go off and the
ball was discharged in the air.
1t was the last bullet.
DR.. Clawbonny came out and saw
what had happened. He dragged
the poor fellow into the tent, where
he made him plunge his hands into
a bowl of water. Johnson's hands
had hardly touched it before it
froZe immediately
"You are just In time; | should
have had TO amputate soon," said
the DOCTOR

the effort he had made.
"Friends!" exclaimed Hatteras /;
''you see / was right. Our salvation
lies indeed in the north, always in
the north. We shall be saved"
but the joyous. exulting words
had hardly escaped his lips before
a sudden thought made his coun
tenance change.
The serpent of jealousy had
stung him, for his stranger was
an American, and he had reached
800 degrees nearer the pole than
the Inflated Forward.
BY further patient questioning
after rest, the doctor soon ascer
tanned that the Porpoise was a
three-mast American ship, from
New York, wrecked on the ice
with provisions and combustibles
in abundance on board.
Altamont and his crew had left
her two months previously, taking
the long boat with them on a
sled. They intended to get to

till only Altamont remained alive.

far north" Hatteras asked.
She was irresistibly driven there

| feebly.
Hatteras looked grim, but said
nothing more.

to get to Baffin's bay, our best
plan would be to go in search of

doctor, 1--WE must reach the POr-
poise by the 18th of March, unless
we mean to die of starvation
No time was lost in getting ready
to start A couch was laid on the
sledge for the American. The pro-
visions did not add much weight,
and the wood was piled up on top.

to be on for the consolidation of

EXCURSION WILL BRING
BIG CROWD TO OIL FIELD
coalinga Arranges Auto Race from
Fresno - Committee Adds
Compartment Car to
Train

The committee having in charge the
arrangements for the Sierra Madre
club excursion to the oil fields has
added one accompaniment car to the
train, which will accommodate twenty
persons, two to each compartment.
Passage in this car will cost $40 for
each compartment. In addition there
will be five standard Pullman sleeping
cars, two dining cars, one buffet and
one baggage car making train of ten
cars, requiring two engines.
OF the excursion the Coalinga Times
says:
"The coming of a hundred or more
Los Angeles business men to Coalinga
on the 26th inst is attracting much at
tention, not only of the people of the
two cities, each a metropolis in its own
way, but of the entire state. San Fran
cisco has taken cognizance of such an
excursion. All of Southern California
has been talking it over, while the peo-
pie of Fresno, Visalia, Hanford and all
the other good neighbors are arrang-
ing to come here in numbers and meet
the visitors.
"Of the county seat city it is pre-
sumed that a hundred or more will he
here to attend the glad hand. One of
the features which is designed to draw
the county seaters is an automobile
race for a trophy of $3.50. 1t is the plan
to give a e-fOr-all race from that
place to Coalinga, the owners to drive
their own cars If that will not in
duce a crowd to come here the people
of the oil city will miss their guess
