Jack
Bushnell browns
IN AN ATTEMPT TO RESCUE H.
RAM HUMPHREY

Jack Bushnell drowned IN the
Columbia river near the dock at II:
80 this morning. Bushnell lost his
life in a heroic effort to swim to the
assistance of Hiram Humphrey who
was out in the current of the river
in a row boat unable to make head
way to get back to land against the
current and tue high wind blowing.
The boy started from the steamer
Todd moored on the north side OF
the point of the Island to come
around the point of the Island to
the still water but was carried by
the current out toward the middle
of the stream. He was frightened
and called for help but does not
seem to have been in danger.
Bushnell, after removing bis shoes,
coat and hat, started in from -. ne
point of the Island to swim to his
rescue but was seized with cramps
and drowned before he went as far
down stream as the old piers. The
Waterman on the Todd and Lois
Taylor who had put out from the
nr..dd to help the boy even before
Bushnell started in the water, turn
ed to bis assistance when he called
for help. When they were very
near to him he called again, they
got a glimpse of his face but he
sank from sight before they reached
the spot. The Humphrey boy fin
ally drifted over to the Pasco side
and landed just below the railroad
bridge.
Bushell was about % yeas old
and was married about two weeks
ago. He was working as engineer
on the Launch Waluke. His broth
erin law Townshend is working on
the North Coast bridge and was
notified by telephone and as we 60
to press is coming up the river look
ing for the body. A searching par
ty from town is also making an
effort to recover it.

Speaking to the representatives OF
the press. Dr. Cook said he left at
the North Pole an American flag and
a box containing documents. includ-
ing brief account Of the trip and
observations and the data to bear
out his claim, and that he brought
back the most exact observations,
absolutely proving his statement.
The explorer also said he kept q
diary throughout his entire expedi-
ton. In which he recorded the most
minute details.
DR.. Cook stated In part:
Concerning the ice around the
Pole, it was slightly more active
there than at one or two degrees
south. Its general character was
not very different from that at other
places. We stayed around the Pole
for two days making many observa-
tions. l don't claim to have put my
finger on the exact spot; 1 do not
claim to have put my foot on 1t. but
personally l think we have been at
the spot When the observations
have been figured out again. it is
possible that there will be found
slight errors and differences. but
am certain that gunshot fired from
where we were would have passed
over the Pole"
Prepared to Face Scrutiny.
81 am quite prepared to place my
observations before any geographical
society In the world. have already
received kilograms from the geo.
graphical societies of Sweden. Nor
way, Denmark, Belgium and other
countries. which congratulate me.
LAS to the temperature at the
Pole, 1t was minus 80. l took about
400 photographs, one of which
shows the American flag flying.
The daily distance covered on the
northward trip was slightly less than
Is miles; on the southwark trip 1t
was 10 miles.
Last Animals at IS Degrees.
I'VE lived entirely on dried meat
and beef tallow. reducing the food
problem to a science. The last trace
of animals we saw was a bear track
at 83 degrees. Afterwards we did
not even see anything in the water
except algae"
