Dwellings of the Eskimos.
The tent had raised platform, upon
which all slept. The edge of this made
seat. and pn each side were placed
stone lamps, in which blubber was burn
ed, with moss as wick. Over this was
drying rack, and there was other
furniture.
The dress of furs gave the Eskimos a
lcok of savage fierceness which their
kindly faces and easy temper ament did
not warrant.
On board the yacht there had been
busy days of barter. Furs and ivory had
been gathered in heaps in exchange for
guns, knives and needles. Every seaman,
from cabin boy to captain, had suddenly
got rich in the gamble of trade for
priced blue fox skins and many narwhal
tusks.
The Esklmos, were equally elated with
! their end of the bargain. For a beau

The Yacht Again Ahoat.
The midnight tide lifted the yacht on an
even keel from her makeshift dry dock on
the beach. and she was pulled out into the
bay and anchored for few hours. Coma

the tribe had divided its 250 people for
the current season.

age the game of barter and to enjoy the
rare sport OF yachting and hunting in

to visit as many villages as possible

a gray day. with quiet sea. The speed
of the yacht was not fast enough to be

chase of walrus or a drive at anything
that happened to cut the waters.
The harpoon gun was taken. as it was
hoped that a whale might come our way.
but the gun proved unsatisfactory and
did not contribute much to our sport We
were able to run all round the yacht as
she slowly sailed over Wostenholme
sound.
Ducks were secured in abundance Seals
were given chase, but they were able to
escape our craft. Nearing Saunders Is
land. herd Of walrus was seen on a pan
of drift ice far ahead of the yacht. The
magnetic was pushed. the carbureter
opened and out we rushed after the shout
ing beasts.
Two with splendid tusks were obtained.
and two tons of meat blubber were turned
over TO our Eskimo allies.
The days of hunting proved quite siren
uous, and in the evening we were glad to
seek the comfort of our coy cabins when
roast elder duck had filled a large gap.

Especial to THE T1MEs.)

Indiana Harbor. Ind, July 26.-Or-
ganized labor throughout East Chica-
go and Indiana Harbor has been con-
siderably aroused over the appearance
in Indiana Harbor of a man named Bar
rett, professional strikebreaker, who
has been here since Thursday working
quietly among the workers in the In
land mill, inducing them TO quit their
present occupation and take the places
of strikers in the mills at YOUNGSTOWN.
Ohio
Not only are the unionists greatly
concerned over the situation, but the
Inland people are less so, as the inter-
loper has succeeded in coaxing away
quite a number Of valued workers. whom
the Inland could i'll afford to spare with
orders piling up on them, as they have
been Of late.
Efforts are being made to run Bar
rett out OF town, as union men here are
in full sympathy with the strikers and
altogether opposed to working against
the interests of the strikers.
Inland Not In the Fight.
In the first place it was reported
that the men were wanted to man a
new mill that was about to open up in
a manufacturing town not so very far
from Lake county. Later the report
spread that the deportation was the re-
suit of a sympathetic feeling on the
part of the Inland mill people for the
owners OF the striking mills. and that
they were responsible for their men
leaving to take the places of strikers
IN this the union men thought they saw
a scheme to stamp out union labor in
the mills of the country.
J. W. Lees, the superintendent of the
Inland mill. emphatically and indig-
nantly denied this latter report In
the first place, said he. We need all
our men in our own mill. In the second
place. the strike is none of our af-
fair, and we are not troubling our
selves over It. We have enough of our
own troubles without attending to those
of other steel corporations. The idea
is preposterous.
