board Is exposed to natures fiercest
moods, and perils lie in wait on every

about as big as piece Of chalk" is
n familiar old time phrase that is sup
posed to represent the limit in indef-
niteness of expression, for In reality a
piece Of chalk might be the size of a
pinhead or 1t might be as big as u
mountain. And yet there are many
people to whom "a piece of chalk"
would be definite ehough-persons to
whom 1t would simply mean lump Of
chalk such as carpenters or lumbermen
use In marking lumber or chalk In the
form Of crayons used In marking on
blackboards, these being perhaps the
only ways In which they had ever seen
chalk used.
One such person, with but limited
knowledge of chalk's varied uses and
of the great quantities In which 1t is
used, was surprised to read in the ship
news of daily newspaper Of the ar
rival Of steamer with cargo of
chalk. He was still more surprised to
learn that such shipments are common;
that there is imported into this country
chalk TO the amount Of about 10000
tons annually, says. the Baltimore
American.
The chalk thus brought here comes
mainly from the south of England and
the north of France, with little from
Denmark Much Of II comes from chalk
pits on the banks Of the river Thames
not far from London. Chalk forma-
lions may rise above the level surface
OF the earth, like the chalk cliffs OIL the
southern coast Of England. or they
may lie under level ground and go be-
low the surface. The chalk miners
first remove the accumulated earth and
various deposits above the substance
as they might in uncOvering any min
cral deposit or formation. Then the
chalk is got out of n pit as stone might
be taken from quarry, except that
chalk doesn't have to be blasted. only
picks and crowbars being necessary.
Besides the common chalk of COM
merce, which is quarried out and which
Is imported in great quantities. there
is also imported what is called precipi-
tate chalk. 1t Is used In the manufac-
ture Of face and tooth powders. The
quarried chalk Is used In making whit
ing and in the manufacture of oil
cloth.

but here they suffered unspeakabe tor
ments from exposure and hunger be-
fore they persisted on the pitiless ice
foe.
The ship had $50 men dispersed over
the ice when blizzard arose. driving
her seward and leaving them helpless,
exposed to the storm and biting arctic
frost, with no food, no shelter, no ex-
ira clothing-nothing to help them in
battling against the terrible fate which
beset them. For two days and nights
they were scourged by the gale. Many
froze TO death, others were drowned In
the seals blowholes on the Ice, and
when the gale abated the ship worked
her way back to where, dead and dy-
ing, the starved and frozen seal men
lay. The survivors were gathered In
as rapidly as could be, and the ship
then bore up for home, her waist piled
with the dead and sixty suffering,
frosted hunters berthed below in foul
smelling. Ill lighted quarters.
1t was in 1873 that the schooner
Deerhound lost twenty-four men out
Of fifty-six. They had been sent of in
boats among the "open" or scattered
ice to cruise In the watery lanes and
thus conduct the hunt impossible on
foot. A storm arose, and the boats
were crushed between the writhing
fragments, and the hapless occupants
sank or scrambled on to tossing pan.
For two days the gale ragged. and Mt
its close there was not a vestige of the
little fotilla to be seen. Two more
days were spent by the schooner In
cruising about. and part Of one boat
was sighted, and upon its being over
hauled two starving and frost bitten
seal men were found beneath 1t, who
died soon after being rescued. They
were the only ones Of the whole num-
