scHooMERs WE'RE CRUSHED
 : INTO SHAPElESS MASS

A special to the Post-Intelli- gencer from Nome, Alaska, says:
 Sam Gottschalk, of the whaling schooner Moras reached Nome last night after d trip of 100 miles over the broken ice in Ber- ing strait with news of the loss of the Schuoners kittiwak and Moras and the hardships endured by the members of the crew. The two schoOnerS were caught in the ice near the Siberian shore last fall at the time of the freeZe-up and landed boats to prepare Win ter quarters. Before the men were able tD land all their provisions OF make extensive preparations for the winter, great storm arose and they were unable to return to their schooners. Dur ing the storm the ice coming down from the Arctic caught the schooners and crushed them into a shapeless mass.
 The crews, consisting of GOtts- chalk, Koren, a naturalist, the owner of the kittiwak; Albert Gunderson and Gus Schroeder, started out in the lone remain ing whaleboat in desperate at tempt to cross the strait through the open leads in the great ice foes to the Seward peninsula. Capt. Whiting. of the MoraS. re- fused to accompany them, believ- ing that their attempt would end in death for all, and started south along the Siberian coast in an attempt to reach Plover bay, where there is an Eskimo settle ment. Whether he arrived there is not known.
 The party in the whaleboat en- lcOuntered terrific storm near Point Diomedes island and their boat was smashed to splinters in the surf and ice foes when they landed. For three months the party subsisted on walrus, living in huts constructed of stone and ice, before they were able to at tempt the passage over the brok- en ice to the; Seward peninsula and Nome.
 The Kittiwak was a small aux Hilary gas schooner of i5 gross tons. She was purchased two years ago by Koren, who went north in her to make a study oi Arctic wild flowers.

"StrenuoSity."

The editor of the Skagway Daily Alaskan has figured 1t out that Shakespeare and Scott and Bacon and Johnson and Neritas and Vox pupuli and all that raft of volum- inous writers, had an easy time of it as compared to an ordinary Alaska daily newspaper man.
 All the stuff that Shakespeare wrote in his lifetime would not make copy for daily paper for a month.
 The Alaska editor has to write about six columns of news. semi news. editorials and quasi-editor- ials. jokes, obituaries. truths, un- truths. forgeries. rOastS and lam basis. per day. That is 36 col umns per week or IA columns a month. which is more than most of the high brows have written in lifetime. Multiply that by the days in a year and by the years in decade and the public will get some idea: of the meaning of the word "strenuosity."
 Some of the Alaska editors are willing to admit that Shakespeare put a few more comas into his writings than we do, and that he polished off his sentences with bigger words than is possible for us to take the time to look up in the dictionaries, but for the amount of words used and for the reckless manner in which they are handled, Bill hain't got nOth- ing on us.
 The literature of Bacon is best understood by the Alaskan editor. That constitutes about all the food that gets into his thoughts, and system.
