Nome. Narrowing tales

Nome. Narrowing tales of xposure and hardships on Nrangell island were told by he survivors of the Stefansson t xploring schooner Karluk, who were brought here by the rev onue cutter Bear, after being rescued by the schooner King x Wing. Including an Eskimo man, wife and two children, 4here are II survivors. The ,arty landed On the island on March 12. with about 70 days eations. Food was exhausted June f. They lived on any thing they could get hold of after that. They killed three polar bears, "a number of seals and some birds. They made a stove from coal oil cans, built boats from drift wood, and could not even get salt water for their meat, On account of the icebergs. George Stewart Maaloeh, geologist of Ontario, and Bjarne Mamen, topograph- CT, of Christiania, died Of scur- ". Throughout their precari- ous existence, the party retain ed a black and white cat they had picked up at Victoria, B. o., last year, and the mascot is now at Nome. When the Karluk was wrecked by the Ice north of Herald island, last January, the party divided and started for Wrangell island. The party led by Dr. Forbes Mackay evidently changed the plans and tried to reach the Siberian shore. When they later chang ad their course for Wrangell island again, they were caught in ia heavy blizzard, which opened the ice, and it is believ- ed the eight in the party have been swallowed up. On the night of September 6 the King X Wing reached Wrangell isl and and sent up sky rockets. There wos no response from the castways, because they were asleep, but the next morning they heard the whistles of the schooner. Four Eskimos found 9 lead through the ice in a skin boat and brought back four ol the survivors near the shore to the schooner. The King & Wing then made for the other side and picked up the remain ing castaways.

and passed, and still the wave swept eastward. Backward, slower and slower the Germans were pressed, and as the fight ing, struggling mass of hum anity came out into the open between the two lines, the Ger man guns attacked the Allies from both Hanks. and the lat ter were forced to come to a standstill. but not until they had covered close to- two miles of the territory formerly occu- Died by the Germans, which they held during the night in spite of the terrific lombard ment to which they were sub jected. Thus it will be seen
 
 that the Allied right wing is able to report a slight advance, but at a terrible cost. The German troops who took part in the assault and subsequent retreat Iare said to have been the famous Prussian Guard. considered one of the finest bodies of troops in the world.

On our center, the offensive movement continues, the French being unable to stem our advance.
