In August, 1898, the steam auxiliary
bark Navarch was abandoned about
twenty miles of shore from Point Bar
row. This was one of the strongest and
most powerful vessels that has ever been
in the western Arctic. She was sighted
again late in September about twenty
miles Off Cape Simpson. She was boarded
then by Thomas Gordon. and in October.
while she was still lying in the same
vicinity. C. d. Brewer from Cape Smythe
went aboard again with twenty-five dos
sleds and removed from her practically
everything of value, except her coal The
| following December the Navarch was
sighted again, this time coming in from
the west with the ice about twelve miles
south of Cape Smythe. The ice brought
| her to within two miles from shore, and
then carried her up parallel to The coast
until she stopped about three miles from
shore three or four miles north OF cape
| Smythe. After remaining here FOR some
time she was finally crushed by having
her entire bottom taken out and left be-
hind. while the main body OF the yesse.

but some half-mutinous sailors. who did
not relish the hard work. set fire to the
vessel and burned her up.
The autumn of 1909 the sailing schooner
| Ivy (of about 40 tons) went aground a
few yards from shore three miles east o,
Point Barrow and the young ice formed
| around her. The following December a
strong southerly gale carried the Ice on
and the Ivy with it. She was not sighted
until the following July. when she came
drifting up from the southwest parallei

or twelve miles off shore. No one went
aboard of her. as she was at first mis-
taken for one of the incoming ships and

Eskimo Woman Knows Country.

The only Eskimo who knew anything
about the country was the wife of the
deer hunter, and even she had never been
east Of the Colville river, where the
chance for deer is best, and, as she was
our only seamstress and had to make
clothes for the entire ships company, she
could not be spared. While We drifted in
the ice she would continue to be the most
important because most usefuD person
on board, and. of course, her husband
would not go ashore without her and the
children.
There seemed no way, therefore but
that | should go myself to try to get meat

and there from Cape Halkett to FlaXman

Curious Incidents Noted.

1t has happened, curiously. that many
of the most strongly built ice vessels that
have come to the Beaufort sea have been
crushed by the ice and sunk, while others
more fragile placed in apparently similar
situations have escaped. The inference Is
of course not that the stronger the YES

The Karluk is sound. in thorough re-
pair. and strengthened for ice work,
though not SO strong as some other
ice vessels. She came through the
summer without the slightest mishap.
1t is, therefore. a matter of good or
evil fortune whether she survives the
winter. 1t seems probable that IL the
winds and currents keep her at a con-
siderable distance from land she will
be safe; If she gets on a lee shore she
will be crushed. In neither event is
there particular danger to the party
aboard. If she is crushed near land

Plans Set Back a Year.

Plans Set Back Year.
All our hopes for the year had now
gone by the board; our plans were Set
back at least a year. Our lives were IN
no particular danger. for we had at Bar
row provided ourselves with three thirty-
foot skin boats, each capable of carry
ing more men than a thirty-foot wooden
boat twhaleboat can carry. The skin
boats are adapted to hauling on sleds,
humping into ice or being dragged over
it from one water lane to another, for. al
though they are strong the weight of all
three of them together is less than that
of one fragile whaleboat. While, there
fore. we ourselves were safe enough,
nothing else of ours was safe.
Our most serious immediate problem
was to provide fresh meat The one con-
tingency we had not provided against
was being caught in the ice offshore west
of Herschel. We had on board Beuchat.

all of whom were to be transferred to our
other ships at Herschel Island. Here We're
five extra men to feed and clothe, whose
usefulness lay elsewhere than with us.
though Murray and Mckinlay could do
something in oceanography and magnet
ism wherever they were.
l should have made an attempt to get
all these men ashore late in August when
we We're off Camden bay, but the equip

scientific work. We're too heavy to trans

The Election

Tbs election Tuesday was .
very quiet affair throughout the
state. Only about half Of the
voting strength Of those com
munities where most interest
was centcred was brought out.
Incomplete returns from con
gressional districts indicate that
all tbs present incumbents were
returned by safe m~ajorities.
The greatest surprise contain
ed in the returns is the vote re
ceived by Judge Teat in the 9Th
district, where a fight had been
waged by the Bilbo forces to
ouste him from the bench. He
is now claiming the nomination
over both his opponents and the
returns 50 for received indicate
that he only wants about $50
votes to assure his nomination.
In this district, Mcintyre seems
to have defeated Lamb, the
present Chancellor.
In this county Sisson ran
ahead of Morrison by more thar
4 to l, receiving 824 votes tC

county over Mcintyre by 20t
votes.

Edward D. Elias Buys Stock and
Good Will of L. ROsenbaum

We gladly refer the readers of
the Hummer to the Announce
ment in this issue of our good
friend Mr.. Ed Elias of Okolona.
Many of the Houlka people
have known him for several
years, having bought clothing
from him while he was working
as salesman and manager for
J. Rubel & Co. Everybody
knows him to be reliable, friend
ly up to second" in his daily
life Of hustling to meet the
wants of the other fellow.
No man in Mississippi knows
the business of clothing the
human being any better than
Mr.. Elias. From toe to top he
is there with the goods"
For dozens of years he has
supplied thousands of people
with the best clothing that ever
came to Mississippi. Houlka
made his store her place of bust
ness. Everybody liked Mr..
loved him. He
never made a mistake that he
did not cheerfully correct.
When called on to help any cause
he was always there with his
money and influence. The same
can be truthfully said Of his
successor. To see Mr.. Rosen-
baum go out of business is al
most like sweeping away enc of
: the best institutions Mississippi
!, has ever had. Mr.. Elias though
) will not let the business ''ro-
nance" die for his personality
and integrity like that of Rosen-
baum, will make for him the
same good name in all the homes
Of the Okolona radius.
Besides Mr.. Elias there viii
be Messrs. Oscar Trice anc
Howard Bean, Mrs. Annie Glass
and Miss Ida Murfee to serve
their friends with the same
skill and quickness known Il
the quintet Of statesmen an(
saleswomen in the city O
r Okolona.
e The Hummer wishes Mr.
: Elias the success that is due t.
j. him in his new canoe and i
e certainly gives us pleasure t
make the announcement Of tn
h deal and to also know that tn
: old reliable business of Nh
Rosenbaum has rot passed int
d hands less skilled than his own
