Fran' Martin who returned on the Uki0wak from Wales on Thurs day evening says that the Sea Vol. is in by no means bed shape Sae was bur.sg about four and uals feet and ..ev raised her and swuag the schooner partly around. #Ha boat is located oH a sandy is,et 'a Inc Shis@are@ lagoon~ and if he lad had with him the proper tackle he would have been able to take her to Nome on this trip. As it is he had to come back for his equip rlent and expects to return. Ii he is able to arrange to go up soon he will have the schooner in the roadstead in fifteen or sixteen days. He had quite an experience coming from Shi8mare1f to Cape Prince ot Wales. l. was blowing a hurricane and the westerly wind drove blindl1 with snow, quite a heavy snow storm at that. Ii took him six days in this stormy weather sleeping out in wet and water on the trip which was absolutely shelterless along its entire way. l. was about as tough an experience as any man would want. The Sea Wolf is not serious ly injured and has stood out the elements in it's StormbOund position very well indeed. One or two plank ing on the starbord side is all that the ship will need in the way of repairs. Now that he has been to the stranded vessel he knows ex- actly what he requires and will bring it up with him if he is able to get a boat to take him there be- fore it is too late.

 Mir. Dupctois the teacher on St Lawrence island will leave on the Bear for his station. Although isO- lated from all intercourse with any but the natives this teacher enjoys the life. Being married and his wife residing with him, he finds his work interesting enough to make life on the lonely island by nc means so irksome as it might ap, pear. Last winter an epidemic struck the island and he and his wife expected to be victims of it It was a type of typhoid pneumonia and killed off quite a number oi natives. They had little hope of re covery when they themselves gol sick and had even gone as far as to give directions about their burial The Bureau of Education in addition to the school runs a cooperative store which is very great success under the manage ment of the present teacher. St Lawrence island is a reindeer re- servation and so not available for white settlement It is known that high grade quartz carryinss free milling gold exists in quantities outcropping in a section of this re- servation.
