During all this time, with the eXceo- tion of one day, the men had been eX- periencing the most bitter of weatfer.
 This morning John E. ThwaiteS Was found intently looking at large pie iure, hanging over one of the doors at Sexton S Thwaites. The picture was the Farallon, encaSed Tn ice five feet thick, resting on the rocky shore, where she struck. Mir. ThwaiteS was the mail clerk on the Farallon and he stood looking at the picture sad: That was a fearful thirty day period through which We passed. Our She!- ter place was swept by gales contln- ually and none of us left except to se- cure drift wood to keep us warm. The snow fell so thickly that one would have become lost had he stray ed 30 feet away from sight. Nothing was more cheerful than the sight ot the Victoria, one of the three boats sent out to locate us"
 Capt. Hunter, now on the North western, was also on the Farallon, when the wreck occurred.
