MIAMI. Sept. 6.-I was landed at
Miami yesterday after IS horror
filed hours aboard the steamship
Dixie. Twelve hours before I was
convinced that death was certain.
I still am thankful TO be alive.
I sailed on the Dixie from New
Orleans last Saturday. Monday
morning, when we entered the FlOri-
da KEYS, the wind was blowing up.
but there was no indication Of a
severe storm. AS the day pro-
crossed the wind increased until. by
shutdown. it was screaming over the
ship. tossing it about like a cork.
Those Of the passengers who were
good sailors and did not mind the
rough weather were gathered in the
lounge, listening TO the hurricane
scream around us and, If the others
felt as I did, feeling badly fright
ened.
Thought Ship Would Ride Storm
FJt we thought the ship would

all our fears, was not the foremost
possibility in our mind. Suddenly
there was a terrible jolt. then two
more. less severe. We could feel the
ships motors no longer were turn
ing over, and suddenly the high
pitched whine of the wind seemed
to grow louder.
Before we could do anything,
mate came in from deck. In a calm
voice he ordered us to strap on life
preservers and report at once to our
life boats. I was frightened, but
not too badly frightened to obey.
We reported on the promenade
deck, where the rain was pouring
in torrents and the wind all but
lifted us up and carried us into the
sea. It was in my mind that the
officer would order us to jump into
the sea and I wondered if 1 would
have the courage to obey. Instead.
ne ordered us into the shelter of
the amidship house. Apparently he
did not believe the ship was in i'm
mediate danger of sinking.
wind HOwled Like Demon"
That night wore on like a night
mare, with the wind bowling like
demon. Occasionally we could hear
the ship grinding on the rocks that
held her fast and great waves were
breaking over her main deck, cover
ing the promenade deck above with
sheets of spray.
The wind diminished gradually
Tuesday. though the rain continued
and gradually our spirits returned
The ships officers assured us there
no longer was any danger and We
were convinced when we could see
through the rain and the haze the
rescue vessels standing by.
Wednesday my fears returned
when the life boats from the rescue
ships came alongside. 1t came my
turn to be lowered down the Dixie's
side into the lifeboat. The Dixie
was listing badly. They tied a rope
under my arm pits and helped me
over the rail and, hanging on to the
rope, I walked a few feet down the
steep side of the ship. Then I lost
my footing and was lowered very
gently I must say, into the boat.
was looking right down into the
waves and thought they we're going
TO get me any minute. They didn't
though. but III bet I won't forget
that experience in a long time.
Imagine hanging over nothing but
water and watching it clutch for
YOU.

 It is a very dangerous thing for one not accustomed to it, to attempt to land at the is- land. and much more diff cult task to leave it. At the mouth of the cave where the break in the perpendicular wall occurs, is the only spot on the whole island where where the natives can land their canoes or skin bidarkas through the boiling surf. But in leaving the island it is a different matter. They can- not get thru the surf which is nearly always high. So the bidarka in which they leave is taken to the top of the cliff and the parties wishing to em bark are seated in the skin boat clad in camalinkas, a skin waterproof coat which fits very tightly around the neck and is then tied over the hatch in the bidarka in which they sit, so as to ren- der the boat absolutely water tight. When all is ready four men pick up the bidarka and when the waves are receding from the island, they cast it upon big breaker, and the men in the boat, at,quickly right ing it, go paddling away as though it was all in the days work. It is very dangerous feat which very few can &C., complish. The natives go long distances over the sea in their frail boats, hunting the wal rus and the seal, and also watching closely for any float ing driftwood which they may chance upon.
 This is always lowed to the island and carefully stored away in case of future need. The natives are very hardy and frugal; wasting nothing they can use. The stomachs of the Walrus are carefully opened and examined for clans and other shell fish up- on which the huge animals feed. and every bone and si- new is made use of in some manner. The natives are of a cheerful disposition and gat- her around the small stoves at night while some old man or other person tells stories of olden days, of the fights with the natives from the Si- berian coast, of the fierce forays on other tribes to se- cure spells and young maid ems, and they are much more comfortable than one would imagine.
 The stoves were formerly hollowed out of huge stones, with a receptacle for seal or whale oil. Into these crude cups in the rocks a quart of oil or so is poured and a wick made of reindeer moss, is tightly twisted and stuck into the oil. After it is saturated good it is lighted and care fully trimmed at intervals of a few minutes by an old wo- man who is an expert at the art. The children as well as the older people have many curious games constructed out of the tusks of walrus, and they are tough and inur- ed to cold and exposure.
 These natives are never idle, their hands being constantly occupied in sewing, carving, decorating walrus tusks for sale at the citV of Nome 80

Not many people are aware
 that there is a race of cave
 dwellers in Alaska, but such
 is the case. This hardy race
 lives on King Island. just
 south of Cape Prince of Wal
 es, which is the extreme nor
 thern cape closest to Siberia.
 The village of cave dwellers
 numbering about 200 souls is
 one of the most remarkable
 in the world considering
 their environments. The is
 land is a great mass of basalt
 rock, about a mile in length,
 rising from the Boring Sea
 with perpendicular sides from
 700 feet to 1000 feet above
 the water. On the south side
 of the island the wall is brok-
 en down by a ravine rising at
 an angle of 45 degrees and
 talus from the towering cliffs.
 A great permanent snow
 bank fills the ravine from the
 top to the bottom of the noun
 tain. On the west side of the
 village of Oukivak has been
 built. This village consists of
 about 40 houses or under
 ground dwellings partly eX-
 cavated in the side of the
 mountain and built up with
 stone walls across the tops of which are sticks and poles
 caught from the ocean or long
 pieces of whale ribs, or any thing that can be secured which will answer the pur- pose for roof poles. On these
 poles are placed hides, which in turn is thickly covered with dirt.
 A low, dirt-covered tunnel
 10 to 100 feet long leads di- rectly under the center of the dwellings. This is so low it is necessary to creep in on hands
 and knees. The entrance is covered by a skin of some
 kind, and is generally full of
 half savage dogs and half
 grown children. At the end of the hall, and directly over head, is circular hole about Is inches in diameter. This is the only entrance to the dwelling of this northern ab- origines. In the summer the melting snow and the drips from the rocks frequently render these crude dwellings
 too damp for habitation, and then the people erect a sum- mer home on top of the win ter home. The summer home consists of Walrus hides stret- ched over a frame, making a room about 20 feet square.
 These homes are strongly guyed to the rocks with thick rawhide thongs to prevent them from being blown off in to the sea by the fierce gales that sweep necessarily across the strait. Outside the door of the igloo or tent. is a plat form about 2 feet wide, lead ing back to the base of the
 hill. Some of these platforms are from 15 to 20 feet above the roofs of the huts below them. The entrance of the
 summer home is a circular hole in the walrus skin cov-
 cred by a flap of walrus hide.
 which can be tightly laced to
 prevent marauding dogs from
 entering during the absence of the owners. Across the ra- vine from the village at the
 base of the perpendicular hill
 is a cave into the mouth of which inc Sl1rf dachac and

A meeting of the committee ap- pointed by Judge J. H. s. Morrison chairman, for the Presidents Birth day Celebration will meet this ev- ening for the purpose of checking reports on the entertainment plann- ed for Wednesday evening at the Dream Theatre, Jan. 30th.
 Numerous acts have been arrang- ed, it is understood, and other in- teresting entertainment features for that evening. The charge for ad- mission will be $100 for adults ov- CT twelve years of age and 50 for all under that age.
 This year seventy percent of the funds will remain in Nome for the relief of infantile paralysis while 'only thirty percent will be sent out side The thirty percent will be sent to the President who will delegate in the work of research to be car ried on to bring relief methods up to date for that disease Last year the proceeds collected in Nome were turned over to the Georgia Warm Springs Foundation.
 A work of this kind deserves the entire support of everyone in Nome. The committee handling the details further states that in case there are some who wish to donate more than their admission to the Dream Thea tre Wednesday evening, they may do so at the box office where the funds may be deposited.

WEE HOUSE FLY PLEDGED
 SCREEN ACTOR

An ordinary housefiy plays part in Lady For A Day." the Damon Runyon story, which comes to the Dream theatre Tuesday night, not only plays part, but in the few seconds he is shown on the screen he dominates all the human actors.
 Dave the Dude" leading man of the picture played by Warren Will jams, is a gambler who'll bet on anything. So, too. will "The Greek" !" another gambler. They place Jumps of sugar on top of overturned glass es in cafe scene, and Dave wagers $500 fly will light on his lump before one does on the Greeks. And the story calls for the Dude to lose the bet.
 "How are you going to make fly light on one lump of sugar rather than, the other?" someone asked Frank Capra, who was directing the picture And how are you going to get hold of fly that will light anywhere at all?"
 Elementary" said Capra. First, the property department gets lot of flies and keeps them hungry for couple of days. Then we release one right close to the sugar-lumps If this fly buzzes away, we let loose another and another, till we get one that will light to feed
 He's sure to light on the Greeks sugar, because on that has been placed few drops of a substance that attracts flies. On Dave's lump has been put some chemical whose odor repels flies It's cinch. Dave the Dude never had chance to win that bet It was framed'-and I've heard of that being done in real life, too"
