the others were sick unto death. We
had only six barrels of water on

little flour, butter and meat. On
top of this the shrouds on the main

fore we could not carry any sail on

state TO remain longer at sea and
that it was dangerous to wait for
fair winds because our men were

mander called together for consul

their sickness and feebleness they
We're no longer able to do their
work at sea. Taking this into ac-
count the Captain Commander and
the higher and lower officers agreed
to look for an anchoring place where
We might winter in order to save
ourselves and not be entirely des-
troyed by such a dreadful disease.
All the men agreed to this, and We
sailed before the wind towards the

DimOnd Asks
Congress To Keep
Seward Rail City

WASHINGTON. July Ito pre-

a ghost town" Delegate Dimond
CD-Alaska) wants Congress TO ap-
propriate s1.5O0.000 for the rehab-
ilitation and maintenance of a sec
ton of the u. s. Goyernment-owned
Alaska railroad that terminates at
Seward.
Dimond recalled at a hearing Of
the senate appropriations sub-com-
mIttee on the Interior department
appropriations bill for the next fis-
cal year that a deficiency bill cali
ing an item of s5.30O.000 to have
the terminus of the railroad chang
ed from Seward TO Passage Canal
1T was proposed to abandon the
road between Seward and Mile So
Dimond recalled. added;
q think there is no question but
that Seward will be almost unin-
habitable" without its present rail
road facilities.
Dimond's testimony before the
subcommittee was made public
when the interior department ap-
preparation bill was reported to the
senate.
Dimond said changes in the rout-
ing of the railroad was urged be
cause lit was considered by the war
department that the new terminus
would be more defendable than the
old, with less track to protect and
maintain, IA miles as against 60
miles"
Brooks c. Johnson, a civil en-
gineer from Seward, Alaska appear
ed before the subcommittee also to
corroborate Dimond's testimony re-
garding the need of railroad faeili-
ties at Seward.

Wednesday, July Is marks the
2OOth anniversary of the discovery
of Alaska. On that Thursday, in
1741 just past neon, Vitus Bering,
commander of the expedition and
of the flagship, st. Peter, entered
in the ships log. "At 1890 we
sighted high snoW-covered noun
tains and among them a high vol
cano N by w (Which he named St
Elias). Topsail wind, clear, with
passing clouds; carrying top-sails
staysails, foresail and mainsail;
sounded in $50 fathoms, no bottom.
The much neglected history Of
the discovery of Alaska has been
oyershadowed in America by the de-
velopment which was taking place
at the same time on the eastern sea
board where thirteen colonies were

no other means (since the island
was bare and treeless) than to break
up the ship and make out of her for
our voyage to Kamchatka as large
a vessel as the timber would allow.
To this plan all agreed, and we went
to work in April and continued OPP
crations until May 8
Winter Trial
-. On the island we lived very
poorly because our dwellings were
holes made in the sand covered over
with sail. The gatherings of wood
was particularly difficult, for we
were Obliged to search for it along
the beach and carry it on our backs
as far as 10 or Il Versts. While we
were there we and nearly all the
men in our command suffered great
ly from scurvy and for such a Ions
i1e thar some did not fully recover
before spring when there were found
some greens which could be used
for food During the whole winter
our food, because we had no other
provision, was, we might say, very
poor, difficult to obtain, and not
fit to eat. We had to hunt along the
beach sometimes as far as 20 and
80 yersts in the hopes of killing
sea animal, sea otter, sea lion, or
hair seal. which is comomnly called
tulen. Having killed the beast we
had to carry 1t on our backs the
same long distance back to our camp,
If we could not find live animals to
kill We had to content ourselves
with dead ones that were washed
ashore such as sea cows and
-. On Aug. 10 we launched our
newly constructed ship which we
named the hooker St. Peter, and
we rugged it on August 13. Having
taken ON board all the men to the
number of As, we started, with
Gods help, on our way to Kan
chatka On the night of August
Is, while out at sea, the vessel,
owing to her poor construction,
sprang a big leak so that there
was soon about two feet of water
in the hold. We were in great
danger, and to tighten the ship We
threw out of the hold cannon balls
and shot. By means of buckets and
pumps we got rid of some OF tie
water. When the leak had been
somewhat attended to we proceed
ed on our course. On August &c
we sailed safely into the Harbor of
the Holy Apostles st. Peter and st.
