The East Orcsronian. Searching for the Jcanncttc. Oar readers will remember tlio crniso of tlio Corn-in to tlioNortli seas in search of the Jeanettc, anil the followeng ac count given by ono of tlio officers of tlio Corwin, Trill bo road with deep interest: "Wo sailed from Onnalaska tbe morning of tbe Stb of Jnno, and on tbe following morning arrived at tbe Seal island?. Here we learned that tbo islanders suf fered from a winter of extremo severity. and that tbo ice had only left the sborcs a few days before our arrival. After spending the day hero fro started in tbe evening for the Arctio ocean. Tbe weather was intensely cold, tbo tber mometer indicating from 20 to 30 degrees below zero. Early next morning, about S o'clock, in tbo latitude CO degrees and 2S minutes and longitude 1GS, wbilo tbe wind was blowing a sharp southwest gale, accompanied by sleet and thick weatber, we fell in with a big ice-pack, which spread away to the northward and westward as far as the eye could reach. CUTTING THEOCGH THE ICE-PACK. "Although a gale was blowing directly on tbe ice-pack, tbo Corwin skirted the pack for several miles to find an opening, but falling in this, ran back and anchored in the lee of the island of Nunivak. That sight the galo ceased, and in the morn ing wo again got under way and stood to the northward under a fnU hcad of steam. "Wo approached the ice-pack again, and, finding no opening, boldly pushed tbe iron-sheathed prow of the vessel into the ice. Tbe ice-wall, which was hero only a few feet high, gave way, and, by taking advantage of short 'leads of clear wa- ter. we made -our wav slowly and care fully through the pack. It wffl give you an idea of tho work which this cost, when I tfll you eere nine days niak-! ine the 3S0 miles to St. Michaels. All , this time wo were surrounded by i ice and in constant danger of be- ing crushed between the huge masses that surrounded ns. The ico varied i in thickness from two to f ortv feet, and in many places it rose fifteen feet above the surface of the water. Lookouts were aloft constantly to give warning of any dangerous ice ahead. Tho voyages were made all the more perilous by the fact that the beads' which are spaces of clear water formed by influence of tbe winds and currents were not numerous, and none of them were longer than a mile. "Whenever we broke through the x there was danger that the 5r would I tiown some of the surrounding isses upon us. "We passed between locks of ico which, had thev closed upon ns, would have crushed tbe stanch little boat like an eggsbelL We passed hugh icebergs, also, which were aground in twelve and fifteen fathoms of water. At last, after nine days and nights of constant watchfulness, we reached clear water, AS ESQCEtfAn VISIT. "Off Cape Bomanzoff, the headland at the mouth of the Yukon river, while we were anchored to the south side of an iceberg, tbe natives from the shore paid the vessel a visit. They came off on the ice about four miles, being attracted by the steamer's smoke. Great was their astonishment at the vessel, the first of the kind that they had seen. They were twelve in number, and, after being as sured that they were friendly by the nsual gestures of throwing the arms above the head, they came on board tne steamer. Tbey were clothed in the usual Esquimaux dress and showed the lirliest curiosity at tne signt of tne machinery and observed all the opera tions on board with close attention. They chatted incessantly to each other and'made a hideous noise. The conver sational tone of all the natives on the coast is pitched in the key of a man hail ing a ship in a storm. They bellow at each other at the top of their voices if only a few feet apart. As their language is full of uncouth sounds and their voices are harsh, the clamor they make may be imagined, iney are as inu oi curiosity as children, and they express their delight by many childish gestures. sevextt segeees below zeeo. "To the interpreter they said the winter had been a very hard one, the most severe one known for many years. They said the ice had shown no signs of breaking np until a day or two before onr arrival. "When at last we arrived at St. Michaels, we had to walk four or five miles on the ice to Teach the settlement, and tbe peo ple there were surprised to see us, have ing no idea that any kind of a vessel could penetrate the ice-pack through which wo had forced our way. Tbey also said the winter had ben terribly se vere, the thermometer falling as low as 40 degrees below zero for weeks at a time, and sometimes even lower, and it was reported at the Mission, a station on the Yukon river, some 409 'mDcs inland, that the thermometer had dropped on one occasion to seventy-two degrees below zero. Only ono day was passed here, and the gallant little Corwin started : i. ,.!. ; , ztu i. nwt.. " pointing towards Behring'a straits. As this is the season when daylight contin ues throughout tbe twenty four hours, it will be seen at once tliat the night of fered no greater obstacle to navigation than tho day proper. , GHASTX.T VILLAGES OF "CKBtEIED DEAD. "On the second day out from St. 3Gchael we reached St. Lawrence island, where it was reported a ;, famine had swept away nearly the wholo population during the previous year. ' The island is ninety miles long from 'pftst to west. Ye steamed along close in I by the shore, working our way through the ice. At last the settlements were reached and each presented the same dreary scene of death and desolation. Xot a sign of life was to be seen any- be found about any of the rude huts ; but in front of these bouses, in a ghast ly row, lay the dead bodies of those who had succumbed to the terrible hunger. They had lain there fifteen months and -we were probably tbe first to look upon them. Their clothes had rotted oft" the bodies, but tho forms were pro served by the cold so that they looked like mummies. Tbe skin was drawn tight over their emaciated faces and lorms, and looked like ancient parch jnent. So perfectly had the dry air pre- served utem luat wo cunm uisunguisu the bodies of the women from tbo .men by the deep tattoo marks on tho chin. which is ono of Jka peculir styles of feminine face oraaaMt. In a few houses bodies were fotwd w-faafous postures, just as tbey telV ir. the last agony of sohtary de.Uu-As -loBg as there wero any survivors w -perform the wrvices. the corpses were placed in tbo regular tows in front of the -huts. At one place jyZQ found fifty bodies side by side, somo - the remains of little children. Hsuufi others were the corpses of old THE TAXOS Ol' STARVATION-. "Tbo usual litter and rufuso which surround tlio Esquimaux huts wore lacking, and thero was not a scrap left of any kind of food. Tbo cleanly gnawil bones allowed that they bad oaten tboir dogs; tbey had even "devoured tbo rata which infested tbo village; tbev bail cbowed up tbo old lnta of walrus hide ovorytbing which would satisfy tbo crav ings of hunger. At last they .had per ir bed miserably, dying by iucbes, with no hope of succor and no cbanco of es cape. At least five hundred of the poor wrelcbes suffered tbis hideous death. To explain this terriblo famine which was as unusual as it was fatal, it must bo added that tlio season was one of unparalleled severity. The natives of this island wero large, robust men and ex pert hunters and fisbormrn. But like most of their race tbey wore improvident and mado no provision for such a winter. Tbe cold set in early and continued with out interruption. Tbe inorcury was 40 degrees below zero for weeks at a time. Tbe cold and the violent storms prevent ed tbom from going out on tbo ice to catch walrus and seal their main de pendence for food in the winter. Tboir scant v stock of meat was soon exhausted; they wero many miles from Siberia and i conui not nave roaencu it aiive in iae i face of the bitter wind. At the north west end of the island we found a settle ment of about 250 people. Thcso had suffered severely from the famine, only about one-half of tho original colony having survived. Tbey bad had a larger stock of provisions than their un fortunate neighbors and thus escaped complete annihilation. IIOIUIIBLE rnAcncES of the natives. "At this settlement two sailors from a wrecked bark were left several years ago. They wore living thero still, hav ing adopted native customs. Ono had taken a native wife, and tue woman s : husband, on attempting to reclaim her. TOR hy the Tll0 CBstoa,8 of the native's are savage and brutal. It ' is usual for tL3 oltl lveowlo, when tbev , feel tliat q, vo k DO longer to an- i w , ),-,. ti, I n,. ...nv.t.rM . tiV on( nf tk -.i ,,..,. i-nrt.v.l n tt. haA e ! stal)bej ,v their sons. If thor fail to ! give warning of their helplessness the children are quick to detect the signs of age and promptly dispatch their parents, generally by beating them over the head. The bodies are seldom buried ; thev are cast to the dogs who devour them. At this place also we had new evidence of some native peculiarities the ease with which they could see at a great dis tance with tbe naked eye, and the mar velous way in which news was transmit ted from the most distant points. A native will describe the dress and appearance of a man who is approaching at a great distance. A white man, even a sharp-eyed sailor can just make out that it is a human figure. So, if any thing occurs on the coast, if a piece of wreck coinos ashore, tho full particulars will be known in a verv short time 1(00 miles from the siwt where it oeenrred. It is a wonderful system of telegraphy, j one native rushing off to ttass the news to another, and thus spreading the intel ligence over hundreds of miles of territory in a single day. The informa tion which was received in this way was always very accurate. nsro the Aitcnc. " From St. Lawrence island the Cor win worked her way over to the coast of Siberia, calling at Plover bay to take in coal, and to obtain information, if possi ble from the natives regarding the miss ing whalers. Many natives seom to know that two vessels were somewhere in the Arctic ocean, bat had neither seen nor beard from them. "We also called at Indian point and the St. Lawrence bay. coast of Siberia, with tbe same results. The Corwin then worked her way through tbe ico through Behring'a straits into the Arctic oeean. In Behrings straits we found a very singular settlement. It was perched on the precipitous son tb era snore oi rung s xsiana, a rocxy, inuo pitable tract about 12 mile long, whose shores rise up sheer from tbe ocean to a height of 600 feel. About 150 people here have burrowed into tbe side of the cliff, making their bouses like sea-bird. "We descried their house a long ways off, but when we approached near by they were shy and would not come out to ns until we made the usual signal that we were well-disposed by waving our hands above our heads. Thev then came off to ns in their seal-skin boats. In rough weather it is impossible to launch a loat from tbis island. The method adopted by the fishermen is this: A man places himself in his boat, which just admits his body through tho small opening tn the top; he then draws a sealskin apron about him, closing up every aperture, and ucs n securely unoor uia arms, nis companions then cast him Ixxiilr from tho cliff, and so great is tbo boatman's skill that should he fall upon his bead he can right himself in a moment with bis paddle. A BABBIES OF ICE. "Off Capo Thomson we communicated with some of tbe whaling fleet found there. Tbey had beard nothing of tbo missing vessels. Wo communicated with tbe natives on the northwest coast of America aud coast of Siberia, and could obtain no tidings either of tbe missing vessels or of the Jeannette. Tho Corwin succeeded in reaching the paral lei of C9 north latitude and 17GVJ west longitude, which is about 110 miles from "Wrangel Land, tho objective point of the Jeannette'a winter quarters. There we found the ice barrier impassable. It was hoped, however, later in tho season. to get to Wrangel Land, probably in August or September, and would remain thero for that purpose, not leaving there until tbe object of the expedition was accomplished or they were forced to re turn on account, of the severity of the weather hopes fob the "jeaxxette. "The results of this voyage show that the Corwin sailed at least six weeks too early from SanErancisco, as sho enconn tcrcd ico in latitude CO, aud it took as much timo to work through the ice for 500 or GOO miles as it would have taken to make the run from San Francisco to the Arctic ocean if there hod been open sea. Tbe experience of Arctio navigators lslbatnooncn sea can be looked for in those high latitudes until August or Sep tember, and then it seems it open only two or three weeks. It seems in me that there is no reason to fear for the safety of the Jeannette, as in all probability sho reached Wrangel Land and went into winter quarters there. It is also pro bable that the crews of tho whalers jo.'ned the Jeannnette. as the last seen of them the two whalers wero not more than forty miles from tho steamer. PLAX8 OF THE 1IELIEF PABTT. "The Corwin this fall will push as far north as possible. At St. Michaels she took on two leims, of ten doga caoh. with sledges. If stopped by the ice the crew will tako to tbo sledges and attempt to reach "Wrangel Land. This point, it is thought, baa never been reached yet. Tho nearest approach to it was made by tho bark Nile, Captain Thomas Loaf , which was forced to stop within fifteen ' miles of it by tbo ico. It is known that thoro is solid land or ground ico there, as no ordinary ico would break tbo current as tbo laud does at tbis point. It has been tbo dream of Arctic explorers to make tbis land tlio basis of supplies, as tbey bolievo tliat it forms tbo shore of tbo open Polar Sa. It was DeLoug'a ambi tion to bo the first to set foot upon it, and it is hoped bo has mot with success. Wrangel Laud is 1&0 miles from tbo maiuland of Siberia. The Corwin has been gathering all the scientific data pos sible on her trip. Observations will bo taken of tho strength aud direction of ocean currents and tides, tbo set and ex tent of ice-floes, soundings, tho charac ter of the bottom of tbo sea, and tho spe cies of food fishes found. In fact, the object will le to gather everything that will help future voyagers in tboir search for the myptery of tho Polar seas."

Jim livvs on a farm a mile from the old man's. "Ye see, boys, continued the speakor, "my boy Jita had a lay mare that h traded a Vearlin bull and a cross-tooth harrow fnr.
