"The writer tells the thrill Ing story of one Jack Hayes and his companions and of the illgnt or a brutal ship captain wno was em ployed, by one of the big whaling comnanles. Here is Underwood's story as furnished the Washington correspondent of The Journal: The captains end officers of whaling Miit hn nlv their -vocation of laughter for profit in the Bering sea and Arctic ocean, have a peculiar kind ; of reliaion.

At times, bow ever, the monotony of this treatment is varied by other methods, more scien tific, and the crtelty Is more refined.

" rTtWltbOW . 990. .. . ..".--, The previous fall, 1905, after being sixteen months in unexplored country, Hayes found himself, without, food, at je jr V,IC w 1.110 nwi uiv u 7jmm w& Alaska. He had a team of dors, some fur. and more than IJ.000 in bills, which - he had concealed In a belt next to his akin; but, as ho was without food, one sack of flour- wan worth to him more ' than all of the gold and other minerals , In Alaska. To the southwest. 550 miles distant, was the town of Candle creek and he knew that he could find food there in plenty he also knew that number of whaling vessels were frosen ; in every year near i the mouth of the Mackenzie river, about 400 miles-to the . eastward along the bieax, cold ana bar ren coast of the Arctic ocean. "It was imperative that he do some thing, and do it quicktiy, so ne elected ' to make for Herschelf Island at the mouth of ; tho Mackenzie river, which ;. ; Journey be successfully ' accomplished, killing se&js and otner animals to sus tain himself and Ills dors en route. "He expected- to get. food from the missionary, but in this he was dlsan pointed, for the season's supplies had . rauea to come in tne previous summer, and the missionary himself was on short rations., llayes then made a trip .of i - thirty mues to the wnann anio bow head, Captain Cook, which had been fro an in for the winter. Tha captain ef . tne uownead rcrusea to sen llayes any or nis rooa aitnougn ne naa an aouna ' anoe. but stated that he waa willing to y ahip him aboard the vessel as a member vr me prew on a one-nunareaia lay that is, he was willing that for every vein aunoreo dollars worm or wnaieDone . that was taken the following summer, - Hayes would be Riven one dollar. Al though a miner, Hayes knew, or rather - naa neara, sunicient about the methods t whaJina- cantaina to tlu na ihinia on signinfr the articles, and a bargain by "wnicn ii was agreed mat Hayes wouta " VIVA tm V I a VrnvfK a K n .. ,IA .mJ - that he would be allowed in - return . therefor to sleep -with the crew, and to . snare witn tnem tneir dally rations, was v unuiy raaae. - - i : Captala Cook Introduced. 1 'Captain Cook, however, insisted that Hayes give into bis care the rifle and six-shooter which he carried, as well as : ids ammunition, tie noticed mat, in i tne forward part or the shin, where tha j crew's fliiarterr are located, there were ; no capstan bars or marlln spikes, or , implements of any Kind that could be J converted into weapons of defense or of- jense in case or emergency, and as he i had a considerable sum of money on his person, he was rather interested In this t condition of affairs; but, as the captain had bis wife aboard the ship, he thought ' f.rrM! ft,.mut be aU .right He Bad streams, and with tha simple faith of men of nis Kind, ne couia not Dei i eve but that everything must be all right when a woman was about; aO he settled down to lead the life of a whaler and to pass the time until the spring would release the vessel from the ice and per mit him to make his way southward. This was la January, and in a placa where the cold is so intense that the quicksilver drops out of sight in the thermometer. About two weeks after his arrival at the vessel he accom oanied thi crew on one of their dally Pll- rrimagca to tne land to cut ana naui ce. which is melted for water. These trios are mads in turn by-the members ox tne crewf aoout six men Demg nar nessed to a sieJ. like so many mules and. accompanied by a coupie or -offi cers, driven to and from tha Ice fields. On this particular occasion, the expedi tion was accompanied or tne rirst ana fourth officers, the latter a Portuguese negro, and the boat ateerer. When the sailors were harnessed. DreDaratorr rto returning to tha eh Id. one of them, a youth about It years oli named Rudolph, dropped his cape; as he stooped to recover it tha fourth officer gave him a kick. "Rudolch formerly had been a Texaa cowboy, and his spirit had not yet been broken by the treatment which be had received In the north. He also was a fighter of no mean ability. The kick Infuriated him, a sea of blood ran be for his eyes, and, rushing at the negro, ha downed him with a craahlng punch manded his guns and ammunition, and next morning, barnassed his dog team and started for the mission. The mis sionary was short of food, but gave him a ten-pound sack of rolled oata from his scanty store. He went to the police headau&rters. but learned that their aupply of provlBlona, like those of the chained.

Bouvler was given one - dollar for bis thirty-nine months' work on the vessel, but he ac cepted It willingly glad to escape wim his life. He had kept a diary of his trip, and ha confirmed every statement that Hayea had made in regard to the assault upon Rudolph, and also Telated a number of other crimes alleged to have been committed by Cook and his hired thugs.
