ON - A LOSEll' ISLAND.;
ttobbed. Wrecked and Nearly Starved In
the Heart of Behi tag Sea.
Ivan Petroff, the census enumerator
for Alaska, had a narrow escape during
bis last visit there,. from - which he has
just returned. Dr. C. Hart Merriuii and
others, whocaine down with ltim in the
Albatross, tell the Aslorian that when
be was picked up he was looking exceed
ingly thin, and was all but starved by
his experience on Numivok island.
Mr. Petroff had arranged with a sea
captain in 1860 for taking the census of
the island. There are 600 Bemi-barbar-ous
natives there. The island is dreary
and rock-bound, and about 130 miles- in
circumference. It lies in the heart of
Behring sea and is little frequented by
whites. The sea captain failed to keep
his promise and Mr. Petroff concluded to
take the census himself. He was car
ried upon the revenue cutter, and it was
ordered to call again in a month and
take him off. He found the natives
quite hostile. When they found he bad
not brought money to trade with them
they would not even give him a hut to
lie in. -
He bought a skin-boat and some pro
visions, however, and finally arranged to
get a rude hut.
In this he stored the purchases. One
night most of his belongings were stolen,
besides his gold spectacles. Then he
loaded up what he had left for a trip
around the island. He was out two days
when a storm came up, overturning his
boat and he had to swim for his life. He
could not see'very well and had a hard
time to reach the shore. There he met
more natives ; he was refused anything
to eat. For two days he had nothing
except berries. Finally he succeeded in
getting around to where he started, and
by this time the natives were somewhat
friendlier and supplied him with a little
food.
When the Corwin picked him up he
was nearly starved, and was yet quite
thin when transferred to the Albatross.
HE BEAT THE BULLET.
A Bangor Man's Remarkable Race With
a Confederate Soldier.
It was in a well-known hotel in Ban
gor. A party of gentlemen were con
versing on one subject and another, says
the Bangor News. During a lull in the
conversation one gentleman noticed a
scar on the hand of another and interro
gated him as to the cause. The other
answered that he received it in a very
curious way,' and told the following
story in regard to it :
I got that wound in the battle of Get
tysburg. I had been, fighting "-all , day
and felt very tired, and so. sat-down on a
rock and shot from therey '. .-.
. I was just loading up my gun .when a
long, lean, lank fellow 'darted by me,
making for the woods like a streak of
greased lightning. I up with my gun
and let drive at him, but he didn't drop,
and, as I had just shot 999 and didn't
want to lose the thousandth, I started
after him. ; . -
. I never saw a man run so fast in all
my adven turous life, and I could see I
was gaining oh him, but every once in a
while I lost sight of him behind a tree
or rock. .
... I noticed a lull in the figb.fr,, and glanc
ing aside I saw-both armies bad stopped
fighting and were straining their eyes to
see the race. ' -, -: '
r That raised my courage, and I forgot
all about being tired. Just then I -made
a spurt of speed, and as I did so I felt
something strike my hand, which spread
out like the fan of a windmill.
. Well, to make a long story short, I
caught up with him and was about to
collar him when he turned about and
tried to stab- me. I dodged his blow,
and just then something hit him and he
fell over dead. . ... - i
I sat down beside him to rest, and as
I did bo I noticed blood trickling down
my hand. On closer investigation I
found that there was a bullet hole in the
balm of my hand. .
The dead man bad a bullet in his
breast, and I am positive in my belief
that both wounds were made by the
same bullet, and that it was the same
bullet that I had fired at the Confed
erate. .
The race was so hot that I caught up
with and passed it some time during my
chase. That is why I now wear that
scar.
A SNAKE IN HIS STOMACH.
Death of James H. O'Grady, wno Thought
He Was Thus Afflicted.
James H. O'Grady, aged 36 years, who
died in Syracuse, N. Y., recently, ac
quired wide fame in medical circles as
the man with a snake in his stomach.
O'Grady was a canalboat captain until
three years ago, when depressed and de
bilitated, by his hallucination he left that
occupation to do laboring work at such
times as he felt able. He imagined that
he could feel the snake moving around
inside of him, and thought at times that
it attempted to crawl out of his throat,
but was prevented from doing so on ac
count of its size. He and ' his friends
estimated that it must be at least ten
feet long. ; He believed that he swallowed
the reptile while drinking water from a
pool about ten years ago, and that ever
since then it bad slowly grown until it
was at last large enough to manifest its
presence.
The local papers noticed the strange
case, last fall. The story traveled over
the country, and the result was that
O'Grady began to receive letters recom
mending remedies for the removal of the
snake until about 100 had been received.
Some of the letters were - evidently writ
ten by practical jokers, while others
were apparently sincere. One man
recommended O'Grady to run a pair of
tongs down his throat, fasten it to the
snake, pull it out and put salt on its tail.
Another man, who said he had been
troubled the same, way, advised O'Grady
to first starve the snake ; then he was to
put a pan of warm milk in front of his
mouth and catch the reptile as it came
out to eat, . -
. The widow said today that she would
permit no post mortem examination to
be made; She was sure that a snake
had bored through, her husband's
stomach and into his lungs, causing con
sumption, and that was all she cared to
know about, it. A friend of O'Grady
said that he "had seen the snake make
its way up the man's throat, ard try to
get out. P'Grady could not go to bed,
but sat in: a chair, and in this chair be
died.. .' ., . . . ,
A number of local physicians visited
the man out of curiosity. The one who
whs last to attend him said there was no
question that the .man died of consum
tion. ','Hewas troubled with intestinal
: : 1 I
gas," said the physician, "anJ this mov
ing around inside of him caused him to
imagine he had a snake in his stomach.
It would be impossible for a snake to
live inside of any person, but a great
many ignorant persons believe that they
have some sort of a reptile inside of
them. It has been proved that all
snakes require fresh air, and that they
could not possibly live in a man's
stomach. . -

A Lady Lion Tamer
Col. Boone, who is now in this coun
try exhibiting his horde of performing
lions, which are performed free and un
muzzled in a circus ring is accompanied
by a female lion trainer a "lion queen,"
as the show bills style her. Her name
is Millie Carlotta. She is not over
twenty years old, and is said to be as
brave as she is beatiful. She enters the
enclosure accompanied by her noble
patrol dog "Saxon" and. to see her in the
arena surrounded by half a dozen
thousand-pound, lordly lions, directing
their movements with as little apparent
concern as if they were a lot of harmless
cats, makes the spectator shudder for an
instant. Col. Boone is authority for the
statement that women are better adapted
for performing with wild beasts, than
men. Be this as it .may we will not con
trovert the remark made by a lady, who,
upon hearing this statement of Col.
Boone's suggested that this was a fact
and that only a woman was capable of
