CORWIN.
The
revenue
cutter Corwin,
which left San Francisco last July
on a cruise to the northern son?
has returned. The lieutenant in
charge gives the following ac-
count to a Chronicle reporter.
After a.pleasant run of eleven
days we arrived at Ounalaska,
where we took on coal. We went
next to -the seal islands in the
Behring "sea, where we tarried one
day, and thence to' St. Matthew's
island, which was reported to be
infested with Polar bears. Several
of the officers and the crew went
ashore, but after a five-hours'
hunt, during which a few ducks
were shot, saw signs, but did not
discover any bears. At St. Law
rence island we anchored off an
Indian village, and searched for
Putnam. No sigus of life were
visible, and on going ashore skele
tons were to be seen lying in the
huts, and all of the inhabitants of
CRUISE OF THE
village were dead. Cruising
along the eastern and northern
coast of the island, we anchored
oil a village at Northwest cape,
and learned from the Indians that
during the winter there had not
been any strangers on the island.
While crossing Plover bay on
Sunday, August Gth, we spoko the
schooner Leo, northern bound,
and towed her into the bay. and
later out to sea.
Wo then sailed up the coast
making inquiries at the various
settlements about Putnam, but
not obtaining any information un
til arriving at St. Lawrence bay,
near the point where he was lost.
The Indians related that -six days
after the Corwin had takcyi off the
crew of the Rodgers, an ice floe
was blown into the bay, on which
was the black and discolored body
of Master Putnam. A revolver,
part of a dog sled and the skeleton
of a dog that had apparently been
""lulled or 00fl were discovered
near by. The superstitious Indi
ans did not touch the remains, but
let them stay upon the ice, and a
few days later the floe was blown
out to sea and north through
the straits. The Indians are ex
pecting a reward for their kindness
to the crew of the Rodgers, and
it ought to be given them. Pass
ing next through Behring straits
the Corwin arrived on August
10th, at Point Barrow, and after
communicating with the signal
station went north, but soon met
with a solid ice pack which checked
further progress. We reached 71
deg., 46 min., about twenty-five
miles north of Point Barrow, the
farthest point ever attained by the
Corwin. The midnight sun shin
ing upon the wide waste of ice
bergs in this cold and desolate re
gion presented a grand jmd im
pressive scene. We returned to
point Barrow in time to meet a
snowstorm and thence went down
the coast, to the Arctic mine. The
mine is located on the mainland of
Alaska, some distance within the
Arctic circle, near Cape Lisbon.
It is a steep bluff 150 feet high, in
which are numerous coal veins, ex
tending from the top to the sandy
beach below, whence the trace is
finally lost in the water. The
United States owns the mine. We
got twenty tons of coal on board
in one day, taking it all from the
surface. The coal was of a semi
anthracite quality and very satis
factory, and will be of great use
to the steam whalers sailing in the
Arctic waters. On our way home
we called at Snaumagin island and
looked for a Mr. Clarke, a witness
to a murder committed in Ounga
on the 4th of last July, but ho had
hidden away and could not be dis
covered. "At Killisnoo, October 23d, the
agent of the Northwest Trading
Company reported an Indian out
break to the. naval authorities in
Sitka and asked for immediate as
sistance to be sent to that station
to protect the depot and the lives
of the company's employes, who
were in danger of being murdered.'
Besides the Corwin there was then
in port the United States steamer
Adams, Commander E. C. Merri
man, who with Lieutenant Healy
of the Corwin, at once determined
to send the desired aid. Accord
ingly fifty sailors and sixteen ma
rines, in charge of Lieutenant
Bartlett, U. S. N., and Lieutenant
H. K. Oilman, 1 7. S. M. C, with
small arms, a twelve-pound how
itzer and a Oatling gun, were
placed on the Favorite, which
started for Killisnoo at JJ a. .m. on
August 2-itlu followed at daylight
by the Corwin, and on the follow
ing day both vessels reached Kill
isnoo, a small village on Chatham
strait about eighty miles from
Sitka. The accidental killing of
an Indian in a whaling-boat b'
the bursting of a bomb used in the
capture of whales was the primary
cause of all the trouble and so an
gered the Indians that they seized
the steam launch and the whaling
boat in which tho accident occurred
and threatened to kill the two
white men who happened at the
time to be in the boat in company
with the unlucky Indian. Two
as a peace offering by the savages
hundred blankets were demanded
of agent Vandcrbilt of the North
western Trading Company, who in
lieu of complying with these de
mands took his family on board the
Favorite and immediately started
for Sitka to obtain assistance, as
stated. The Indians were 'sur
prised on the return of the Corwin
and did not offer any resistance.
The vessels came to anchor, the
whaling-boats were retaken, the
marines and sailors were landed
and the village surrounded. The
canoes were seized, the Indians
sent aboard the Corwin and the
white prisoners liberated. After
listening to the address by Captain
Merriman the Indians were per
mitted to go ashore, being told
that if they did not bring back
400 blankets in atonement for
their violence that the next day all
of their canoes would be seized
and all of their huts burned.- ThV
whit(fprisoners""were found to have
escaped without injury, but had
the Indians been possessed of suf
ficient liquor it is believed that
the boats and the village would
have been destroyed and all the
white residents killed.
"The next day eighty-one blan
kets and half blankets, with a small
supply of calico and drilling, were
received on the Corwin, with the
intelligence that the Indians had
deserted their homes and taken to
the woods. The bombardment of
the village was then begun with
the cannon of the Corwin and the
Gatlin gun. The sailors and
mariners from the Favorite were
again put on shore, the canoes
which had been seized were set
adrift, the village was fired and
by the use of axes its destruction
was completed. In the mean time
the Indians, with the exception of
he chiefs who came on board the
Corwin, had retreated to the woods,
but the firing was continued for
fifteen or twenty minutes, during
which time the settlement was
thoroughly shelled, and it was
then deemed safe to land. The
houses of two peaceful chiefs and
two or three stone houses were
spared, but the remaining build
ings in the village were burned.
A council of peace was held that
evening between Captain Merri
man and the Indian chiefs, who
confessed the unwarranted hostili
ties of which the Indians had been
guilt', and promised better con
duct in the future. Peace having
been thus summarily restored, the
Corwin returned to Sitka and was
followed the next day by the
Favorite with the prisoners. An
armed force was then sent from
the Adams to be stationed for a
month at Killisnoo, to protect the
whites in the event of any further
hostilities on the pait of the
Indians.
The cruise thus narrated is the
best ever made by the Corwin.
She has been absent six months ;has
sailed in that time about 18,200
miles, which is 3000 miles in excess
of any previous cruise, has visited
more stations than usual, and
sailed twenty miles farther to the
north. Among the curious relics
of the cruise exhibited by Lieuten
ant Reynolds are an Esquimaux
pipe of wood and lead, specimens
of fossil ivory, water-tight baskets,
eating vessels, etc.,' made by the
Indians of native grasses, a curi
ously carved wooden duck, inlaid
with abalono shell, two walrus
tusks. weighing eight pounds
each, and a black-bear cub, (J
moths old, captured at St. Mich
ael's, off the" northern coast of
Alaska. The cub is very tame,
will follow the officers around
like a dog, and climb the rigging
like a sailor. Capt. Ilealy went to
Oakland yesterda, leaving the
cutter in command of Lieutenant
Reynolds, who states that the
Corwin will not take another long
cruise for some time lo come, but
will remain in port until next
spring.
N. P. Depot and Townsite.
The question of depot sites is
one of absorbing interest in the
older towns of Montana on the
line of the Northern Pacific. In
Missoula it has been determined
and known for some time; in
Helena it is determined but not
known. In Bozeman, the first
old town on the. line which knew
prosperity before the advent of- the
railroad was assured, Col. Lam
born, land commissioner, fixed
upon the site for depot grounds,
round houses, etc., on his recent
trip to the territory. The site
selected is on the east end, tlnee
miles west of Fort Ellis, which is
situated at the head of the Galla
tin valley. The company held a
section here, about 200 acres of
which was available for town-site
purposes, and P. W. McAdow
added his 400 acres adjacent.
These the company will plat and
sell as the Northern Pacific ad
dition to the town of Bozman, re
serving twenty-five acres for de
pot, round house, etc. grounds,
and allowing Mr. McAdow to re
servethe grounds upon whieir His"
flouring mill now stands. This
property will be placed on the
market in two or three months.
The road will reach Bozeman
early in the ensuing year, and
thus tap the fertile fields of the
Gallatin where farming has, been
carried on with rich returns for
twenty years.
Mr. C. Fosdick, 52 Hartwell
street. Fitchburg, Mass., writes
that he used St. Jacobs Oil for rheu
matism with a magical result. The
men in the works, of which he is
superintendent, says there is noth
ing in the world to equal it as a
remedy for neuralgia, sprains, etc.
