and the further their labor advftned
the more they became sheltered.
Undents ultornntely paced up and
down and stood motionless, evidently
shrinking from any approach to the
srie of the osploslon.
In about an hour the doctor return
ed, brlmtlng with him Allamotit, the
Amnrlcoti, on the stodge, wrapped up
In 'lie folds of the tent. The doKS were
so eslinusled from starvation that they
could scarcely draw It alonir, and they
had begun lo uriitw their harness.
While tho hut was being dug out
llio doctor went foraging about, and
had tho Kood fortune to find a little
etovp, almost undamaired by the explo
sion, lie soon restored It to working
trim, nnd, by the time the hut was
completed, hnd filled It with nood nnd
got It IlKhtnd. Deforo long It was roar
ing, and diffusing n genial warmth on
all sides.
The American was broueht In and
laid on blankets, and the four English
men seated themselves around the fire
lo enjoy their scanty meal of biscuit
and hot tea, the last remains of the
provisions on the sledge. Not a word
was spoken by Ilatteras, and the oili
er respected his silence.
When the meal was over, the doctor
rose and went out, making a lgn to
Johnson to follow,
"Come, Johnson," he said, "our goods
or scnttered In all directions. We had
better pick them up as fast a possi
ble, for tho snow may fall at any mo
ment, ana Uisn It would be qulto use
less to look for anything."
"Don't 1st us lose a minute, then,"
replied Johneon. "Fire and wood
Uieee are our chief wants."
"Very well, you search on side and
Til take the other, and we'll take from
the center to the circumference."
This task occupied two hour, and
all they discovered was a little alt
meat, about fifty pounds of pemmlcan,
throe sacks of biscuits, a small stock
of chocolate, five or six pints of brandy,
and about two pounds of coffee, picked
up been by bean off the ten.
Neither blankets, nor hammocks, nor
clothing, were found all had been con
sumed In the devouring flame.
This slender store of provisions
would hardly last three weeks, and
they had wood enough to supply the
stove for about the same time.
CepL J lot tents, with Ilell and tho
doctor, had been away on an exploring
expedition when the mutiny occurred.
The morning after the little party hod
built their snow house, he called John
son to htm.
"Tell mo all the particulars of the
mutiny on tho brig" ho said.
"Well." began the sailor, "almoet Im

him. Bhandon mads no attempt at dis
cipline. He made them believe that
their privations and tolls were at an
end. Heonomy was entirely disregard
ed. "A biasing fir was kept up In the
stove, nnd the men were allowed to eat
and drink all them wanted. Not only
was tea and coffee at their disposal,
but all the liquor. On men who had
been so long deprived of strong drink,

"It was about the tth or 3th ot
