It is four months travel from Petersburg. Something of its isolation may be guessed when I tell you that until we arrived there Sredni-Kolynsk had not been visited by anyone from the wide world for 80 years. “Think of it. Nearly halfa lifetime, years in which no knowledge of the outside world, no dispatches, noth- ing, ever reached the inhabitants. Thepeople welcomed us with open arms for we brought them news. “Life with them issimply existence. It is too cold to do anything but try to keep warm. They have no indus- tries, no occupation, except of course that they have to obtain food for themselves. “Speaking of food,” and DeWindt did not look as though the memory was pleasant, “I haye had walrus and seal so much that I have not yet lost the taste. The hardships we endured were bad enough, but the food was worse. How, we longed for a taste of bread when our flour ran out.” DeWindt will remain in San Fran- cisco a few days before leaving for Denver.

Tacoma, Wash., August 6.—On the body of a woman floating in the bay at St. Michael, drafte and gold to the amount of $15,000 have been found. The body was identified as that of a wowan known in lower Yukon as “Becky.” The money was turned over to the federal authorities, while an effort is made to trace her heirs. “Becky” had been employed asa domestic in Seattle. Several years ago she went to Rampart, on the Yukon, started a boarding house and made a large profit. She was returning to the states when she fell off the wharf and was drowned.
