The next day after Jarvis reached Point Barrow he investigated the state of affairs there and found that though in some things the men were pretty badly off, yet in the matter of food things were in much better shape than could have been hoped for last fall. Charles D. Brower, mandger of Liebes & Co.’s whaling station at Cape Smyth (which is about ten miles south from Point Barrow), having quite a large supply of flour and other provisions, took matters in charge last fall when it was seen that the vessels could not get out, and he certainly proved the man In the emergency, and but for his care and management there is no doubt that many would have starved before the relief expedition reached them. As it was, things looked rather blue, but Brower at once gave up all his stores and made all his natives go out into the mountains te kill and bring in wild deer, and it seemed as if more than the usual number of deer wan- dered to the coast last winter, for over 1000 were killed by the natives, and this, together with the seals and whitefish and ducks killed in the spring, eked out the food supply so that when Jar- vis reached there there was enough to last all hands until the latter part of August, at which time the ships could reasonably be expected. True, the daily amount was not bountiful, but It was sufficlent, and when the deer herd arrived Jarvis was enabled to in- crease the daily ration so that to a shipwrecked man it seemed a luxury. In the matter of quarters, however, the men were in bad shape. Brower took all he could Into his own houses, and as his storehouse was full of provisions he could not put that into requisition. So he took Kelly’s old station, a house about 50x25 feet, and into this place seventy-elght men were obliged to be packed. The missioniry, Dr. R. Marsh, had a schoolhouse in which he taught the na- tives, but he did not offer the use of it to the wrecked men. The old Gov- ernment refuge house, which had been built to house 100 men in an emergency, had been sold to the Pacific Steam ‘Whaling Company, and by them leased to E. A. Mcllhenny, who occupied it last winter, but he declined to take in any but the officers of the wrecked ves- sels. So that, as I have said, seventy- eight men were crowded into the 50x25 feet building, and in such cramped quarters it was a very difficult matter to get sufficlent ventilation and still keep the building warm, besides, the great difficulty of keeping the house al the men clean. Mr. Brower used all’ his spare lumber in building bunks, and put two stoves in the house and arranged for a dally ration of ccal and provisions, and had the men been pro- vided with decent quarters all would have been well. When Jarvis arrived there, having authority from the department to take charge of affairs, he at once made such arrangements that twen- ty-five of the men were quartered in Dr. Marsh’s schoolhouse, about twenty-five others in the old Govern- ment house leased by Mr. Mcllhenny, and as by this time Brower's store- house had been pretty well emptied, the rest of the stores:were taken out and the remainder of the seventy-eight were quartered there. Kelly’s old house, being in a deplorable condition, was then torn down and used for firewood. Scurvy had just begun to make its ap- pearance, two men being down with it and two more threatened, but Dr. Call soon got the upper hand of the dis- ease and after that such sanitary rules were established as would prevent a return .of any such trouble. The men were obliged to take regular exercise, and when there was no work to be done they were obliged to go out and play ball, and a game when the ground wag covered with snow and the ther- mometer below zero was certainly a novelty. The situation of the vessels at this time was as follows: The Belvedere in behind the Sea Horse Islands about 45 miles south from Point Barrow; the Rosario close.to the point; the Newport and Fearless about a mile off shore, fifty miles to the eastward; and the Jeanie about thirty miles further east and about four miles off shore, and all, of course, frozen in. The Wanderer had made her way to Herschel Island after she found she could not get out, and was known to be all right, as she could draw on the supplies at that place. All the crews of the vessels stayed by the ships to save hauling the supplies ashore, ex- cept a portion of the crew of the Bel- vedere, which was sent up to the sta- tion at Cape Smyth because that ves- 8el was much shorter as to provisions than the other - shipe.. Putting aside the fact that the vessels were caught in the ice, fortune seemed to smile on the wrecked men, for besides the deer that were killed in such numbers the Navarch, which had been caught in the icepack and had drifted to the north- west last fall, drifted back f:ur times, and each time supplies were taken out of her to swell the general store. When she came in the last time and was so close in to the beach all the sleds were repalred and preparations were made to get a good supply of coal ashore, when one morning that vessel was dis- covered to be in flames and nearly con- sumed. Two men of the crew of the wrecked Orca, who had gone out to her, were accused of having done the deed by some of the natives, who had seen them start the fire, but the men said they had made a small fire to keep warm, and it had got beyond thelr con- trol, and declared they had not done it intentionally. This happened before Lieutenant Jar- vis arrived at the point, and, as Mr. Brower did not feel he had authority to punish the men, he was obliged to let the incident pass, but he states that ail the circumstances point to an in- tention to fire the ship, and thinks the men did it to get out of hauling the coal, and this when the coal was in- tended to keep them warm! Of course all the coal on the Navarch was burned in the ship, and there was in conse- quence a scarcity of fuel all the win- ter, but the men managed to keep warm somehow until the weather moderated in the spring and fires were needed only for cooking. The food question hav- ing worked itself out with the help of the deer that the Government had sent, and Jarvis having seen that the men were as well housed as was possible un- der the conditions, everything went along smoothly, and all they could do was to make the best of the situation and walt as patiently as they could un- til the Bear could get there in the spring and release them. After the Bear had landed the over- land relfef expedition on the 16th of last December she steamed back to Un- alaska, reaching there on the 23d. She had been ordered to ‘winter at this place so as to be all ready to start north in the spring as soon as Captain Tuttle thought the ice would be broken up enough for him to get into the Arc- tic Ocean. In the spring everything was got in readiness, and on the 14th of June the Bear left Unalaska and started on her Wway north. On the 18th she reached St. Lawrence Island, but, although no ice had been seen up to that time, she Wwas turned back by the ice later in the day when she tried to reach Indian Point on the Siberfan cpast. The next day ice was encountered again, but she finally worked through it to St. Law- rence Bay, Siberia, reachin~ there on the 22d. At this place she met the steam whaler Willlam Bayless, and learned from her that Lo&'f’ had re- turned to Cape Prince of ales*from Point Barrow. The following day the Bear steamed over to Capée Prince of Wales and Lopp came off and gave Captain Tuttle all the news of the ex- pedition up to the time he had left Point Barrow. ¥ Learning that the wrecked men were badly in need of clothing the Bear steamed back to St. Michael, where a supply of underclothing was obtained, and then proceeded on her way fur- ther north. She reached Point Hope on the 15th of July, and I came on board and .reported, and, after giving all the news I . Was more astonished than I have ever been in my life before by recelving in return the news of the war and the destroying of the Spanish fleet at Manila, for the Bear was the first vessel in the Arctic Ocean, and every- thing that had happened since last No- vember was news to us. On the evening of the 16th the Bear steamed away again for Point Barrow. In answer to sig- nals from the shore we anchored off Point Lay on the evening of the 18th, ! in the morning we made fast to and soon a boat came alongside, and Captain Sherman of the wreckedwhaler Orca, together with several natives and members of the wrecked vessels, came on board. They had come down the coast from Cape Smyth with a let- ter from Jarvis telling Captain Tuttle of the situation. From Sherman we learned that the ice was verv heavy to the northward, and he did not think we would be able to get much further at present. After several fruitless attempts and setbacks, on the 28th at about 8 o'clofik the ground ice at Cape Smyth, right oppo- site the station. Jarvis soon came oft and later the doctor, and right glad we were to see them and get together again. After he had made his report to the captain Jar- left St. Michael on the following day and reached Unalaska on the 31st, after a very rough passage and a sucession of head winds. Here we shipped two more of the wrecked men on the Eng- lish ship Ilala. thus leaving 91 now on‘ board to be landed at Seattle. Al- though the Bear made a very quick passage up to Cape Smyth and had good weather from there down to St. | Michael, our good fortune deserted us after we left that place, for we have been having head winds nearly all the | time and the passage has been a very | rough one. But here we are again, after an absence of nine months and a half, with a consclousness of having successfully performed the task al- lotted to us. E. P. BERTHOLF.

The next day most of the men were on board, but the drift ice began to get heavy and we were obliged to move into a little bight in the ground ice to escapg it. The next day, however, the win came out from the southward and westward, and on the 1st of August the Bear was jammed tight up against the ground ice by the pac’ and we were in the same positionas the vessels were last fall, only there was hope for us because it was early and the water was not freezing. The only thing we could do now was to wait for a northeast wind to take the pack off shore. On the 3d the wind increased from the southwest and there was a pressure so that the port side of the vessel was pushed in a couple of inches. Luckily, however, the pressure ceased soon and no serious damage was done. The Bear was the first yessel to reach Cape Smyth this spring, but the day after she got there the Jeannette came along and made fast near us, and she was now in the same fix we were. Inside the ground jce there was open water clear to the beach, and if we could have gotten in there before the pack came we would have been all right. Meanwhile the Be'vedere had freed herself from the jce that had made around her during the winter and was only walting until the drift ice cleared from the shoals outside her to get out and go down. The Rosario had been crushed in a pressure some time before the Bear ar- rived; the Newport and the Fearless were in sight in open water close to Point Barrow and waiting for a chance to get out, and the Jeannie was still to be heard from. On the evening of the 3d, however, she hove in sight, and as the ground ice had geme off above Cape Smyth all three vessels came down inside and made fast inside the ridge we were fast to. On the th we tried to blast through the ridge so as to get inside, but the ice was grounded in fifteen fathoms of water and powder had little or no effect on it. There was now a long succession of unfavorable winds and calms until the 15th, when the pack began to loosen and by mid- night there was only about 50 yards of ice outside of us. The next morning the ice freed from around the Jean- nette, but it was keyed in around us and it took four hours of backing and filling under full steam for the Bear to clear herself, but we finally got out at noon on the 16th and steamed to the southward. Meanwhile the Newport, Fearless and Jeannie had gone down in- side to clear water and were waliting for us to get out and give them a sup- ply of provisions and coal, so they could get downrto Port Clarence, where their tender was waiting for them. After giving the vessels sufficient coal and provision to last them till they got to a place they, could procure more the Bear steamed away to the southward, having on board 93 officers and sailors of the wrecked vessels. We reached Point Hope on the 20th of August, where we picked up nine more, the crew of the schooner Louise J. Ken- ney,- which had gone ashore at this place. This made 101 in all. Two of these were shipped on the Northern Light when we stopped in_ Kotzebue Sound on our way down and six more left us at St. Michael when we reached that place on the 25th of August.

The fifth stage of Mr. Roosevelt’s career was embodied in his service as Police Commissioner. Other Commis- sioners have come and gone and their records are more or less prosaic, but the history of Theodore Roosevelt stands out again Picturesque, dramatic and ,allve with the intensity of the man’s nature, an intensity which differ- entlates him at every step of his career from his predecessors or successors. As Police Commissioner Mr. Roosevelt e made New York seethe with excitement for a year. Disguised, he visited at night the various precincts, seeing for himself and testing the probity and capability of his corps. By day he fought the other Police Commissioners, he upset old-time rules and enforced old-time “blue laws.” The sixth phase of Mr. Roosevelt's career wis brief, but most satisfactory, and was embraced in the short time of his service as Assistant Secretary of the Navy. A story so characteristic of the man as the one related of him in Washington at a recent dinner party largely made up of army and navy | officers is worth repeating. It was sald | that Mr. Rooseveit, shortly after his appointment to office, asked for an ap- | propriation of $300,000 for ammunition, | powder and shot for the use of the navy. This appropriation was made, and a few months later the Assistant Secretary of the Navy made another application. This time he requested $500,000. When he was examined by the proper authorities in connection with the application he was asked what had been done with the first $800,000 worth of ammunition. Looking through his spectacles, Mr, Roosevelt said, blandly: “Every cent of it has been used in buying powder and shot for practice, and every bit of the powder and shot has been fired.” | He was then asked what he was going | to do with the $500,000 he had recently | requested, and he replied, with the | same vigor and determination and also | With characteristic sweetness: “Going to use every ounce of that, too, within the next thirty days in prac- tice shooting."” A prominent navy man, who told the story, said: “How much the magnifi- cent shooting of the American navy was due to this costly but necessary practice it is impossible for us to say precisely.” The seventh phase of Mr. Roosevelt's career we all know. As colonel of the | magnificent regiment of Rough Riders he has shown himself to be true to his | own ideal, and his country has been quick to recognize it and show its ap- preciation of his heroism. The Roosevelt homestead is an ideal | country seat, and the Roosevelt family | a very old one In the neighborhood of Oyster Bay. The house is large, home- like and countrified—quite unpreten- tious. It crowns the very topmost peak of Sagamore Hill. At Oyster Bay Mr. Roosevelt's inter- est is in his home, and his greatest di- version he finds In the pranks of his babies, who all resemble their father. ‘When very youne Mr. Roosevelt mar- ried a Miss Alice Lee of Boston, who lived but two years, and died leaving a little daughter, now nearly grown. Mr. Roosevelt's present wife was Miss Edith Carow, who had always been an intimate friend of the Roosevelt fam- ily. Mrs. Roosevelt is a most accom- | piished and charming woman—a firm believer in her husband’s talents and remarkable ability, and more ambi- tious for him than he perhaps is for himself. Mrs. Roosevelt is of medium height, with fair complexion, dark eyes and hair, with a wonderful charm of manner. She dresses very simply, al- ways in the latest fashion, wears few jewels and only very handsome ones. While Mrs. Roosevelt is unquestionably the greatest spur to her husband in his public career, and while her ambition for him is unbounded, she herself shrinks from publicity or public activ- ity in every form. There are six little Roosevelts, and a cieht of these romp- ing, fair-haired, bare-legged, joyous:® children clambering about their father is one calculated to inspire confidence unlimited in the man who as soldler was equally beloved by cowboys and dudes and as husband and father is so frankly idolized. When one first ap- proaches the Roosevelt home at Oyster Bay the impression is that there are more children and doe~ about the place than one has seen for many a long year in a family group. Children ranging from all ages, apparently from the baby in arms to the lad of 11 or 12, all happy, free and unrestrained, full of energy and sunshine. and on terms of most absolute freedom with both parents, dancing about and around mother and father, it is certainly a domestic pic- ture to linger over. Next to wife and children Mr. Roose- velt apparently is on most intimate terms with a half dozen or more mag- nificent speciments of dogs. Little and big, the dogs have the freedom of the house. In spite of his years of celebrity, Theodore Roosevelt is still a very young man. His career as a politician has Ween interrupted by literarv work of value. He has written a history of the naval battles of 1812, descriptions of hunting trips of a ranchman, a history of New York and many papers on var- jous questions of politicc and outing exercises. Indeed, of himself Mr. Roosevelt says: “Literature is my profession. Any usefulness that 1 may have depends in my view upon my willingness to quit politics at any time. If the people want me In politics I gladly accept the trust. The fundamental proposition of the new system is that every American citi- zen has a right to serve the public (pro- vided that his services are needed), it on his merits he is able to show that he is the man most capable of filling the position he seeks, and all he is required to do is to show this superior capacity in fair competition with other American citizens. In other words, the system is one of common honesty and of fair play for all, and therefore it is essentially American and essentially democratic.” It says plainly enough if ' Theodore Roosevelt is the man who has shown a superior capacity in fair competition with other American citizens to serve the public in a position he believes he has the right to seek, well and good. Theodore Roosevelt will do his honest best to gain the position and to fill it honorably. As to the purity of Mr. Roosevelt’s motives, not even his flercest antagon- ists can doubt. z ADVERTISEMENTS. e R R T [ s R S Rl e T —3-8-8-8-8-8-8-88a- We offer the following : f T : ; i : 1 ; * latest tnts, COUNTRY ORDERS CAREFULLY AND PROMPTLY FILLED.
