San Francis 10.— The revenue
s'.earner Bear, \fived at San Fran
cisco some ton numbered among
her passengers hilt, powerful, good
looking man Vincent. He had
been viicked uppverninent vessel on
the shore of tld ia U:a Sea, about ten
miles south oiNavarin, and had a
strange story phis adventures from
the time whenfuary, 1835, he first
boarded the \Fapoleon. Mr. Vin
cent was read his story, which he
did in nretch the following
terms; “I now 38 years
old and v* at Martha's Vine
vard, and sim a youngster always
tad a liking ® sea, and thought I
could stand tf ell and might just as
well earn mvpoing North as any
where else. "Ts ago last February I
shipped on btjvhaler Napoleon,along
with thirfy-sffi and to-day I often
wonder how jd the luck to come
into San Ki> bay once more, for I
never thougit it again. After we
got started wifight all well until we
got up tow#! Navarin—that was
about May She ice do aid in upon
us, and it w;liko taking an empty
eggshell in iid, the ship went in so
quickly, mid a narrow squeak of it
to divide iqt>ur gangs of nine each
and take tOsits. Of the four boat
loads, I gue tard now the Fleetwing
picked up t\*m after they had been
suffering nifUrs and four out of the
eighteen ha The third boat was
swallowed ether; that meant thir
teen lives g| then the boat I was in
drifted roufen days, as nearly as I
can rememlfe south from where we
were wrecilthen moving up north
again, mailt-shaped course. After
drifting abda days we finally landed,
or, rothea the boat up on
the ice abodes south of Cape Nav
arin, and * lay twenty-six whole
days, keepifves alive on two small
seals which cl and ate raw. Of course
the cold wais fearful, and the men
dropped offfcp until only four of us
were left, le up our minds to try
the sea, ambiti attract the attention
of a passing. We beat about for
sixty two like south, and then we
came back and had the luck to strike
a low openimg the steep cliffs. As
soon as we we saw a party of In
dians. who out to us: VMasinka!'
‘Masinka!, !e learned meant ‘good,’
or ‘good frfThey helped us out of
our boats got us under cover
in their la, .and treated us very
kindly. Tia little, sturdy race of
people, wit straight, black hair, and
skins as y a Chinaman’s. As soon
as I was abe about I found we were
close to a fjer lagoon, which might
have been‘ter of a mile wide and
twenty mil. It was fed, as far as I
could see, breams coming down from
the mountl bad no outlet. It was
well stocketrout, salmon and a red
fish sometl® a trout. We were well
on in sumn, and had a chance to look
round on tHest country imaginable.
No vegetata scrubby cranberry and
a coarse giieh their ugly, awkward
little wormfred for firewood. How
ever, we sdied with the family who
had taken us to split ana dry fish,
and I ear' board at least. In this
way we liabout a month, when one
day we saS toward us a caravan,
as you migit, of about fifty sledges,
drawn by r and driven by perhaps
twenty-flv*s, tall, well-built fellows,
and finer e*y than the little fellows
who had bfc'l us. The coast Indians
treated thfrivals, or Tchuktchis, as
they were with a great deal of re
spect, andk up a friendship with an
old man oF s of age, over 6 feet in
height, arjaight s a telegraph pole,
with a go* tace and quiet manners.
His nametourat, and w hen I made
him undej° w we had got shipwrecked
he swore |d put me back to my peo
ple. My mates had suffered more
than I diihe old man took charge of
me at on<
By asjuestions, which are here
omitted, ficent afforded the following
informa'tktive to these Tchuktchis, or
deermenhid they came from an in
land valfnAes from the coast, on the
other si ihe Trade Mountains, and
made th down to the lagoon every
year to i stock of fish and food for
the winfiey brought their reindeer
and slefmd went nomo loaded with
the rest their three months’ labor.
During burn by the lagoon Vincent
rapidly i ie d his health, was entirely
free scurvy, and became
soon rf>ert herdsman. His good
health Jbuted not only to his strong
constitif'ut also to the fact that he
workecP of loafing, and although he
ate notfil Ash and deer’s meat in two
years T* r had a scorbutic blotch. As
the okltad given him to understand
that hiri conduct him to Hover Bay on
the Bi Sea, Vincent readily went
with tfhen, in September, 1885, they
broke
Helmut's story may be resumed in
as neafpossible his own words:
“Ast s the camp broke up I took
chargP’am of reindeer; nil the fish
was pjon the sleds, and our train must
have V mile long and looked like a lit
tle ar/oving over the mountains. After
we hJveled for a few days a halt was
called I learned that, they were going
to ivthe snow fell in the beginning
of Or!. During the whole trip we only
ate ofnl a day, anil usually traveled
from to fifteen miles not eating any
thinjl the caravan had been arranged
for tfeht. They arrange the sleds so as
to fcfvo sides of a triangle, placing the
noselch sled to the end of the one in
fronjhen when they are ready to break
canify drive the herds of deer into
the I end of the triangle and draw
a racross. The old deer follow easily
intcf-orral (the young ones sometimes
giviuble, and then they are thrown
witjusso and whipped on the ears with
ropjhieh is a lesson that does not need
to (ften repeated.) It requires a little
kua.i manage the deer, as they can only
l>e ipached on the left side, and have a
habt sweeping their horns back and
rou n a dangerous way. The harness
cod of a single rope fastened to the
nos] the sled. A train consists of seven
slee id the entire herd numbered about
000 r. After we had got all ready for
the ht, before entering the tents we
useC be beaten in turn with teurgins,
or irks made of split deer horn
witpe branches cut off. This beating
knc all the snow out of the clothes, and
is a patently trifling thing for the omis
siot which many have paid with their
livi Sitting before the fire in the huts
wo otherwise cause the snow to melt,
amje furs being damp, as soon as we en
ihe open air again they would freeze,
g a skin of ice. This skin would go
wing and freezing ull winter, and the
of such a coat, even on a cast-iron
ution, may lie imagined. Our daily
angM but little, nothing but, rocks
i occasional ground pine being seen,
traces of a river wore visible,
mtil December there was little
ieve the monotony of our long
af somewhat slow journey. Still,
I It well, enjoyed our uailv supper of
b*'il deer meat or dried fish and deer's
b si soup, and slept ns soumily as if I were
ii ly bunk. In the first few days of De
iber we had crossed the coast range of
m mtains, sighted the Tobacco Mountain
pi c, and looked down upon a valley sur
ro ided by snow-clad mountains about 50
mt> by 30, and not unlike a beam in shape,
lathis valley was the deer men’s home.
Thr huts were like beehives and their
of deer numbered thousands. There
were perhaps 1,500 people in the valley, ami
they owned all the way from 150 to
.'i,UoO head of deer apiece. Our arrival
was the signal for a general joil■ fl
oat ion. It was the occasion of the
feast of Inpeluhi. During the fifteen days
that this least lasted the Tchuktchis gave
themselves up to all kinds of feeding and
snorts. They wrestled in a catch as-catcli
can sort of style, ato until I expected they
would burst their sides, danced, and ran foot
and reindeer races. There was nothing in
the least like religion, and I never saw a
priest or any one perform what you might
call a religious ceremony, except when they
sprinkled themselves with deer soup made of
blood and tat to change their luck. When
they do this they go out of doors and turn
to the cast, each member of the family doing
it in turn,”
Being pressed to give some further details
of the customs of the people, Vincent said
that reindeer blood appeared to Lie looked
upon by them as a symbol of all that is
good and nourishing as well as life giving.
It enters into all their domestic customs.
Thus when a girl is married or betrothed,
a smudge of deer blood is made from her
lips to her ears, and the groom is similarly
bedaubed. Blood is the sum total of their
pharmacopoeia, and in varying floses is pre
scribed for sickness of ad kinds, though
they appeared to need but little physic.
Referring to the children, V invent con
tinued, “They call them by some physical
peculiarity, just like the Indians in this
country. There was a nice little girl they
called Chie-Chua, because she was round
shouldered; the men’s names often convey
an idea of skill or strength. The girls at 5
or fi years of age arc taught to sew deerskins
and to make thread, and they soon learn
that they have got to do all the work and
that the boy is the boss. Ho is taught when
he is 8 years old to use the lasso and to fish.
When a man dies his body is burned. As
soon as the breath has passed out
of his body, the women wail for a
few minutos in chorus, and then wrap
him up in snow-white deer skins. He
is then placed on a sled drawn by hi i best
deer team, and is driven out of the camp
with the reins in Fis stiff fingers to a place
where the men have gathered fagots for a
lire. The doer are struck to the heart
with a knife at one blow, and the
sled with its lifeless burden, and the
deer are all placed on the wood, which
is thfen lighted. The men go away and
leave the fire in charge •of an attendant,
who sees that every tiling is consumed. The
dead man’s house is closed for a week, and
every night for that time the laces of the
entire family are smudged with ashes and
blood from mouth to ears. The families are
always small, not more than two, or at most
four children being the usual number, n
the way of music they beat a tum-tum or
arum made of deer-skin stretched over a hoop
about two feet across, and slug to the tatt> o
in a screeching or howling way which is
painful to listen to. They have no coin,
and all their trading is done by the old bar
tering methods in which they swap a sheath
knife foradeer, andapieceof linen is valued
at two deer. Their ideas of time are very
vague, counting twelve moons to the year,
and so find that they have a few weeks over.
The weather is bail except in March and
September. In winter, of course, the cold
is excessive, and in summer it is quite hot,
with thick, heavy fogs.
“I staid,” continued Vincent, “the first
time about four months with these j icople.
They treated me very kindly indeed, and
looker! ur on me as one of old U-tourat’s
family. They intended that I should errs;
the Trade Mountains and go to the Anadir
river, which flow's on the west side of the
Trade Mountains, but they lea: ned that the
mountains would be impassable, and
so determined in March, 1886, to
take me back to the coast
where they had found me. My feelings
were mixed; I had got to like my com
panions, and yet I was anxious to get home,
and whenever I thought of that my heart
fell, as they had given me to
understand that my chances of being
picked up were better by going across
the mountains to the trading post than by
returning to the lagoon, near which 1 anil
my three companions had landed in June,
1885. Old U-tourat accompanied mo with
the train of sleds, just as I had seen him ar
rive. My companions I found in a very low
state, and before I had been long at the
lagoon they all three died. I waited, and
watched, and hoped for a vessel to heave in
sight, but it never came, and the deerrm n
had their fish all packed and the first of Sep
tember bad come, and my only choice was
to stay at the lagoon or return to the valley
once more. I chose the latter, and in De
cember was again among the hut >in the
bean-shaped valley. Hardly had the train
arrived home when the old man, who had so
befriended me died, regretting that he had
been unable to carry out his intentions of
returning me to my countrymen nnd con
fiding me to the care of his son ICatilkot.
He was a bright, clever man, and in January
of this year got up a party of tw'elve sleds,
and in three days drove me over the Trade
Mountains to tne Russian trading post on
the Anadir river, a distance of 140 miles.
The post w r as about 100 miles from the riv
er’s mouth, and a dirty place in charge of
dirty half-breed Tchuktchis. However, I
met some deermen from Cape Behring, and,
carving my name on a piece of w ood. I cut
out also the name of the ship I belonged to,
and asked any countrymen into whose
hands the board might fall to try and pick
me up at the lagoon ten miles south of
Cape Navarin. Without much hope we
again turned oar sleds for the valley and
crossed the mountain, this time taking
twelve days, and seeing the huts in March
of this year. We stopped at the valley till
the deer had calved, and in April made
again for the lagoon. Hero another disap-
? ointment, w-as in store for me. The little
ndions told me that the whaler Sea Breeze
had touched two days before I arrived, and
hid inquired for me. This nearly did for
me; but I waited and helped at the catch
until July 17, while I was fishing inshore, I
heard voices in the fog, and then a boat
loomed up close t > me, and that ends my
yarn. It was a boat from the Bear, and
Lieut. Hamlet soon took me in charge, and
so I am here to-day.”
Vincent casually remarked that the deer
inen wero loaded down with presents and
the parting with him was much softened by
the gifts of tobacco, molasses, and rifles,
which Capt. Healy sent them. At the same
time the generous treatment the deermen
received will have the effect of winning,
perhaps for some other shipwrecked sailo
an equally kind reception at the hands of
the Tchuktchis.
Elder Evans and the Shakers.
From the Hudson Register.
Elder Evans, of the 1 Lebanon Shaker
Community, has just passed his Soth birth
day. He bus eaten neither meat nor fish for
fifty-five years. There are seventeen com
munities of Shakers in this country, con
taining in all between 4,000 and 5,000 indi
viduals. These are situated the States of
New York, Massachusetts, Connecticut,
Now Hampshire, Maine. Ohio and Ken
tucky. Elder F. W. Evans, the able ar.d
venerable senior Elder at Mount Lebanon,
has just returned from a visit to England,
at the solicitation of sympathizers in Groat
Britain who desire to establish a community.
Adherents are constantly joining them,
though in the nature of things not in large
numbers. Those who belie > e and work in
unison with their aims, yet who remain
without the fold are more numerous. How
ever this may ,be, those people who di
pense with liquor and tobacco, who suh
sist on grains and fruits, and live near the
great heart of nature, practice as well as
preach a temperance and religion well wor
thy of respectful altention.
The Splendor of Dress
and the artificial effects of cosmetics, no
matter how deftly applied, can never make
beautiful or attractive one who is subject
to emaciation, nervous debility or any form
of female weakness. These must be reached
by inward application, and not by outward
attempts at concealment, and the ladies
may take hope from the fact that thousands
of their sisters have made themselves more
radiant and 'beautiful by the use of Dr.
Pierce’s “Favorite Prescription" than they
could ever hope to do by the aid of the ap
piiances of the toilet.
