A WHALEfKNATIVE. TWO TEARS & TEE TCHUK- I r J. B. Vincent, ! Survivor of the New Eedfoif Napoleon, De scribes His ii* ces - Corrcsj-mde Journal. 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.
