Vr.d tfw'7, .or 100-5*age PafiDphlct ADRIFT OS ICE. The seoao of the adventure that I relate is in North Hudson’s bay, and the time was late in February, 1879. I been among tho natives of this region the great bay—the Iwillik tho fall liofore getting ready for a journey to King William’s Land, in Arctic ocean, which these natives had said could best lie started in the early spring, anti I had therefore set the first week in April as about the time of our departure. One of Hie most ifecessary articles of supply for such a sledge journey was oil to cook our food, by the native method, end give us light at night, and the seal and walrus i-t tho bay were tho sources on which we depended for this material. The contemplated ucdgo trip was to bo an overland one, and until we stood on the shores of tho Arctic sea, probably a month or two after starting, no oil pro¬ ducing animal could be met, and we therefore urged our hired Eskimo to !>e prompt in getting us a good supply. Then there came in a superstition of these eeai and walrus hunters that they cannot catch these animals or eat their flesh until the reindeer meat of the fall hunting season had been disposed of, and, as our venison supply it wti.o large this particular autumn, was well along in January before the change was made. This was followed by one of those hyperborean hurricanes whoso predominating feat A-e was boreal consistency, and after its three weeks of blowing was over, and wo were nearly starved in our ice palaces, we crawled out six! . hired the situation in the face that it was hardly two months until our depr rf i :v, with no oil on hand and little lilt ' of being able to pur¬ chase any of ihc natives in their depleted condition. My own natives therefore went to work with a will to supply tho deficiency, taking working early and late and many risks on the treacherous ice that they otherwise would not have don •. It was in taking one too many of these risks that tho material for my story war furnished me. kqueesik and Nannook (the Elbow anti the Polar Bear)were two r faithful and trustworthy walrus hunters as were to bo found in the whole Iwiiiik Iribe of Eskimo, and this saying was no small compliment iti its line, for the name Iwillik means walrus eating Eskimo, from the large number of these animals killed by this tribe, and which really formed their chief supply of food. I kqueesik was in fact over anxious to see that every¬ thing in general and the walrus oil in particular would be ready for the trip on time, for though an Iwillik bv adoption since he was a boy, lie was by birth a Netschiliuk, a band that lived on the Polar sea, where we would probably visit, and he showed a truo patriotic dcsir. to visit his native land. By tho 20th or 25th of February it wan quite evident that Ikqueesik's unusual energy would be properly rewarded i” the weather only remained good, but this be was something in which no reliance could placed whatever, although my Net- sehilluk walrus hunter openly avowed that good weather or bad weather lie was going to sec that, as far as oil was con¬ cerned, we should have no delay in start¬ ing. Sure enough, a storm came tearing down from tho northwest that looked as if it had come to»stay for a while; and, as good as his word, I kqueesik, with Nan- nook and a 14 or 13-year-old brother of the former—Ahwanak by name—sallied out in the fierce blast to tackle any wal¬ rus that might be found out enjoying 6uch weather. Although during these fierce off shore winds, tho walruses gen¬ erally go sailing out to sea on the cakes of ice that break off from the edge of the shore ice. our two hunters were lucky in finding au old one that had found it con¬ venient to stay at home, and as part pay¬ ment for their exposure in such fearful weather they found it easy to dispatch the brute by taking advantage of the din tho wind was making. To cut up his carcass was but the work of a few mo¬ ments: but, short as it was. it was long enough for the tide, then rising .rapidly, to lift tho great field" of shore ice a footer so more and elevate it clear of the reef, which so far had acted as a huge brake to hold it to the land, and with a ripping, roaring noise, like the close volley of musketry from a battalion of men < r the crash of a near thunderbolt cleaving the air, they heard this field of ice on which they stood tearing loose from the main shore, and by the time they reached the crack, 200 yards away, it had become so largo that it would have Itecn a dangerous experiment to attempt to leap across; for in his perpetually ice laden waters the Eskimo is a stranger ro the art of swimming. They stood and looked at each other for a minute, grin¬ ning a sort of sickly smile that the Cau¬ casian repeats when he chases his silk beaver down a muddy street on a windy day in “the presence of a large anil ap¬ preciative audience. ” They were adrift in one of King Frost's men-of-war w ith¬ out rudder, sail or compass, and, worst of all, they did not know how long they had been drafted for. An inspection re¬ vealed tho craft to be about 400 yank long over all, about 200 yards beam, with Brmor six to eight feet thick, copying two guns with a crew of three, and pro¬ visioned for two or three week' with one walrus weighing nearly a ton. I should havo added that a sledge and throe or four dogs were curled up abaft the main hatch, the former of which might th> foi fuel and the latter for food in case of r.r emergency or loo long a praise. At first the trip was not a very severe one as long as they could feel the protec¬ tion of the coast, but the further away they got the higher the waves were swell¬ ing, and in the course of two or three hours the surf was dashing over toe weather side and flying in fine spray and froth across the little cold weather cruis¬ ers and making things uncomfortable generally. compacted under There wa3 some snow the lee of a line of high hummocks that had once marked the place of the reef from which the storm had torn the great floe, and here our three Eskimos busied themselves in building a comfortable igfoo or snow house, which would protect them from the weather, and two smaller ones were made alongside, one to store dogs the meat to keep it from the hungry and the other to protect the dogs them¬ selves. It is very seldom that these peo¬ ple ever build such snow kennels for their dogs, however cold or stormy the weather, but now the living snrav freezing on their zur .-mo t/ir <v«iii ot sometmng to do distract their attention from their ous situation, determined them to build snow house for these animals. Their war vessel seemed to be of ram order, and of (lie most class, too, for it went crashing fore aft into every other ship of its own without regard to its size, and the crow were often regaled with a view of boreal battle in which missiles of ice, score of times greater than Krupp dreamed of. were hurled backward forward by tho contending floes as came crashing together. The snow hut built and being housed, they had time to their situation fairly in the face, and was not a very inviting one. The of life, it is true, was not as great as experienced persons might infer from a situation, and thesegreat ice fields, as oak. in the depth of an Arctic very seldom went to pieces, and they did it was because two greater would crush them 1*4wo?n them, and to the surviving fields the men escai>e. But if the storm continued they might get so far away that lighter southern winds would never them back, or at least before the was on them and the ice became so ten that it was likely to go to pieces in storm from the more motion of tho and be reduced *to such 6mall cakes each and all were constantly so that life would be a3 unsafe as that a bug on a lot of floating sawdust in rapid. Again, their ship might bring into foreign jxtrt from which, though they could never return, or only after long interval; for there was a case tho Iwillik Eskimo, a man whom had left that very morning, who, twenty years before, had Ijoen away by au ice floe ami landed weeks later on the southern shore Southampton Island, and from there been a long, lonesome year and a getting from tlie natives of that land back to his beloved Iwillik, his friends and relatives had long given him up as having joined that Eskimo majority in the land where fountains spouted pure seal oil and houses where built of blocks of reindeer and walrus meat. Tho only chance of sudden danger in case the floe should, in some of collisions with others, split through their snow house anil drop in the sea. But such a chance for a vio¬ lent collision was hourly growing for toward the weather side a long of other ice cakes torn from tlie shore ice or blown out of some big was forming a veritable ice pack—or long but continuous string of ice cakes all sizes, from the largest llocs to smallest pieces, and oftentimes but a hundred yards wide, but a number miles in length—and where the forms nature has built as good a water to stop the furious waves breakers of a sea as any ever devised the art of man. I was once on a vessel off the mouth of Hudson’s and in a howling storm that made impossible for a land crab like to keep my feet under mo on the deck. We were tacking up and in front of an ice pack to get through, an attempt would havo been suicide if wo plunged into the grinding ice. A was finally found, however, and through it we sailed, finding ourselves between two ice packs a half a mile apart, but ex¬ tending for miles in length, and as soon as we got through the sea was smoothed dowii to half its dimensions. Getting through the next ice pack tho water as still as a river, although a wind was blowing that sent us plowing along at twelve knots an hour. By 2 o’clock p. m. darkness had set in and they were at their wits’ end to know what to do for a light, although they had all the walrus blubber needed from which to extract tlie oil, but they were without the semblance of a lamp in which to burn it. Nannook, however, overcome this by fashioning one from the inch thick hide of the walrus, sewing it with seal¬ skin thongs cut from tho dog harness, while wicking was had by cutting up Ikqueesik’s woolen tobacco bag, and matches were plentiful enough among all my hired natives who smoked tobacco, and both Nannook and 1k- queesik stood well toward tho head on tho fist. In a little while, there¬ fore. a bright enough fire for light was had, though hardly strong enough to heat the house to any extent, and they were sitting on the snow bed discussing the dismal prospects. For supper they had raw frozen walrus meat, but tins was not so bad, as it was often the staple diet of their meals, and even at home they could only expect to supplement it with some hot soup and a piece of steam¬ ing walrus flipper. The principal worry about their meat supply Mas quantity, not quality, and the chances of renewing that supply when the present gave out; and this latter did not look so generally bad, as the floating icepacks were known to contain more seal and walrus than the solid shore iec, as they had often re¬ marked when huutin., c.t tlie latter. Should they go off their own little island 6f ice, however, to hunt for an animal the drifting waters might separate them from it so that they could never return, and this proba¬ bility would confine their hunting tours to a very limited area. So. take it all in all, however dark and dismal their outlook seemed, there were many bright possibilities breaking through blaek clouds, and after the first depres¬ sion was over they looked at thii.gs in a far more cheerful light. They went to sleep early to save their oil, curling upon the snow bed in their reindeer clothes—a not unusual circumstance, for they often stay out at night to hunt, building a small igloo to sleep in—tlie only change being to withdraw their arms from their sleeves and fold them on their bare breasts, a common practice among these people when in a chilly, fireless snow house or taking a nap in their clothes. It was almost certain that they would not be missed the first night at the vil¬ lage sufficient to cause alarm, as nightly absences of hunters are frequent when watching a seal hole or when success has Taken them far away. Here they were, then, sailing liglfted away ir the dead of night with a ship that could carry thousands of tons o* freight, and this, too, in the very midst of an Arctic winter and despite the as¬ sertions of many newspapers of the At¬ lantic seaboard that, jealous of their Canadian cousins ana their proposed Hudson bay route to England, have con¬ stantly asserted that it ia only navigable for a month or two during very favor¬ able summers. The stormy night wore out its weary length, and when at 10 o'clock the day began breaking there was some sign of cessation in the stormy quarter, but they could hear the outlying ice jtaek growling like distent thunder, though their little island of was still intact and in ccoapr.: b. ocath water. To their agreeable surprise the signs kept on for the better, and some three hours later—the length of the short day— saw the storm erase and th< t evening gave them a breeze from o south which, coupled with the norti rn current in the bay, sent them float mg toward home, tho happiest crew in the Polar seas. Ijite that night a Polar Ijcar broke into the ir store igloo, before even tho dogs were aware of its presence, and they got out to save their meat. A scuffle ensued with the dogs, an unsuccessful shot was fired and bruin went scurrying away with the dogs in hot pursuit, one of them never coming back, but whether he was lost on a cake of ice in the darkness by its floating of him away, or the bear made a incal was never known. All that night tho long southern swells of the sea broke on tho ice in a pleasant air that sang of home, and next day, Ini- fore the night set in they could make out the tops of tho high hills of North Hud¬ son’s bay in the clear blue distance. That night their floe struck something, and the light grinding of tho edges showed plainly, that many pieces of ice were keeping them company on the outer edge of the pack, and as this shortly ceased it was evident that other incoming ice was between them and tho sea, and that they were stranded on the shore ice or not far from it. Next morning’s light revealed to them that they had a mile of “pack” to cross, which they carefully did, leaving the walrus to keep house, anti this brought them on the shore ice some fifteen miles from homo, and if ever Eskimo dogs were whipped and pounded this team certainly home was, and nightfall saw them giving a description of their peril¬ ous adventures, trying to prove the navi¬ gability of the Hudson's bay route in the depth of an Arctic winter.—Frederick Schwatka in New York Mail ami Express.
