Tlif niaslfi' of a passenger
Vfsscl. in my opinion, is not re
i|iiilo ronlimif, or cvfii jnsti
Illfil in continuing, with his ship,
crew ami passengers in a position
snh.jfft to as great or fven great-i
el* danger than arr those who
think il his duly lo come lo their
rescue.
llf is sailing his ship primar
ily for thf bf lie lit ami honor of
his owners, ami his Hrsl ilnly is
• to lake every precaution fur llie
proteclion of llie passengers un
\ der his immediate command. Ko
► diak and the 1)ora being in llie
► same vicinity wfi'f snhject to a
| common danger from above; if
* anything, the Dora being in the
► gri'Mler danger, for ii is di(Ticull
, to imagine anything more terri
ble than a lire al sea. Had any
change taken place in I hat vicin
i il y from beneath, those on I he
Dora were subject lo a great
danger, which they could not
see and therefore were powerless
in avoid.
lYlwccn the Dora and Kodiak
w«i.- a portion of water consider
co I»y navigators the most dan
gerous in thick or rough weath
i er, of any in Alaska. It consists
<•1" a narrow channel in a wide
wmi-rway strewn with sunken
coeks, on which, generally, a
lien*.y swell rolls from seaward'.
. 'H seems foolish to expect that
the De|a. approaching from sea
ward with an uncertain depar
ture, should be able to locate this
Channel nod safely navigate it to
Kodmk wharf jusl because an
otliirX* wsnnl "'leaving Kodiak
Whusucceeded in reach'il* the
Open sea.
!m«:* lh«* i vi lit of tho.«e not
I a nautical under
standing, I rerommciid them to
make th«» following experiment:
Ftlindfold yourself ami run down
a narrow lane into an open field.
The chances are that you will
rcaeli tile open' field without
striking tho fence on either side.
Then take up a position in the
open field, say 20 yards from the
mouth of the lane, and realize
that you may he some iO feet
from the point from which you
•arc supposed to start, then see
how you feel ahont running in
to that larte, allowing that you
are started in the right direction
with nothing iu the Avay.
The officers of the revonue
cutter Manning are given Kreat
credit for the part they took in
rendering assistance to the peo
ple of Kodiak, and they are en
titled to the same, hut you should
stop to consider that it was the
first duty of that vessel to render
sueh assistance.
The captain of the Manning, in
my opinion, was morally hound
to risk at least his ship and even
her crew in attempting to res
cue the citizens of Kodiak then
in danger. Ife did hi* duty and
deserves great credit.
f'aptaln McMullen, being under
entirely different obligations, de
nerves the e red it which every
ship master is entitled to, who
miccussfuly meet ami defeat ev
ery condition which arises in the
course of his voyage lending to
destroy his ship and her people.

a physician stmws lip some
1111 «• causes. Tilt body was en
tirely devoid nf clothing when no
ticed by J. H. Parkin, the Hirch
ereek mining man, who reported
i the liml to John A. Cameron, the
[ commissioner ut Circle. It was
: lying under the ice nf Birch creek,
near the mouth id Harrington
forks.
Iti#w it was possihh* for the
man to meet his death in such a
place is a mystery to those who
:ii>' M'(|uainted with the condi
tions surrounding the disappear
ance of McCarly. It is assumed
that his known craving for strong
drink so completely mastered
him, after leaving Twelve-mile,
on October 28, thai he became de
ranged, divested himself of the
last slirtd of clothing and sought
solace in the cold tvatcrs of Kirch
creek. This, to those who knew
him best, is the most plausible
explanation of his demise.
No Assays are Necessary.

Such proves to have heen the ex
perience of a prospector who was
Recently to a creek near Cltrd
wood. He had previously stated
that he had found colors on this
stream, hut his auditors were
skeptical. "Come on and I will
show you," said he. The small
company hiked to the ereek and
the discoverer began panning. To
the astonishment of the doubt
ers, a five dollar gold piero, of tho
vintage of 1004, was taken from
the first pan.—ftatcway.
