appearance of O’Connell from the
island, went to Juneau and reported
their discovery there. They visited
Middlton island a short time ago and
found no trace of O’Connell at or near
the cabin, they said. His diary was
last dated October 12, which, it is
said, was about six weeks after be

year. The supply of food, which was
for a year, was scarcely touched, and
the only articles which appeared to
be short ware chewing tobacco and
snuff. >. Cling about the cabin was
disturbed. A sack of oats, which had
evidently b=en cut open and left for
the I.-" • kept on the island, was
found, and near the cabin the horse
was found dead, where it evidently
foundered, and the carcass had been
mostly eaten away by the foxes.
