The Canadian wireless station at
i Herschel Island, recently completed,
J reported some days ago that the
j schooner Old Maid, which had previ
; ously been reported as caught in the
| ice, as having arrived at Herschel
; Island safe and sound. Captain Cling

. left Vancouver June fi.
ft is one thing to .he .attacked by a
i wounded bear, .and all oldtimers are
j usually prepared for such emergen
cies when they go into the hills .after
; big game, says the Anchorage Times.
! But not many of them have had the
experience of being knocked over by
accident by awounded bear rolling
! down u mountainside. That is what
I happened to Victor Campbell, mink
farmer of the Chiekuloon district,
1 while he was out scouting around re
| cently for fresh food supplies for his
fifty-seven mink.
I According to the account of the in
, eiderit, -Campbell spied the brownie
I high above him on the mountainside,
| and opened fire on him. "Wounded, the
, bear lost its footing and came hurt
! ling down In the .direction of Carnp
' bell, rolling head over heels and so
rapidly that the hunter could not get
out of the way. The body of the big
animal struck, him with its full
j weight-and sent Campbell spinning.
Campbell managed to make his way
! back to the farm, blit was so badly
crippled by the collision that he could
not hunt for two weeks. He was just
: able to do the necessary work about
the place and that was all, and before
he could resume his foraging the food
! situation at the farm beeume so seri
ous he found it necessary to butcher
his dogs for mink feed.
