pectng trip to Middleton Island,
bringing some placer gold back with

of their trip was broken at. Martin
river, on Montague island, when they
were waitiug fur weather to, make the
crossing. “They ran into a big brown
bear and two cubs at this point,” says
the Cordova Times, “and Frank went
after them only to find that his gun
was useless, th eammunition being
wet, and the bear treed Frank, get
ting his hat and part of his trousers
before Frank could reach safety. For
three hours the bear tried to chew the
tree down, while Frank’s companions
watched helplessly from the other
side of the river, haying only a 22?
calibre rifle with them. Finally the
bear left in disgust and Frank came
down. The three were out of grub

live off the country for the last
