' This is exactly the misfortune which has overtaken the eight whaling ships whose officers and 'crews at least those who have managed' to reach shore in safe ty, are now facing starvation..

No ship which was ever built could stand that awful pressure, and it Js expected that the doomed whalers will' be. ground to pieces during the first storm. -Whether or not the 265 men . have by this time escaped to the bleak,1' inhospitable shore is an open question..' If their ships have not already been destroyed, it would hardly seem probable; that they should wait until the final' catastrophe and then take the' slim chances of making a journey of many miles over the heaving,' grinding uiooovo uj. jiiuviug iw., ? xue xuuro plausi ble theory is that the unfortunate whalers have gone' ashore with what provisions and , clothing 'they could ' manage to-: take and have established ar camp;or else1 have tried to reach Ioihfe"Barrow.i Efen at the latter place there is not enough food to keep a surplus'of 65 inen during the "win ter. At one time the government did have a supply station there for this express pur pose,, but a few. years ago it was . sold to a private company,' and theprbvisions have' been removed. V , f ' t , A-J, U Of course It will ; be Impossible for the Bear to go through "Bering strait at this' season of the year, for that gateway to the arctic has been closed' for weeks by an im passable barrier of ice. The plan of the rescue expediti6h, rthereforei Will be" for the Bear to steam up' the Alaska coast as far as possible, perhaps to Norton sound, and there send . out ' an ' overland expedition. Captain Tuttle of the Bear is td tie in sen' eral command of .the expedltipn, but 'the land party,, which is to make an overland march of hundreds of miles across an arc tic waste in the dead of winter, will be in charge of Lieutenant Hooker, also of the revenue cutVcr. - ' According to the suggestions of Secre tary Gage, an attempt will be made to col lect a large herd of government reindeer and dxjve these from the neighborhood of . Port" Clarence, the reindeer station", to Point Barrow, the animals being designed to furnish the double purpose of pack car riers and supplies ''on . the . hoof. - The perils of this overland trip,' even for a well equipped and well , provisioned party, will be something appalling, but the men who will undertake it are thoroughly expe rienced and have been especially chosen for the purpose. The revenue cutter Bear has long enjoy ed the distinction of being the best cruiser in the arctic regions and has become fa mous for her long and ' successful service in the dangerous northern waters. She was built in Greenock, Scotland, for the Dundee whaling fleet, but was purchased by this government and in 1883 won the applause of the civilized world by her plucky rescue of the Greely survivors. Later she was sent to the Bering sea sta tion and for more than a dozen years has been battling sea and ice in those wild waters. This time she is called upon to force her way as far north, as possible, and Captain Tuttle may be depended upon to urge the gallant cutter to do her, best, for the lives of 26 American sailors are at stake.
