' whi h they could nail their bo : its. so

j Norton sound and on a small crescent

t" this the only k: »n entrance to the

this I* i.avigabli only to stern-wheel

The Yukon do- u not pour It? w aters direi t
ly Into Bering sea. but the sea
through a delta 200 miles in length and
about l>'<> miles across the fare. Through
this delta comf- five principal moutrw utd
several secondary. The delta is a net
work of smaller streams and sloughs run
ning In every conceivable direction, so
that if a steamer gets out of the regular
pa*> it is- a matter of gravest danger to
even old t mors.
A number of unorganized attempts have
b- u made to tlnd «t deep-water mouth to
the river, hut without practical result.
The Indians and Eskimos have always
said that to th«- south w as de -p water for
the big ships. Father B. itarmim, a mis

spent the last nstu years on the Yukon,

a deep-water ho'inel existed, as he hail

" This is not the first tfin that I have
t- »n —! »his ehanc»l. In while in
! cmttaard -f the echooner Alice Blancb
j ard on a return voyage from St. Michael.
> I sailed :t tr> a point within a few miles of
: try trip this year. At that time I found
J the Mae channel ard **arted to explore
j ;* but it beir.g late in the season and the
weather being or.favTable 1 was forced
to turn back before I had mad" sit defi
nite discwTi«». My trip into th» channel
this rear can hardly be said t« have been
one of chance. I have always had an idea
that the main channel of the Yukon must,
b* on the southerly side, because I have
cot!' -"d 'hat the water is deepeet on the
nor?'-; side of a the various indentations
of the ccapt that lie *o th» south of the
Yukon. If you will look on the govern
ment charts you wii l find the deepest
1 soundings invariably lie en the n?rth side
o i the p !nts which are south of the Yu
k * This ■« sr. s '-■•ra"v the ca«« that it
may be accepted as an absolute fact. The
currents in th»;-ir action have ma.i* the
w r. n side- Tr..s is
Uirftstai to the » i'h:ng of the current
coming soyth fr»>m the Arctic ocean and
the current of the Yukon itself. Be:-g
convinced in my "wn mind that I would
fi-id de*p water in the south channel. 1
mad* the first attempt to find It on the
trip «f the Alice Bianchard. On August i
of this year, when my soho ner Bering
S- a was of? Cape Dyer, I again picked up
the cha-nel about five mil** north of the
cape. This channel runs in a norll~>»a.«ter
ly direction In no place did I find th«
«at»r shallower that 44 fathoms. I fol
lowed It in for five miles, flndirg the water
jrrowlr.g deeper as I proceeded. It is a
j w»U-kiwwn fact that the rivers of the
j vcrid are always shallower oiT the mouth
■ and that when you pass the shallow part
the wat»r ke»p« Increasing in depth. You
, w;'l n> on the government maps that
■" Ca-e Smith s«>n,c thirty fathoms of
w itf»r is shown. This. I think, is • auaed
by the whirl of the Arctic and the Yukon
currents coming togeth< r. and as it is in
direct rours-> of th<» channel tip which I
I believe this th«ory will be f'unl
correct. I believe that it will bo possible
for deep-niter boats drawing from six
teen to wenty feet to foil <w this channel
up to s.<m« point on the delta. All thtt
remains to bo done Is for the government
or rom» orarantsed expedition to go in an l
j locate the < hannel, so that mariners may
i safely follow it."
('apt. Worth furnished the Post-In'-'l
llgencer correspondent with a map show
ing the channel as he found it. It will be
j noted that this ehannel foilows the gen
j eral direction and almost connects, as far
as he sailed. with th« channel already
dotted out from the mouth of the river
on the government chart® It does not
seem posrible that the short distance in
tervening between the end of the Worth
channel, as far is it was explored, and
that of the marked government channel
wiil be any different in depth, and it may
reasonably he assumed that the Interven
ittK spare will be found to he simply a
continuation of the Worth channel Some
idea of the importance of this discovery
1 may he pained wh> n It is understood that
it will « nth!e tran«p~>rt jtjon companies to

se'ludcd spot where they could w\»rk with
j out fear of Interruption.
Tho heaviest !♦»?«■ r by the burglary wis
Mr*. L. S. J. Hunt, who had just re
turned from Japan and China and had
left her trunks and traveling bags in tho
j room. She lost a valuable seal
skin sack, a handsome fur lined eloak. a
silk skirt, a topaz necklace and a hand
some bracelet.
Thu other trunk* broken open are wu< d
by Keating a id Walker and Miss Man
chester. theatrical people. The theatrical
people examine their wardrol>es and told
Manag r Seeley that nothing wa* miss
ing.
The Flyer office was not the only place
j v>lted by the burglars. They entered the
1 waiting room of the office of the Grey
hound a block and a b-ilf south, and with
out disturbing Mate John Docker. Chief
! Engineer Campbell. Purser Scott and
»'|erk Charles Hobson. who sleep over the
office, pounded awav or. the safe, removed
the mono, dr awer from l desk and finally
went away without securing even the $2
that lay tn money drawer. It is su;
posted that the appearance of the night
watchman sea red the burglars awa\.
From the general appearance of thing®
J it would appear that the attack on the
safe in the Flyer office was the result or
• carefully la d plan to make a b;g haul.
Only a short time previous to the burglary
the missing safe contained a lar:;e sum of
! money, and the burglar- evidently be
lieved it was still there when they carried
off the safe. Manager Seeley refuses to
say how much money thore wa* in the
1 safe a day or so before the burglary, but
It was learned that the sum was unusual
ly
remove the money from the "»fe every
i n.gh* Then he arms himself with a pis
-1 tol and walks away. The office In which
' he transacts business is «mall and bril
liantly lighted by electric lights A per
■ ot! standing outside on the south side of
the buildinsr could get a good idea of what
w is going on in the office, and at the
same time be free from clos- inspection.
The burglars evidently v* itched Mr. Sceioy
j a"d gained a good Idea of his habit*. Sun
! dav night he left the office about
o'clock, but as there w is only in th*
safe he did not follow his usual custom of
! opening it and taking away the money.
Hp pv«i> w ilked off without his pistol. The
baggage room was locked, as usual, its
' three door® one on the south side, one on
th" north and one on the northwest cor
ner being secured from the Inside. The
| door leading f rom the office into th* bag
' gas* room was tinlocke I About lso
o'clock yesterday morning one of the men
on "he Flyer thought he heard some glass
break "Something may be wrong up
there." he <=aid to the new night watch
man. The latter walked out of t!fe cabin
i on the Flyer and looked up the wharf at
the south side of tho building. He could
t see the light shining out of the office win
j dow\ Everything appeared all right, and
his curiosity wa.* not. eyen around by a
man who stood not far from the office
; window.
At •> o'clock In the morning Mr. Arm
i strong, who opens up the office, arrived
The moment he stepped inside the bag
i gage room his eyes were greeted by a
; sight that made him to fhe tele
! phone In wild a',arm Mr. Seeley, calm
j a: I serene, after a g< «.i night's rest, an
swered the call,
j "They've cone through the place,"
j yelled Armstrong.

' came serious. "Who's gone through tho

■ Whew was all Mr. Seeley could s.»y.
He recovered hi* breath and dived into
the office. A moment ister he yelled:

himself and wa ted for reports on th»
safe as he did not think it could be far

A -his po'.ttr Detects* Powers arrived
and commenced an Investigation He
found that the burglars had entered by
breaking a pane of sia** over the door
at the nor'hwest corner of the bul'diiig-
They o{>ened the trunks with a .limtng.
In mo4t ca.se* using little care to save
the lock from damage. The safe had
been on a tru k and tsken to a
point about ten feet from the double
doors a' the s;d* of the building Powder
burns on the floor, a few blackened
tickets. two hammers. an apology
/or a Jimmv a s;e«»i punch, a piece osf
burnt fuse and* the b»nt legs of the truck
told of an »;t« m,»t to blow the safe. It
was s« r.g however, ar.d as the doors
were broken op-»n the natural supposition
wm that the burglar* carried the safe
ou ar.d
a boat that .t* stolen from A. Manuel.

an action would be found in the beiief
hat the powder failed to open the safe
so that the contents c0,.1d be removed

the large sum they evidently believed to

explanat n of the tickets being expelled
'ram the safe is that tiie }x»wder did its
work to a certain extern and forced them
out through a small opening. *
