■era by Mlasloaarlea—Brace's Plaa
The aaillng of the revenue cutter Bear on
her life-saving mission haa been delayed
until Thursday by a telegram received by
Capt. Tuttle that an important letter was
mailed to him November 20 In Washington.
It probably contalna more explicit instruc
tlona than those already received, and its
arrival must be awaited. All the offleera
have now arrived save Lieut. D. H. Jarvls,
who ta to lead the land expedition, and
Lieut. E. P. Berthotf, who will make one
of the party. The loading of coal was
started yesterday. The cutter is lying
alongside the Arlington dock, and is being
tended by the steamer Rapid Transit.
The reault of the attempt to get food to
the whalers In me Arctic ocean is of in
tense interest all over the country, and the
return of the Bear, her officers flushed with
success, or crestfallen in failure, will be
looked forward to with rare anxiety. Will
the courageous determination of the gal-
Jant men who will make the hazardous at
tempt be strong enough to carry them over
the many obstacles to be enceuntered, or
will they be forced to return, baffled by the
giant forces of adverse nature? Even
should they, by an exercise of supreme he
roism, reach Point Barrow, what will they
find—men with frames gaunt from hunger,
or hearty-looking sailors afflicted only with
monotony? These are the questions occur
ring to the minds of those who read the
plans of the expedition or the published
opinions of men whose experience in the
Arctic gives weight to their words. The
consensus of opinion among such men
would seem adverse to the success of the
Bear's attempt, some going even so far as
to characterize the whole proposition as
foolhardy.
When the agitation in favor of sending
the Bear north was first begun ami it was
learned that the heads of departments in
Washington were seriously considering the
matter, Capt. Tuttle, of the Bear, was open
in his expressions of disapproval, declaring
that he could clo nothing, and that even if
he could he believed the whalers amply
able to take care of themselves without re
lief. He substantiated his retsnning with
farts he had learned during the cruise of
ISSt7 in regard to the supplies of provisions
known to be in the vicinity of the impris
on. d whalers. Sirva the issuance of the
order on which the Boar will return to
Alaskan waters Capt. Tuttle has ai?sln
tained an attitude discreetly neutral. It is
as thoiiuh he said: "Well, if I must go. I
must, and 1 will not dampen the ardor of
m.v men by doubts .tg to the expedieni-y of
the going. But I think -well, no maiter

SEATTLE. WASHINGTON, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 28.
what I think—l am going, and that ends
it."
Capt. Tattle's lateatloas.
It would he hard to Imagine a proposition
on which it is more difficult to plan ahead.
Such a multiplicity of phases does the car
rying out of the department's plans pre
sent that Capt. Tuttle, who is responsible
for the success or failure of the attempt, is
forced to say in reply to all inquiries: "I
don't know what I am going to do. save in
the most general way. Everything will
depend on where we are stopped by ice.
and that is something not to be calculated
upon."
An outline of what the Bear's master
hoi>es to accomplish was given yesterday
to a reporter of the Post-Intelllgencer:
"I shall try to reach Sledge island." he
said. "That is a dot of land fifty miles
south of Port Clarence and five or six
miles off the mainland. It will be easy to
cross from there over the Ice to Point Bod
ney, on the mainland. My chance of get
ting to Sledge island lies in the fact that it
is in the lee of Point Bodney, which sweeps
off the ice carried down by the north wind,
making a sheltered stretch of water.
"At Point Bodney there are 276 deer,
owned by Indian Charley and his wife,
Russian Mary. The government gave
these two a small herd as a nucleus on the
understanding that half of the increase
went to the donor. These reindeer could
be taken and more secured from Port Clar
ence and the Teller reindeer station, mak
ing in ail a herd of 6,000 to 8.000. The Bear
would have to lie up wherever she could
find shelter. It will undoubtedly be im
possible to get into Port Clarence, which
lies in a bl*ht or corner of land which
catches and holds the ice. It Is generally
filled up early in th<» winter, and is not free
until late In spring. Why, one year I was
unable to enter Port Clarence as late as
July 9. It may be better this early In the
year than later, as the coldest part of win
ter is during the months immediately pre
ceding the spring breakup.
"Practically the start will be made from
Cape Prince of Wales, the extreme wester!
point of the American continent, and di
rectly at the entrance of Bering strain
At that place is a missionary station
charge of Rev. T. W. Lopp. He has a pr
vate herd of at least 300 reindeer and woi
gladly let the expedition have some
these. I understand that he wishes to ;
company the relief party to Point Barren
It will he a good thing if he does, for he •
familiar with every foot of the countrv
and travels extensively every winter. Last
winter he took his wife, and with a rein
deer team, made the 500-mile journey to
Point Hope. He did that to make a social
call. The shore line was closely followed,
and the trip was made without especial in
cident. Mrs. Lopp. who accompanied her
husband uncomplainingly over the ite, is a
small woman, who might be taken by one
who did not know of her remarkable
powers of endurance for an Invalid.
•'Missionary Johnson Is another great
traveler. He has no permanent station,
but goes about from place to place during
the winter, often covering phenomenal dis
tances. One winter he went from Pbrt
Clarence to Kadlak island. It will be seen
by what these men have accomplished that
the trip is not one of such extreme diffi
culty when once a cood point is reached to
start from. It must be remembered, how
ever. that whit would be comparatively
easy to those missionaries because of their
accurate knowledge of the country would
be correspondingly hard for men who will
be almost traveling through an unaccus
tomed region.
"The outline as given yon depends aJ

would be more than half assured. In case
the Bear runs Into the ice It will be ries
essary to get as noar shore as possible and
start out the land party over the Ice. The
cutter would then go inrto winter quarters
at the nearest place of shelter.
"Will not reindeer be at Unalakllk as
well as at Port Clarence?" Capt. Tuttle
was asked.
"No," he replied, "while it has been de

was sought as to the value of the steam

whalers paling through the winter with
out experiencing starvation.
"The vessels will unquestionably be
crushed." he said, but added with a laugh,
"that rell* f expedition will find a Mve'v
Jot of sailor corpses when the\ arrive at
Point Barrow. Ten to one the whalers
wfll meet them with the Joking inquiry.
'Well. wh->.t tinder the Arctic aurora
horealts are you fellows doing here*" But
they w<Tl take advantage of rrse opportuni
ty to borrow smoking and chewing to
bacco and add a few unexpected entrees
to their menu. You need rvot worry about
those mt n starving. for the larders of all
the steamers are well Jilted. There are
barrels of flour at Point Barrow, and the
steam schooner Jeanie. which Is tender
for vir whaling steamers, had provisioned
the boats before leaving for Herschel
island. There is plenty of game in that
i country and ihe whalers will be able to
get ashore, as they are in the ice not
more than five miles out. at most.
"The steamers are worth about IMO.iW#
I each, the whaling outfits on each one
'■ standing for about of that sum.
The way the vessels were can«ht is very
plain to me. Directly west of Point Bar

j ltoin the north the huge berg.s are caught

ifaeo lho vessels rest secure. When the
wind comes from the south it sweeps the

' shallow bay with wails of lee. It ia there
that the vessels off Point Barrow are
lying, sheltered in a smooth stretch
water by ice which, moving a few yards
f i rthrr in, would crush the ships like egg
j shells.

"Lovering. of the Fourth infantry, stationed
at Fort Sheridan, appeared before % court
martial at that post today to stand trial oa
the charge of "conduct prejudicial to good
order and military discipline." The speeffio S
charge is causing Private Hammond to bo
dragged over the ground bjr the heels from
the guard house to tho office of the regi
mental adjutant after llan>m«nd had re
fused to walk.
The rtrst witness waa I.leut. John J.
Bralncrd. the officer of the guard on tbs
day that Hammond was dragged, lit tes
tided that he ordered Hammond to appear
before the summary court, and thai the
l&iter refused to go. He exhausted gH
means to get the private to go bjfore ttvs
court, and then he reported the matter to
Capt. I covering, who was the officer of the
day. ,
Corp. New stated th,»t levering, as of*
fleer of the day. sent three men to Ram
mond's cell with orders to prod htm wltk
the bayonets If he would not walk. "Ha
si in he would die I* fore he would walk,"
saiil New. "and I then saw levering kick
hiui twice and prod him wtth his sword,
ire kicked and p» .idded him pretty hart,
an bajd at laat ttiat Hammond fell In ang
rubbed his side.'"
Bergt. Hrainvrd was called and tare a fi
minute description of how Hammond waa
dragged, feet first, over the sill of hla call, fl
then down the guard house stone StSM,
down over the curb, and up again to tha
walk, down again, over the opposite curfc
up the steps to D company's quartern
then down over the curbs, and Anally Up
the steps to the adjutant's office.
"How did Hammond look when he ar
rived at the court?" asked Col. Hunter,
"lie was crying when the rope waa taken Jj
from his feet." answered the sergeant.
"His pants were worn through to the f
skin, and when I returned with hit# to tHe ?
guard house he showed me the cute mate
by Capt. Levering'* sword. They were aS -
bleeding and deep."
Corporal Ward was the last witneaa, and
his evidence corroborated that of CorponU
New.
An adjournment was then taken to tt
