The old steam wnaler Mary I. Hum.
the first vessel of her class to winter
in the- Arctic, has made her la.-t voyage-
to the frozen north. Sino th
iinv shP v:is turtu-il from a small
steam schooner into u ful!-Hl
'blubber hunter." the Hume has been
almost continuously off the month of
the Mackenzie river and there is i.o
vessel afloat today that has remained
as Ions in the laud ot the inMniuht sun
without a change of base as she.
During nine years of continuous ser
vice the Hume only once returned to
civilization. That was in Marly
in 1 S.:5 she refurrietl to llerschel Isl
and and in the Arctic eirele she re
mained until a tw days ago. when she
returned to San Praiicisto. hvr
as a whaler bein numbered.
i
The Hume now .be turned into
a "cannery tender." and as such will
tow the sailing vessels or the l'achic
Steam Whaling Company's IWt in and
out the harbors .t Prince Williams
Sound.
The Mary D. Hume was built nearly
eighteen years ago by (leorge W.
Hume, the salmon packer, ami named
for his wife. She was as smart a little
steam schooner as i.iere was on the

open sea, but for lack of steam he
rouM not get his v sel anywhere near
the leviathans. On his return to San
Francisco in the tall of that year he
toM of his experience ami the late Cap
tain .1. H. Knowlcs was quick to se
the possibilities oi a steam whaler in
the frozen north. He purchase! the
Mary I). Hume, built deck house on
her and changed the little schooner In
to a brigantine. April ll. 1S'.0, then,
saw the steam whaler Mary D. Hume
on her way to the Arctic in command
of Captain James A. Tilton. livery
preparation had i:een made for winter-
inc off the mouth of the Mackenzie
river, and in consequence the men did
not suffer a great deal during their
absence from civilization. Tiiere was
an abundance of fresh meat, as deer
were nlentiful and eider ducks were
brought to the fr.ucu-ln steamer by
the Ksnuimaux in thousands. The men
had to be kept employe!, however. In
order to ward off scurvy. In conse
quence gangs were sent out every day
on ico-cuttlng expeditions, others went
hunting the polar bear, while some
had to hunt members of the crew who
were foolish enougn to attempt to es
cape up the river to Canada and civili
zation. All kinds of games were
played, but the favorite was football.
Manv a hotly contested game was
nlaved on the Ice. "Tossing in a blan
ket" was a game the men learned front
the Ksnuimaux. :nil some of them
nearly broke their necks in attempting
to rival the aborU'.inal. The blanket
was made out of walrus hide pieced
together and hung in a slanting posi
tion. The performer began on the up
per end. and after being thrown into
the air had to make his way to the
lower end in gradually decreasing
bounds until he dropped to the ice in
safetv. If his ev failed him the re
sult would be an impact with the Ice
that wntild raise a how! of delight
among the eager onlookers, but would
not be appreciated In the same ratio
bv the unfortunate performer.
The winter of l0-9l was the first
one the Hume spent in the Arctic. In
the spring of she was the first in
the field and seemed the phenomenal
catch of thirty-six whales. At that
time the price or whalebone was very
il n wtmlf was vnlneil at from
lioooo to 515.000. according to bis
size. The Hume's atch realized near
ly half a million dollars. Captain Til
ton's "lay made him a rich man. and
he is now living in New Bedford on
the interest of the money earned In
that memorable venture.
On April 13. 18J;!. the Hume. aft. r a
thorough overhauling, started for the
Arctic once more, fthe was to again
winter off the month of the Mackenzie,
but this time she was not to be alone.
Almost the entire steam whaling com
pany's tleet was to keep her company, j
while Koth. Ilium Ac Co.. I.wis. An
derson & Co. and .Tames McKenna had
representatives among the icebound
Meet.
Captain George 11. Leavltt was in
command of the Hume, and before go
ing into winter quarters he secured
fourteen whales. During the ason
when the sun is hidden the men of the
Hume taught tho cicws of the rest of
the tleet how to enjoy themselves. That
