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.
