A MESSAGE FROM THE GALE.
Listening on the Ice Floe to the Roar of the Coming Storm.
When the swell is heavy in the ice pack, it is often very difficult to ascertain from which direction it comes, and just as difficult as it is, just so important may it be that it should be found cat rightly, as the safety of the ship might wholly depend upon correct judgment as to this. When the huge ice masses begin to move and screw and press on the sides of the vessel, rising and falling in a heavy swell, then there is only one escape—namely, to work the vessel into the fields away from the side from which the gale blows. A mistake as to the direction of the running swell has often proved fatal, and the mistake is easily made.
An old arctic sealer told me how in hours of dread in the arctic icepack he had laid his ear down to the ice floe and listened to the roar of the coming swell —that terrible message from the furious gale—and how be thus had discovered whence the gale was pressing and had been able to save the ship from destruction. I tried his method and found that it worked admirably. What is well worth noticing is that open water nearly always is to be found in the ice pack on one side of icebergs. The icebergs that we met were generally in motion, carried onward by the ruling current. Often they ran forward in the icefields at a speed of several knots, piling np the huge floes before their cold, glittering bows, but behind them they left an open sheet of water large enough for any ship.
Now, there would of course be many dangers for a vessel tugged along in the ice pack by such a floating monster, but I believe nevertheless that this method might be instrumental in saving a vessel from being crushed when the icefield is moving heavily.—C. E. Borchgrevink in Century.

DIDN'T FIRE A SHOT.
WHY THOUSANDS OF INDIANS MELTED AWAY BEFORE FORTY MEN.
Captain McCabe Knew the Sionx Better Than They Knew Themselves, and They Knew the Captain and His Men Were
Dead Shots and Also Scalp Takers.
In the pioneer days, to reach Montana from Cheyenne, in Wyoming, required a roundabout journey that involved a double crossing of the Rocky mountains, with a change of base at Salt Lake City. The United States government brought about a better condition of travel by constructing a trail through the Gallatin valley along the course of the Gunpowder river, reaching around the base of the mountains in a curvilinear form, which avoided the heights of the Rockies. To protect this route from marauding Indians three forts were built—Reno, Phil Kearny and C. F. Smith. These were garrisoned by United States troops.
In 1866 the murderous Sioux from the Yellowstone valley pursued a sanguinary course up through the Gallatin valley and into Montana. It was marked by rapine and plunder. They besieged Fort Reno and killed many of its garrison, including a brother of A. K. McClure. They environed Fort Phil Kearny, and wiped from the face of the earth every human being whose walls it failed to protect. Then they surrounded Fort C. F. Smith, where 200 Union soldiers found themselves surrounded by more than 1,000 death seeking Indians. Escape seemed impossible. A courier got word of this condition of affairs to General Hancock, who was then station nl at St. Paul, and he sent a messenger to the governor of Montana at Bozeman, calling upon him to relievo the besieged garrison. The chief executive of the territory of Montana at that time \VLIS Green Clay Smith, who, by the wiy, recently died in Washington, a Baptist clergyman. He had been a member of congress from Kentucky, but President Lincoln made him territorial governor of Montana. He was seated on the porch of his residence in Bozeman when Hancock's message was handed to him. To a visitor from the east, who was seated by his side, and who is authority for this narrative, he said:
What in the name of heaven can I do? Fort C. F. Smith is 250 miles away. The country between here and there is filled with Sioux Indians. Our militia force consists of exactly 427 men. Not a man of them could reach Fort C. F. Smith alive. I am absolutely powerless. However, I will send for Colonel Howie.''
At that time Colonel Neil Howie was United States marshal for the territory of Montana. He was atypical frontiersman.
It was to this man that Governor Smith addressed himself, handing him General Hancock's dispatch and saying: "Colonel, we can't do anything for those poor devils in Fort C. F. Smith. We haven't enough men, and those we have couldn't get there. Am I not right?" "No," said Colonel Howie quietly, without any exhibition of excitement and with the gentle voice of a woman. "There is no trouble about that, governor. We can arrange that matter and still leave the Montana frontier protected. I will need some picked men and a good leader for them. I think Captain McCabe is best fitted for this undertaking. I will go out and find him.
McCabe was another gentle voiced man with blue eyes. He didn't make mnch noise. He acted. He said to the governor: "Oh, yes it is easy enough. But I'll need 40 of the best men I can select. You can keep the rest of your volunteer force here.''
Governor Smith looked at him in amazement. So did the visitor from the fort. They both thought he was either insane or a braggart. Governor Smith said to him, "How in the naipe of heaven do you expect to raise the siege of Fort C. F. Smith with 40 men when you know that it is surrounded by more than 1,000 bloodthirsty Indians, and that the oountry between here and there is covered with thousands more of murderous Sioux?"
Said McCabe quietly: "Why, governor, it is easy enough. The Indians know us, and know that we know them better than they know themselves. You folks from the east have an idea that what you call Indian atrocities are simply unmeaning exhibitions of brutality that scalping, for instance, is simply a form of torture. In that you are mistaken. The Indian believes that no man can go to the happy hunting ground—heaven we call it—who has been deprived of his hair. Their motive in scalping a victim is to carry out fiendish hatred to its utmost by preventing him from having a happy hereafter. Therefore to deprive an Indian of his scalp is to rob him of his hope of a happy hereafter. My men never kill an Indian without scalping him, and the Indians know that. The 40 men I will select for this expedition are unerring in their aim with the rifle. They can shoot 16 shots in 16 seconds, and every ball means a dead Indian, and every dead Indian means a scalp, and every scalp means a warrior deprived eternally of a chance of ever reaching the happy hunting ground. My 40 men will walk from here to Fort C. F. Smith without firisg a shot." "Incredible," said Governor Smith. "True," said Captain McCabe.
What was the result? Forty men walked the 250 miles from Bozeman to Fort C. F. Smith. Indians watched them on every side. By days their progress was signaled by circling columns of smoke and by night by fire from mountain tops. But not a shot was fired. When they got within sight of
Fort C. F. Smith, the 1,000 whooping Sioux who held the garrison in siege fled, and the 40 frontiersmen from Bozeman marched in and escorted the 200 Union' soldiers back to the territorial capital without the loss of a life. Not a shot bad been fired. Not a scalp had been lifted —Philadelphia Times.
