f TERRIBLE EXPERIi
OF PC
Story of the Great Suffer
gators Who Attempte
to China During t
William Barentz, the navigator on ; m
the Dutch expeditions of 1594 and \vi
1595 was given command of two th
ships in 1596 to explore the north- th
? ern waters for a passage to China, j
He fell far short of his goal, but he j be
and his crew were the first Europ-! ec
eans to spend a winter within the ai:
Arctic circle and furnish definite in- fr
formation to the civilized world about in
the frozen wastes north of Russia ac
> and Siberia. ne
Jacob Van Heemsherki and Jan th
i ,
Corneliszon Rijp were captains under di
L x Barentz. Gerrit de "Veer was second
K, mate and historian, and to his care- ni
Y ful records the world owes the nar- fu
' ration of that memorable voyage. j as
The squadron sailed from Amster- us
dam May 10. Near Spitzbergen Captain
Rijp lost his bearings and turn- ex
ed back. Barentz, Heemsherki and
De Veer kept resolutely to the north, or
They crossed Archangel Sea and of
sighted Nova Zembia, which still R
bears the name the Dutch gave it. ti]
They rounded the Orange islands,
another Dutch name, north of Nova jo
Zembia, and turned southward into K
Kara sea, confident that the north- K
east passage was before them. j P<
But winter was coming on. August m
26 the ship dropped anchor in a lit-!
tie harbor on the northeastern coast
of Nova Zembia. An ice pack closed
about them, which De Veer's journal
says:
"Forced us, in great cold, pover>
tv, misery and grief to stay all the jh
winter. * * * On the 30th the masses er
of ice began to pile themselves one of
upon another against the ship in such ti<
a manner that all that was around at
and about her began to crack and I th
split. It seemed as if' the ship must 0f
break into a thousand pieces, a thing be
most terrible to see'and hear, and fit ar
to make one's hair stand on end. The q<
ship was afterwards in equal dangerj th
? when the iee formed'beneath, raising (jj
her and bearing her up as though she ed
had been lifted by some instrument." ac
Soon the intrepid adventurers were m,
forced to leave their ship. They
erected a house on shore and pre- cu
pared to await the breaking of the su
ice pack. Never before had any
European wintered so far north, so X]
the Dutchmen had no one's experi- j
ence to warn them of the extreme TI
cold coming. The fact that they j
bore the greatest privations and
hardships cheerfully adds to their
honor. They "placed their affairs in a
the hands of God." Two men died, **
scurvy attacked them and Barents ^

DeVeer records: 0E
"Always cheerful and good tem-;m<
pered, the men bore equally well the
enui of the long polar night and the j
severity of the cold, which was so
extreme that during two or three
days when they had not been able V1
to keep on so large a fire as usual on ^
account of the smoke being driven ni
back again by wind, it froze so hard j 111
in the house that the walls and floor j "c
were covered with ice to the depts of I
two fingers, even in the cots where
we were sleeping. It was necessary; st;
to thaw the sherry when it was serv- j
ed out, as was done every two days al(
at the rate of half a pint." j ^
A surprising ignorance of the!
needs of fresh air came near causing . de
the death of the whole party once. gr
An unusally cold wind was blowing. t0
"We khew no means of guarding m
ourselves against it, and while we S1<
^were consulting together one of our Ju
men in this extreme necessity proposed
to make use of the coal which
rh
we had brought from the mip into v"
our house and to make a fire of it, ^
y because it burns with great beat and
lasts a long time. In the evening
we lighted a large fire of this coal. j.
* which threw out a great heat, bitf
we did not provide against what
might happen, for as the heat revived
us completely, we tried to re- w:
tain it for a long time. To this end m
we thought it well to stop up all the a
doors and the chimney, to keep in gr
the delightful warmth. * * * | fo
And we also ourselves were sensible of
v of a great pain which .attacked us, so ' ed
that several of the bravest came out to
of their cots and began by unstopping pa.
the chimney and afterwards opening ca
the door. But the man who opened di:
the dood fainted and fell senseless on ty
the snow." fo
On Christmas and the twelfth la
night they held parties. The snow co
? ' fell so deep that they were forced to of
tunnel out from the door. Polar
bears and foxes scrambled over the oh
iroof and tried to break in. Many an
animals were trapped or shot by one fif
of the men, who climbed up the re
chimney for that purpose. Strange th
to say, the bear meat was discarded j vi
as unfit, while the fox meat was eat-! w<

any bears they killed for food as
ell as clothing it is probable that
e scurvy would not have weakened
em. De Veer writes:
"Each night we heard first the
;ars and then the foxes, which walkl
upon the top of the dwellings
id tried to tear off some planks
om the roof, that they might get
to the house. So the sailors were
customed to climb into the chimiy,
whence, as from a watch tower,
tey could shoot the animals and
ive them off. We made a great
imber of snares, into which fell
imbers of blue foxes, the valuable
r of. which served as a protection
;ainst cold, while their flesh enabled
; to economize on provisions."
The ice disabled their ship, so the
plorers were forced to leave Xova
jmbia in open boats. This they did
i May 20, 1597. After three weeks
difficult sailing, during which time
ussian fishermen aided them many
aies, they reached Kildin island,

Orangeburg, July 16.?It seems
at some of the followers of Govnor

TILLMAX CRITICISES BRYAX. ;/,y
Says Secretary of State Should Quit '!M
the Lecture Platform. \
Washington, July 16.?To-day's -jg.
New York Herald says: .. ,
Senator Tillman, who confesses
that at one time he made $25,000 a
"ear on the lecture platform during
vacations of Congress, said he never !
had neglected his official duties to fui
lecture engagements. He rgrelted
Mr. Br ian's devotion to the platform.
"It is a perfectly legitimate way to
make money," he said, "but I regret
to hear of Mr. Bryan doing it. Just at
this time, when there is so much important
work before the department,
I would prefer to have him stay in
Washington. He could better afford
tr* imnnvprish himself than to aDDear I
to neglect his official, duties.
"The impression prevails?though
I don't know how well founded it is?
that Mr. Bryan has made a great deal
of money since 1S96. He has published
two or three books, owns The
Commoner, which has a wide circulation,
and has lectured extensively. I
love the man so much I hate to see
him do anything that will belittle him
in the eyes of the people as this certainly
will do. While his speaking
tours will serve a good purpose i%
that he always preaches true democracy,
and patriotism and Christian
living, he never can again appear as C
a knight errant of democracy."

SICILIAN BRIGAND ON TRIAL.
Outlaw Had Fled to United' States J
Where He Was Arrested. y
A special dispatch to the London
Dhronicie from Milan says: V
The notorious Sicilian brigand, Calenda,
who was arrested and expelled
from the United States in 1911, is
again on trial at Cantanzaro, where
he was condemned in 1868 to thirty
years at hard labor for murder. :
Scarcely had he been released w,hen
he was retried at Monteleone and .
sentenced for five years for another
crime. Calenda then expressed his
intention to settle down quietly and
did so until 1905, when he heard .
that a man named Maori had made a
boast concerning his beautiful niece.
Mad with rage, Calenda waylaid him
with a gun and shot at him, but miss- I
ed. A few nights later Macri was
found pierced through the heart.
The brigand disappeared and in
his absence was sentenced to twenty
years imprisonment. A few days
later a shepherd stumbled across two
bodies on a mountain where Calenda
was known to be hiding. Both L?
the murdered men had given evidence
against him, and both had been
shot in the back by bullets of a pattern
that Calenda was carrying. The
judicial authorities increased the S<
penalty to life-long incarceration, and
carbineers were dispatched to scour
the mountain fastness in the hope of
capturing him. In the meantime
Calenda, furnished with a false passport,
was on his way to New York
and no more was heard of him until
1911, when an Italian detective who OUI
had dropped into a Brooklyn phar- "
macy recognized the ex-brigand in EFF
the chemist s assistant. Hence his
expulsion from the United States and Grov<
his reappearance to answer for two in'
murders and two other attempts to <
murder. This is the fourth time the
court has been occupied in judging
his bloody deeds. yQ
