Nome.—'Harrowing tales of
xposure and hardships on
Yrangell island were told by
he survivors of tire Stefansson
* xploring schooner Karluk, who
were brought here by the rev
enue cutter Bear, after being
rescued by the schooner King
«x Wing. Including an Eskimo
man, wife and two children,
here are 11 survivors. The
>arty landed On the island on
March 12, with about 70 days'
.atioirs. Food was exhausted
June 4. They lived on any
thing they could get hold of
after that. They killed three
molar bears, a number of seals
and some birds. They made a
stove from coal oil cans, built
boats from drift wood, and
rould not even get salt water
tor their meat, on account of
the icebergs. George Stewart
Maalocfh, geologist of Ontario,
and Bjarnc Mamen, topograph
er, of Christiania, died of scur
\y. Throughout their precari
ous existence, the party retain
ed a black and white cat they
had picked up at Victoria, B. C,,
last year, and the mascot is now
at Nome. When the Karluk
was wrecked by the ice north
of Herald island, last January,
the party divided and started
I or Wrangell island. The
party led by Dr. Forbes Mackay
evidently changed the plans and
tried -to reach the Siberian
•hore. When they later chang
'd, their course for Wrangell
Aland again, they were caught
in lai heavy blizzard, which
opened the icef'and it is believ
ed the eight in lbs party have
been swallowed up. On the
night of September 0 the King
<k Wing reached Wrangell isl
and and sent up sky rockets.
There wos no response from
the castways, 'because they were
asleep, but the next morning
they heard (lie whistles of the
schooner. Four Eskimos found
a lead through the ice in a skin
I oat and brought back four of
the survivors near the shore to
the schooner. The King &
Wing then made for the other
side and picked up the remain
ing castaways.

FROM MONDAYS DAILY
London, Sept. 28—All day
■uturday the Germans contin
ued to hurl bodies of their
roups in mass formation a
jainst the lines of the Allies,
and at one time succeeded in
riving part .of the latlers forc
s back several miles. Rein
oreements were rushed Do the
point where the fracture threat
ued, over the railroads which
re now in the hands of the Al
ios, and the new men, joining
•>ith those fighting to check
I lie on rushing Teutons, slop-.
. ed the advance of the latter
< id in turn dtove them back
hr la slight gain, capturing a
c msiderable number of pris
oners and inflicting consider
nblo punishment to the line.
S.) dose did the (wo armies
ime together that the German
g ins, which were in their old
lines, were unable to fire on
I e Allies for fear of doing as
a uch damage hi Itieir own men
: to Hie enemy. The fighting
a this point, which was In the
valley of the Oise, was prob
ably tlie fiercest in the entire
war thus far. Scotch, English,
Irish, French and Oriental pres,
•ed forward shoulder to shoul
der, stubbornly shooting, stab
bing and using the butts of
their guns op the Germans, who
give ha k slowly exacting ter
rible loll from those opposing
‘hem, until the battle field was
title rail y ( '.vered with the dead
of both armies. This contin
m d until Fie original position
o the Allied forces was reached
and passed, and still the wave
-wept eastward. Backiward,
■slower and sliower the Germans
were pressed, and ias the fight
ing, struggling mass of hum
anity came out into the open
between the two lines, the Ger
man guns attacked 'the Allies
from both flanks, and the lat
ler were forced to come to a
standstill, but not until they
bad covered close to' two miles
of the territory formerly occu
pied by the Germans, whidh
they held during the night in
spite of the terrific bombard
ment to which they (were sub
jected. _ Thus it will be «seen
that the Allied right wing is
able to report a slight advance,
but at a terrible cost. The
German troops who took part
in the assault and subsequent
’’olrcat ia,re said to have been
(lie famous Prussian Guard,
considered one of the finest
bodies of troops in the world.
They were simply outnumber
ed and smashed by the super
ior weight of those opposing
diem.
Berlin's Version of the Fight
Berlin, Sept. 28—After a bom
bardment of several hours by
the superb artillery of von
Kink’s army, which completely
silenced that of the Allies, the
German forces drove back
diij'se opposing them on their
right wing Saturday afternoon
for several miles. Before they
could fortify the ground they
ha(| won and bring up mia,chine
and field guns, however, re-ln
foreements arrived for the Al
lies and our troops had to re.
tire to their original positions.
On our center, the offensive
movement continues, the
French being unable lo stem
our advance.
