Mr. George Kctititin, mid llioio boinj; a
movement on foot In America to ntnclio
rati if iMttsililo tin- condition of tho
unfortunate victims of Russian itilo,
that it scetnid to mo icceiitly an Inter
view with tho now famous trawler
might unearth some bits of his pciwmnl
experience that nro not known to tho
general public.
Mr. rCcnniui Is apparently hotwoon
fort and forty-llvo jonrs) of u;o, but pos
sesses that pcciiliui elasticity of move
mont, not to nay tcinpciiimcut, which
makes him appear much voiin'or Ills
flKUto Is slight hut ninowy, Indicating a
good ileal of losorvo 'smcr mingled with
that iieculiat nervous forco that is often
found lu jourualiHtH and telcmaphcru (ho
belongs, l) tho wa, to tlm latter school),
anil his- face IsHtioiiKly marked with tho
resolution that linn carried him tluough
bo man ilifllculticH, Withal, ho is ovi
dentlv a keen observer, retentive In his
inemorv , o.nct in hit facts and admiia
bl descriptive hi IiIh hI 1( of narrative.
I iiHkeil li f tii to give mo oir hand a
brief story of his lifo and Iiowuhii voiing
American ho becamo ho much inten sted
in Russian ti.ivel. l'lungi i,; Into tho
Biibject, in iin-dins rea, as tho lawyers
say, he ausweied:
My father is piob.ibly the oldest liv
ing telegrapher in tho United States, be
ing now bTvcais of age. As tho mali
nger of an ofllco on the Wade, Speed
nnd O'Reilly lino in Norwalk, O., when
I vvaH iKirn tho Hist line built in the
west ho taught me tho Moise alphabet,
nnd on my sixth birthda, befou I was
able to toad manuscript, I Kent in llrst
dlspitch. At tho ago of 12 I wasreg
uliulv empli)vsl in a telegraph nlllie
At tho out break of tho win, though but
a moro bov , I wont to Wheeling, Coluui
btiH, and lln.illv to Cincinnati, being all
the time iiiimous to get into tho telo
graph coips at tho front, then mulct tho
com lol of f leu. Staeger, an oltl acquaint
mice of in father. In this, howovor, I
failed.
Mr. I'orry Macdonald Collins mean
while had projected an overland lino
from America to Km ope by way of
British Columbia, Ilchring straits and
Alaska to Siberia, tho object being to
obtain communication with Luiopo
without emploing tho ocean cable,
wliiili at that time wan not working
with ie;ul.iuty. After surveying tho
route ho c.iino back, Intel estetl the West
oi ti L'uioii company, and an agieement
was made with the Russian authorities
to construct a lino to California, thenco
to Hehiiug htiaits, up tluough Alaska
nnd on to tho mouth of tho Amoor liver.
Hole the I'. i.,siaii ovoiument was to
meet us with it.s lines from St Peters
burg. Thit onterpiiso attiactiug inv at
tention, I vvioto to (Jen. Staegi i . asking
for a position in one of the exploring
parties to ho .sent out. Ho did not lepl
to tho lettei, but ono night caino to tho
instrument in his olllco ami, being a
practical opeiator, inquired for me.
I answered over tho when, Ho asked:
"Can oii get ready to start for Alaska
in two weeks?" "Yes," I lephed, "I can
get lead in two bonis. " "You mav
go!" was tho messago that came back.
I was then IS vous of ago Proceed
ing to California with ono of the pu ties
of tho expedition, I remained then un
til July, 1805, when with threo otheiH 1
started on a Hinall trading vessel for
Kamchatka, lauding on its peninsula
after a tedious voyago of forty-seven
dan. Then begun a lifo of adventure
and hatdshi) which lasted two eais,
uud took ino over Siberia from nehrlng
straits down to the Okhotsk sea, our ob
ject being to locato tho most desirable
route to tho mouth of the Amoor river.
Dm ing this pel iod I traveled six or eight
thousand miles on tlog and iciiidecr
sledges, horseback and in canoes, fre
quently camping out of doors six weeks
at a time in winter.
Altei tho successful laying of tho sec
ond Atlantic cable, I received notice in
the autumn of 1807 that our entcipiise
had been abandoned. As tho clrciim
statues have not been published, thev
ma bo of interest. Wo Inula lingo foice
of men at work, and wero cut oh from
communications from tho ci viliotl vv oi Id.
Occasional!, however, a vessel woull
come into tho Okhotsk sea, and ovuv
spring wo would go down to tho coisi
to watch tho hori.on for tho smoke that
rose while tho ciew wero tr.ving out then
whalo oil, Imping to got news from tin
civilized world. Wo hail a w hale boat in
which wo could go out a short distance
to sea, and, in tho summer of 1807, ob
serving in tho far distance a welcome
cloud that indicated tho presence of a
whalo ship, wo manned our little craft
and started to boaid her.
As vv o approached tho captain paid lit
tle or no attention to us, thinking wo
wero onl a pait of natives. Finally,
howovoi, wo succeeded in climbing on
deck, and walking aft 1 said to iho cap
tain: "(Jood day, sir. What is tho naino
of our vessel;" You nover saw a man
look inoio astonished, for, belli,; dreased
Intliocostuiuoof tho countiy. he did not
expect to Hud in mo ono of iiisow n iaco,
or hear his own tongue spoken. As soon
as ho could i ateh his lueatli ho exclaimed:
"Good Ivonl! Has tlin univeisal Yankee
got up lu leC Wheiotlid ou como from?
How did on got heie? What aioou
doing?" And then followed a welcome
the win mill of which ou must imagine
His name was ('apt. Hamilton, anil his
baik the Sea liiceo, from Now Jiedlord.
On parting the captain gavu us a bundle
of newspapeis, homo of them a car old,
nnd piesLiited us with n libit al supply of
provisiona As soon as we ic.iclnd shoie
wo built n cam, i fne and sat down loie
new otu iiou un. nice with the outside
world. In tho com so of mi hour or two
ono of tho p.nty stumbled iimiii a paia
giaph In a Han Pruui'ln-ii journal stating
that, In uillsi " 'lice of 'he sltcciss of the
lecond ocean crMe, all work on the litis
sliin-Ainci an telogiti h had been aban
doiieil. 'I Ins was the Hist iiotilli-atiou
(hat our duties weto at an end Dining
the follow Ing September one of our com
pany's vessels at rived with unlets for our
return to the United States.
There being still some hope that the
Russian government might Is induced to
build the line clear up to tho Itehiing
straits, in which case it was thought the
Aiuei ican coiiipinv would go on, I was
lift inHlhoiit, iiieanw hilo collecting and
tupping to San Kiunelsco tho vast mass
of mateiial then on hand.
Msnil the beginning of vv inter 1 le
celved olders to letiirn to the United
Stat' h tluough Hibcila, and with another
Aiueiii an named I'tice made the jour
ne to St. Peteishurg, a distance of near
ly six thousand miles, using sleighs and
relndeeiH, and Unvoting the last four
thousand miles night and da. In that
cit wo learned that tlioontorprisoli.nl
been tntiicly abandoned, anil accoul
iugly lelurned to the United States,
u aching homo in Match, IMS.
Hilling these two cars and a half I
had leal nod the Russian language and
i become interested in Siberia and the
Russian people. Since then I have made
a number of trips to the Russian empiie
' on my own account, inade a critical
stud of tliecotiniiy and its institutions,
taken its pel ioilieals, and lomiitiiil ill

J When the .leanelte tailed tluough
Belli nig straits and disappi an d in the
Arctic ocean in IHS2, I had an iiisiinctive
fetiing that she would be lost and
stiongl ingeil on .Mr. H 'linen tin in

:a iorsoual scinch a'oug the nnilhcin
coast and with the liuililies which 1
knew I could command, do all that man
could do to lescue those in peril. The
I proposition, howovei, did not meet with
appioval and the m titer was (hopped.
I Lieutenant Commander (!oi ringe, w ho
hioiight over tho Lvptinn obelisk, then
became so much luteiested in the sub
ject that ho pioposod, not having the
ready money, to sell his collection of
Egyptian curiosities in order to procure
a fund of say $o,000 in order to prov ide
tho means for making a tiip to the not th
orn coast, but 1 declined to take the
money from such a source and at such u
saciillco when more wealth people
could easily stand in the hi each.
After this Chief Justice Daly suggested
the matter to Mi. Charles A. Dana, of
Tho Sun, and for a time there seemed to
be a piosptct that lie would lcar the ex
pense of an expedition for the rescue of
tho sin vivoisot tlto Jituiette, but while
tho negotiations wile pending President
(iarlkld was shot, and attention thus be
ing divel tid the idea was abandoned. In
