Flvo bodies wero washed ashoie yes terdny. No communication can bo had on account of tho tetriblo breakers. Yes, one small row boat did venture out to tiie Tiicoma which is anchoied two miles fiom show. A man w! o has been heiu all summer expected his wife was abonwl. Ho hited two men with a Mintll bont to go after her. It looked almost like suicide for them to attempt it, but money will liho men to do anything After several unsuccess ful vfTorts they succeeded in getting over the lirst bleaker. Thousands on shore watched their evrry move. After a perilous trip they reach the ship. The husband stands on shoro atd watches eagctly, wondering no doubt if she will liavo tho courage to attempt the trip in tho frail craft. They stait for shoro. Yes, she is in the boat. Had sho not como twenty-llvo hundred miles to see him and was site to be thwarted in her itl'oit by a couple of miles of breakers. With tho samo spirit of heroism that actuated Grace Darling to bravo death, and with great courage heat back tho seemingly insur mountable billows to save the lives of tho shipwrecked crow, so sho would allow no obstacle' to separate her ftom her husband. Theto is only one way to cross tho breakers, and that is to keep the boat straight across tham, if for an instant it is alio wed to get in the trough sideways, it is swnmped im mediately On they come; one mo ment standing apparently on the crest of the bicakor with not mote than one thlid of tho litllo boat touching the wator and sconungly undecided as to whether it will pitch forward or back ward, but a strong, steady, well direct ed pull on tho oars at this critical junc ture causes it to decide on a for wawl movement, and dowu in tho trough it pitches, and for a few seconds is lost to view, anil about the tiino you have concluded it is lost, you nro gratified to see it mounting tho next breaker ahead whete the same thing is repealed again and again until tho shoro is icached, only, asyou got nearer shoro the breakers Increase in si.u and power, and when they reached the last breaker perhaps ono hundred feet ftom shoro came tho most critical time of tho trip. When they stood on the crest of tho last wave tho boatman must calculate that when ho makes this final pitch ho must get tho boat far enough 011 tho beach so that the umtei current of tho receding water will not draw it back; at that critical moment it seemed as if I did not breatho for livo minutes. Tho final pitch was made; they pulled on tho oars asonlj two tecklc s, experienced boatmen can pull; they got within a couple of rods of shore; tht.y sou tho unilt'icur lent would draw them back; behind and appioaching with fiightful rap idity was another giant wave; if it sti uclc them they would all be carried out to sea and engulfed. Thoy must decide and act at the samo time; no vowl was spoken; tho woman didn't even fqueal, but when tho boat had reached the farthest point towatd shoro and seeing in an instant it would bo drawn back and knowing that tho husband and hundreds wore on shore to help gtt her out, they threw her out in tho water and jumped out, grabbed her by tho time sho touched it, and tier hushau 1 was there as soon as they nud before tho advancing wave could reach them tluy weio ashort ; rather 11 cool but exciting rocrpviou. If Hi at had been my wifo I nppiehend who would have said, "Its no farther from shoro to tlio ship than from ship to shore, and if hu wants to sec mo any imoiu than I do him ho had belter come out and sco me." A man trying to row his boat into Snako river last night was copBired ami drowned, I did not see It. I am sorry that I havo wrilten m mu jh as I wanted to sond you some nativo poetry that I copied from tho Nome Dally Nows I will send it and if tho letter Is too long I would suggest thatjou publish tho poem nud omit the loiter as the poem describes the mining situation heir bettet than I can.
