Shortly be fotv the hour of * Satur
day evening Jack Chambers cheerily
humtuvd a tune as ho was sweeping
out A. B. hall In preparation for the
dance of that niKht. Suddenly he
heard the blas^ of a whistle.
M. paused affrK'hted. Visions of
fir>* came to his mind and h?- conjured
a picture of Skagway in smoking
ruins. Mindful of his duties of a loyal
citizen and member of the fire de
partment. Mr. Chambers hastily ran
<>ut into the street to discover wh^r*
the fire was.
Once in the street he speedily dis
covered that what he supposed was
the fire whistle was but the regular
t; o'clock whistle. Turning to re-en
ter the building a gust of wind
slammed the door in his face and the
catch locked it. His keves were in
the inside and in his haste he had
not donned his overcoat or wraps.
The icy zepUers whinned down the
street and Brother Chambers deemed
it advisable to sot under shelter.
He broke all previous sprinting rec
ords in getting to The Alaskan office
where he borrowed the keyes of the
hall from Jack Keller and returned
to A. B. hall, sadder, wiser? and a
cold?-r man.

The Jefferson of the Alaska Steam
ship company arrived In Skagwav
from Seattle at 4:30 o'clock Sunday
morning with 10."> tons of local freight
and 12 passengers. The Jefferson
liad a comparatively smooth trip.
Among those who arrived on the
Jefferson are: Mrs. W. C. Blanch
ard and Mrs. E. Blanchard, and Capt.
W. P. Porter and wife. Among those
leaving were Mr. and Mrs. R. A. Cor
roll, who will spend two months In
the south: George Illanchard. who
will go to Seattle; A. Watson, secre
tary of the governor of the Yukon,
who is going to Victoria: and Oscar
Gard, who went to Juneau.
As is his custom, Lieut. S. C. Or
chard awoke about 3 o'clock Saturday
morning and replenished his fires,
which were burning low. He heard
the wind whistling outside his home
aud was rather curious to ascertain
the exact temperature. He decided
to step out on the porch and look at
his thermometer.
Lieut. Orchard was clad in pajam
as, slippers and a bath robe. He
gingerly stepped out into the wintry
atmosphere, carefully closing the door
after him, that the house might not
become cold. He looked at the ther
mometer and found it to be about 15
below zero. His curiosity satisfied,
Lieut. Orchard started to go into the
house.
He found the door locked. The
catch lock was on. He was rather
cold by this time, so he lifted his
voice and summoned^ assistance. No
response. Again and again l?o called,
occasionally kicking on the door with
the double purpose of wakening his
household and warming his toes.
Finally Mrs. Orchard heard him and
came down stairs and let him In.
"I was never so cold In all my
life," said Mr. Orchard today. "You
see I wasn't dressed for it." He ad
mits taking several "night caps" to
warm the Inner man before he resum
ed his broken slumbers.
