! The marshal's office will com^
munlcate any information that may
be gained concerning the niss-ug
man, to the brother in Scotland.
Marshal H. L. f^iuikner yesterday
received confirmation of the above
in a cablegram from Deputy .Marshal
John Goodell of Sitka.
As the news first reached Sitka,
j It was reported that Indians had
found the stiffened body of Lyons on ?
j the beach, and had gone into Hoonah
' with the report of their findings.
Yakobl island, whore the tra Vo!
' scene is laid, is on the open sea, not !
j far from Chicagoff.
PROSPECTOR DIES WHILE
SEEKING ASSISTANCE.
! SITKA, March I'l ? Af^or clcht
*oag uays and nights m tile mercy of
| the Pacific Ocean, a<irift* in a fat
I bottomed boat, afi-or finding 'he
' body of his drowned partner, and
; after having given himself up for
lost. Jack Froot, a prospec tor, arriv
1 ed here on the launch Klk Saturday i
| from Chicagoff, where he was brought
by Frank Webb in the Murlllett, the [
iatter having picked him up out iJe
af the Lusiena Straits.
Jack Frost ar.d Howard Lyons
bought a flat-bottomed motorboat,
Alice, at Pinta Bay last month, in
tending to spend a week at Tenakee
and then start out on a prospecting
trip which was to lad all summer.
They left Pinta Bay on February 26.
Off Yakobi Island they broke a
coujple of rings on their engine, but
managed to reach t! e shelter of a
small harbor. Tfc. v remained here
for two days, and then Lyons de
ckled to row ba> k in the dinghy to
Pinta Hay and get assistance. It was
agreed tliat Frcst should ere<t a
large cross at the entrance to the
little harbor, so that the place could
be recognized from the outs'de by
Lyons on his return. A week later,
Lyons not having arrived with the
expected assistance. Frost walked out
again to the entrance of the cove to
see if the cross was sti'l up. On the
beach he found the dead body of his
lartner, which ha?! been wa he! in
by the tide.
Returning to the launch. Frost cut
toles in the sides of the launch's cab
n. made a pair of sweeps arid de
"ormlned to row to some place where
ie would be in sight of pas- in? ships. |
Outside of the harbor his boat was
aught by an off-shore breeze ami
swept out to sea. For three days he
endeavored to row bark to sh we
tn<l then giving himself up for k>s;
*y down and s'ept. On awakening!
he resumed the heavy lalior at the
sweeps.
Meantime Webb left PhTa Eay in i
he Muiillett, and nrtst have parsed!
FVost while he was out to sea. Arriv
at Tenakee he Inquired for Frost,
"i" 1 finding that he hft.l not arrived,
starts! back to look for him. Tie
sighted the Alice in the 0"ean off
the entrance to Lus4ena Straps, and
frmnd Frost more dead than alive.
AN OLD STORY RETOLD.
WHEN the Father of His Coun
try was a boy
He received a Utile hatchet for
a toy.
And ho very soon was show
ing
That Its use he wri: r s knijwing.
For he did a lot of chopping stunt* with
Joy.
He pot busy with hit h.itciwt on the floor,
And on every side he ; tied up chips ga
lore;
Then, with little hatchet Hashing.
Chairs ai>d table* l:e v. g:\sh;ng.
And when tirrd of th t I.- -'hopped the
kitchen door
Being scolded for the t >vo he ! id m do.
Little Oeorgle to Ms father'* orchard
strayed.
Tliero a cherry tree v growing.
And. with pride of conq:i< t glowing,
George again got busy wi.h h:s trusty
blade.
Just about the time the tree came down
kerflap
Little Ueorge gl.inccd round and saw his
angry pap
He remarked. "There's trouble brew
ing.
And there'll soon be something doing.
With poor little Georgie up against the
?trap."
'Twas a ticklish situation George was in.
He must 'fess right up or falsehood glibly
spin.
Others would have told a whopper,
But the sturdy little chopper
Told the truth and saw his father proudly
grin.
" 'Twas myflnest tree."said littleGeorgle's
dad,
"And at flrst I had good cause for getting
mad.
But you've made a full confession
And without the least digression.
So come to my arms. ray. truthful little
lad."
It was thus that little George acquired
great fame.
Which In later year* brought out his
land's acclaim.
For his splendid reputation
Won for him such approbation
That the leader of the nation he became.
With this story goes a moral all can see
When a little boy chops down a cherry
tree
He should never think of lying.
But with truth be satisfying.
And perhaps the nation's president he'll
be.
? Theodore It. Boice.
LEFT BEHIND.
THE cat will r> am or else expire,
A blcsved silorce bringing.
But drat the folks who go away
And leave their phone bell ringing!

The tine waves of the -en are gen
erated by the wind as line waves are
generated by the wind when it ripple#
a field of grain ready for the harvest.
The waves that run ovrr the field of
grain are real waves. ofi<*n waves In 1
tierce action. The spears of grain are
immovably fixed to the Ground by their '
roots, but every blade transmits its os j
cilia tory movement to the next blade 1
Ju.st so liquid molecules are formed.
In the middle of a vast ocean, such j
as the equatorial Atlantic, for instance. !
great regular undulations are seen mul
tiplying In parallels like the furrows
In a vast plowed field On the broad 1
ocean the liquid mounds of the sea rise I
with every swing with more or less i
even regularity.
The mariner s Imagination has given
the great waves of the high sea the
reputation of fabulous height. Itelia- I
ble authors have talked of waves
mountain high ami of waves 120 feet
in height. Exact measurement has giv
en a closer estimate.
The waves of the high sea. of the ma
jor oceans. attain the height of fifty
feet under the exceptional conditions
of a tempest In the vk lnity of C'ajte
llorn and the Cape of Cood u *
The surges here estimated are those in
free circulation on file high seas
ben a wave, whatever Its strength
or its weakness, meets a solid obstacle,
whether that obstacle be a nv-ky clilT
or a ship, the swell rebounds to ex
traordinary heights l ighthouses are
often swept by the sea from base to
summit
i -ie length of waves is Itefweeu
twenty ntid thlrt\ times their height,
and the slope of the sea s hills is very
gentlo ,\ wave sixrr feet high Is
somewhere Itetween 1.000 and 1,200
fe?-t long.
At t lie axis of the revolving tempest i
? a ltd a cyclone there are many wave
systems, moving in all directions,
mooring and combining. VVhen the cy
clone i- In art ion the sea Is said to
"burst ils iN.nnds."
At such a lime all regularity of wave
succession teases, and the sea runs
wild, with force beyond human power I
to estimate. Blocks of granite weigh
ing from 1,000 to 1,200 tons are caught
by the sea and rolled like pebbles to
distanres of 300 feet and more, and I
sea walls are splintered as by hatch- j
ets. The "live power" of a furious
sea is estimated by multiplying the
mass of the surge by the square of Its
speed.
When the surf, impelled by the drive
of the broad sea. meets a solid obsta

square meter of water ThU estimate,
