ALMOST KILLED BY
A GRIZZLY BEAR
The story of a_ hair-breath escape
from death at the paws of a great,
ugly brute of a grizzly bear in the
woods of the upper Stewart country
is brought to Dawson by Isaac Lusk,
the Dason-Mayo mail carrier. Lusk
tells the story as follows:
,4fiob Levac, a rugged frorftiers
man weighing fully 180 pounds and
standing more than six feet, was
cut with his dog and gun four miles
beyond Fraser Falls one day be
tween Chritsmas an<d New Year's.
Going round the corner of a cabin.
Levac suddenly ran face to face with
with a hug# grizzly. He says the
brute seemed mountain high, and
was so close up there was no time
to shoot nor to run. The bear gave
Levac a terriffic clout, and keeled the
man over with one blow of the huge
iron-tipped claw. Levac saw it was
useless to attempt to scramble to.
his feet or to offer the beast resis
tance. He therefore concluded the
best thing to do was to play possum,
and to endeavor to give the bear
the idea he was dead!" This plan was
followed out successfully, but not
withont much suffering.
FEAR SUSPICIOUS
“Bruin was suspicious of the man,
and evidently determined to mangle
him and crush the last spark of life
from his body. The brute pawed
and struck the body of the man time
and again, and rolled him over and
over in thesnow. Then the bear
would use his teeth and pick up the
man by the clothing and shake him
like a terrier would shake a rat.
“All this time Levac feigned death
or helplessness, and was utterly pas
sive. Bruin became tired of venting
hij spleen on what evidently was an'
inanimate object, Jjut again returned
to the attack. He possibly would
have kept up the assults until the
man was exhausted or battered to
death, but Levac's faithful dog.
which had remained close by, wateh
ing intently his chance, made an at
tack at the heels of the bear. The
don snapped incessantly and irritated
bruin so that the big fellow eventu
ally gave chase to the dog and fol
lowed him a long distance.
Made Get Away.
It was then Levac saw his chance
and sci-ambled to his feet and sneak
ed away in the woods and was safe.
The dog hero, however, was struck
by the bear and so severely injured
that he eventually died from the
wounds.
“It is believed the attack by the
bear on Levac lasted ten minutes or
longer and it is a marvel the man
survived. Nothing could have saved
him had he not been heavily cloth
ed in furs and otherwise, which ser
ved as a padding and protection a
nainst the blows.
Secured Dog Team.
“After limping away from the
scene of the attack, Levac secured
a dog team and traveled along 29
miles over the snowy trail through
the Arctic wilderness to Mayo, where
he received assistance in dressing
his badly beaten body. He was
bruied from head to foot and was
considerably scratched about the
neck. It was a marvel the man ever
lived to even tell the tale.”

“PRINCES” ISLAND
SUDDENLY FAMOUS
The Princes' Islands, brought sud
denly info prominence by being sug
gested as the meeting place of re
presentatives of the various Russian
factions and the allied Governments,
get their name because they served
as a place of exile hundreds of years
ago by Princes of the Byzantine Em
used to punish disobedient dignitaries
by confining them on these islands
—not such a hard fate after all, since
they are only ten mi;es from Cons
tantinople, set in the lovely blue Sea
of Marmora, and rich In beautiful
scenery.
Now there are no more Princely
exiles on the islands, but thousands
of tourists still visit them annually.
There are in all eight islands in
the group, of which only four are in
habited. The others are mere rocky
islets, frequented by fishermen, and
made unpleasant by enormous num
bers dogs relegated there by the
Young Turkish Government in an en
deavor to rid Constantinople of its
superfluous canine population.
The largest and most beautiful is
land of the group is Prinkipo, upon
which the Russians and representa
tives of the Allies will undoubtedly
meet if the projected conference is
ever held. Prinkipo is twelve miles
from Constantinople, and is the most
thickly populated ctM ail. With its
five hills covered with dense groups
sweet-smelling pines and girt by the
limpid blue of the Sea of Marmora,
Prinkipo seems a bit of fairyland to
the visitor approaching in the steam
boat from Constantinople. On the
top of each hill is a church or mon
astery.
The principal pastime among the
Summer visitors to Prinkipo is don
key riding. One may often see hun
dreds of tourists, in one big caval-j
cade, circling the pretty island. Car-j
riage- riding is also a favorite pasl
time.
Taking one of the littie steamboats
plying between Prinkipo ar.^ Cons-;
tantinople one comes, after a five
minutes’ sail to Halki, the next is
land in size to Prinkipo. Halki, like’
its larger sister, has numerous cafes
by the water side, where bands play’
for the delectation of Summer resi
dents. It also has a naval academy
and a theological college of the
Greek Orthodox Church, with hun-,
dreds of students wearing long hair;
and picturesque uniforms. From this
college many patriarchs of the Greek
Church have been graduated.
Ten minutes by steamboat from
Halki is Antigoni, third in size of the
group, an islet of picturesque pine-clad
hills, with an ancient monastery. On'
Antigoni many retired patriarchs of
the Greek Orthodox Church make
:heir homes.
Between Antigoni and Costantinople
tod ten minutes’ sail from the former
s the Island of Proti, the only other
nhabited island of the Princes group
tnd the highest of all.
