EXPLORERS.
LOST FOR SIX YEARS
When explorers leave, their native tured by a tribe of savages who had
shores for little-known parts of the
world, there is no knowing if they will
ever return.
Some disappear utterly; but there
are eases where they have been given
up for -lead, yet have returned or been
round after an absence of many years,
Take the case- of the heroic mis-
sionary explorer, David Livingstone,
for instance. He vanished in the un-
known interior of African. and when
more than six years had elapsed with-
out nerws of him, he was mourned as
dead. Yet after all that time Stanley
found him alive and well at Ujijl,. on
Lake Tanganyika, which is almost in
the centre of the country.
A little while later Stanley himself
disappeared, together with three other
white men and 353 uative porters..
The expeiitio•n set out from the
east coast of Africa in November,
1874, and when. nearly three years had
elapsed 'without tidings, the worst
was feared
But on August 4, 1877, Stanley turn-
ed up unexpectedly at Boma, on the
west coast, having marched by devi-
Surnames and Their Ori.

came to be called. He was, a hunter
and prospector who was twice report- held the island of Gigha for the Mae -
ed lost in the frozenUireste,s of North- donaldts,
ern Canada. Yet he turned upalive
and well after -disappearing for seven
months, and then again for eleven
months.
When, however, he disappeared a
third time, and in a blizzard., while
guiding an expedition' along the
shores of the Polar Sea., everybody
thought it was all over with him.
An Eskimo Chief.
Nearly six years elapsed. Then as
inspector of what was at that time the
North-West Mounted Police, in the
course of a. journey of .1,800 miles
ons ways right across the continent— across the frozen land which stretches
along the coast from o
a journey of over 7;000 miles -through Bay to
Alaska, came upon a tribertbe of Eskimo
who acknowledged! a white, man as
their chief. The white man was none
other than Lucky Moore,
He had, he explained, been found by
an Eskimo hunter when on the point
of death. from bold and starvation, and
had remained with the tribe ever
since, not daring to run the risk of
reaching the settlements, on account
of one of his feet having been ampu-
tated owing to frost -bite.
Tho stirring story of Arctic explora-
tion abounds with similar incidents.
The Canadian explorer, ' Stefansson,
and two -companions, were given up
for dead when their ship was crashed
by the ice and sunk.
Two years later they were found in
Banks Land,:a large island in the Arc-
tic Ocean. They had subsisted main -
territory the major portion of which
had never, before been visited by
white men.
The terrible journey had cost the
lives- of his three European compani-
ons, 'and of his 353 porters. only 115
had survived. •
Captured by Savages.
A few years ago a native, bearing a
letter, arrived at a settlement near
the mouth of the Fly River in New
Guinea, the huge island north of Au--
tralia,.
To everybody's amazement the let-
ter was found to have been written
by a Danish explorer named Peterson
who; four years previously, had start-
ed with three companions to explore
the unknown interior of the island,
and had long been given up for dead.
They had, it appeared, been cap, ly on seal meat.

Advent of Autumn.
When fall's first early frosts subdue
the ground,
And paint with artist's fingers all the
trees;
Unfurl bright golden banners to the
breeze;
And scatter leaves o'er every vale and
mound;
The goldenrod bedecks the byway*
'round;
A stray, brown bee roves o'er its yel-
low seas
Then silence falls in magic mysteries,
As Summer's skies in Autumn's haze
are 'drowned.
And 'neath the murky mirage o'er the
river,
The wildling asters in profusion grow;
The yellow catkins nod brown heads
and quiver,
Just as they did this time a year ago,
There stirs a breeze; the aspens dance
and shiver; -
The buttouwoode and mipies murmur
low.

It tugged and pulled in every gale
Against the roots that bound
