THE DAILY EVEiNlNQ TELEGRAF1I PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 20, 1870.
A Winter Vigil.
In the winter of 186- it fell to nay lot to in
Vestig.te one of the most touching stories of
hne man's endurance and n Indian's ;
vengeance I ever came across in the whole
Northwest. As some of the more carious
portions of the official note-book of an In
dian agent, I transcribe the memoranda re
lating to it.
Albert Black was an honest English gentle
msn, whose adventures in search of lortnne
led bim away from Regent street to wander
in western worlds, and this is the way he
"pnt through" a portion of the winter of that
year. He was residing, with a single com
panion, in a little log cabin at the Indian vil
lage of Bclla-Coola, on the coast of British
Columbia. There was no white man nearer
thnn one hundred miles, but the villages of
many Indian tribes were situated in the imme
diate vicinity. The winter was only half
through; few natives came trading about the
pobt, and an time lay heavily on their
bauds, Black and his companion re
solved to go . hunting for a few days.
A canoe was accordingly fitted out
with a stock of provisions and ammunition,
and with an Indian as steersman and pilot
they proceeded to cruise about among the
islands, now and then landing and stalking
deer, or shooting the ducks and wild geese
which assemble in countless flocks by the
mouths of the northwestern rivers in winter.
The Reason was mild, with but a thin coating
of snow on the ground, no that each night
they encamped in the open air, and slept
well wrapped up in their blankets around
the blazing log fire. Few old explorers
in these countries ever think of car
rying a tent with them, and our hunters
were not possessed of one, even had they
cared to avail themsolres of its shelter.
They had been cruising about in this
manner for several days, when, as usual, they
encamped one night on an island, with the
canoe drawn up on the beach. Their pro
visions they buUt np around them, to guard
them from the attacks of any prowling In
dians or other mishaps. Their Indian pilot
had informed them that he was just about
out of powder and bullets, at the same time
begging to be supplied with some, exhibiting
bis pouch, which contained but two charges.
The hunters were too tired to open their
packages, and, notwithstanding his solicita
tions, they put him off until morning. They
then, as usual, loaded their rifles, the Indian
doing so also; and all three men lay down to
sleep, and all slept save one.
How long they slept Black could not say,
but all that he remembered was being awoke
by the report of a rifle. A low scream, and
then a moan by his side, told him that all was
over with his companion. The Indian's place
was vacant, and before Black could become
fully conscious of his situation, he was fired
at from the dark, and a bullet struck his
thigh. He attempted to rise, but was unable;
Lis leg was fractured. Instantly he grasped
his revolver, and he had scarcely done so be
fore he was consoious of a figure crouching
towards him in the darkness.
He immediately fired, but the shot dil not
take effect, and his would-be murderer re
treated behind some rocks. He now stanched
the blood flowing from his wound as well as
circumstances would permit, tying a hand
kerchief around it. All doubt was now at an
end that the Indian guide, tempted by the
property, had murdered his companion, and
was only prevented ty tne want 01 ammuni
tion from despatching him too. All night
long it seemed a year he kept awake, too
xeited to sleep, though he was faint
from loss of blood. Sometimes he
would relapsa into an uneasy sleep, from
which he would be startled by the barking
of bis little dog, when he would grasp his re
volver, only to see a figure again skulking
into the darkness. Daylight at last came,
and he had now time to contemplate his
eit nation. Helpless, badly wounded, far
from white or even friendly Indian, he
was alone, with an enemy watching every
moment to destroy him, as he had done his
companion, whose glassy eyes glared np at
him. Provisions enough were lying scat
tered around; but none were accessible as
food, save the bag of sugar, and on this his
chief chance of subsistence lay. He knew
enough of science to know that Magendie's
dogs when fed on sugar soon grew emaciated,
but he also knew that it supported life for a
lime. Before night snow fell, and covered
1 he dead body out of his sight. Sometimes
he would relapse into a half-waking sleep,
when again the ever-faithful dog, who seemed
almost consoions how matters stood, would
warn him of the approach of his enemy. It
was in vain that Black attempted
to get a shot at him; and had it not been for
the watchfulness of bis dog-friend, the
wretch must soon have been able to despatch
with his knife the guardian whose revolver
intervened between him and the coveted
property. And so they kept their dreary
vigils, and the snow fell heavily; and
though his leg pained him exceedingly, he
managed to keep warm in his blanket-lined
burrow. The Indian would sometimes dis
appear for hours and even a day, apparently
looking after food. The poor hunter
would then imagine that he had got clear
of his bloodthirsty enemy, when again the
barking of Flora would warn her master. On
one or two occasions the Indian managed to
approach within a few feet of his intended
victim before his presence was detected;
and as both murderer and hunter were
equally intent on i each other's destruction,
escapes were sometimes rather narrow.
Several days elapsed in this manner, until
at last the Indian seemed to have grown
tired, and left the island in the canoe; for
they were no longer alarmed. The sugar
bag was getting nearly done, and the poor
dog was now so weak with hunger, that,
even when it did not absent itself searching
for food on the shore, it was scarcely able to
give an alarm. If Black survived hunger and
his wound, whioh was now getting very pain
ful, the Indian, he knew, would soon return
and accomplish his purpose. With such
thoughts his prospects were gloomy enough,
and so he dozed away the hours, half frozen
and 1 faint. It was the tenth sight (he had
long lost count of time, but found so after
wards) since the murderous attack, when he
was awoke by a loud talking on the beach.
The moon, sailing over the leaden, snowy
Bky, enabled him to reoognize the figures of
several Indians hauling a canoe on to the
beach. He grasped his revolver, deter
mined to sell his life dearly, for he was now
fully persuaded that it must be his murderer
returned with assistance. It was strange,
however, it struck him, that they had landed
in such an exposed situation. "Who are
yon?" he inquired, in the Chinook jargon
the trading language of. the count. A
low, surprised cry came from them. They
were apparently unaware of the presence of
any one but themselves. Again he shouted
more cheerily, and they approached him,
when he was delighted to reoognize the fami
liar faces of several Bella-Cook Indians old
acquaintances of his. lie told them his
story; and as they listened, be uncovered the
body of his murdered companion, they,
every sow and again, bursting into a cry of
horror. Food was prepared, and every at
tention paid to him. The dead body was
buried, and Black conveyed to the Indian
village, where he was carefully nnrsed until
news reached the nearest white man's abode.
The solitary colonist hnrried down, and
happening to have been in earlier days an
officer in the army, he knew a little about
surgery. He dressed Black's woands, and
convened him back to the settlements,
where, under proper medical treatment, he
slowly recovered. But it was many months
before he could walk without crutches, and
to the end of his life he will bear the marks
of that fearful experience of "putting through
the winter" in the dark days of 18G-. As
we have a good deal (in novels) of the gener
ous ravage, I may as well nay that my poor
mend baa to pay well for all tne hospitality
he received. The water he drank, the ground
he Ifiy on, the wood that warmed him, the
food he ate, everything was charged for, but
mort cheerfully paid.
It is, however, a great pleasure to relate
tlat, after the bill wbh paid, the Indian threw
in the execution of the murderer into the
bargain. The avengers of blood found him
in his lodge, comfortably awaiting the death
of Black by starvation or cold, either of which
he no doubt thought would save him all
trouble. He seemed rather to exult when
charged with shooting the white men; but
tie Billa-Coola warriors took a different view
of matters, and, with a summary justice
which would have done credit to a Calif ornian
vigilance committee, they shot him where
he sat.
As for poor Black, I saw him dancing at a
Christmas party not very long ago; but a
terrible limp, which caused his partner to
afterwards style him an "awkward sort of
colonial fellow," told me another tale. All
the Year Hound.
The New Tl.unie Tunnel.
A new tunnel under the Thames has just
been fininhed successfully in London, at a
cost of 16,000; and a third is contemplated.
Mr. Barlow, the engineer, seems to have had
less trouble in this work than his great pre
decessor, Brunei. The London Hewa says of
this tunnel, which is called the subway:
"The mysterious-looking thoroughfare ad
mits of a very brief description. It is a well
constructed tubular iron bridge, about a
quarter of a mile long and seven feet in
diameter, sunk bodily into the bed of the
Thames, so as to be snugly embedded in the
London clay through its entire distance.
Nowhere is the subway nearer than twenty
two feet to the water, and in plaoes it is as
much as fifty feet distant an important
fact to bear in mind in comparing the sub
way with the old Thames tunnel, over the
archcrown of which there were here and there
but four feet to the water. The subway, in
point of fact, dips at the rate of one in thirty.
At present the Tower Hill station at the one
end, and the Tooley street station at the
other, ore more useful than ornamental, espe
cially when the cage by which passengers are
taken down is at the bottom. We ubo the word
'cage' because of its resemblance to that
familiar object of the mining districts, but it
is in reality rather a nicely padded little
apartment, semi-circular in shape, and with
cushioned seat for four or six. Into this the
passenger enters, and the doors are shut.
There is a rumble, a rattle, a consciousness
of steady downward motion, and an intention
perhaps to remark to your neighbor that it is
all very pleasant, but any such reflection is
nipped in the bud by the termination of the
journey, which has occupied about the
time it would take to count a dozen. The
distance is only fifty feet. Through a small
waiting-room you enter a lone;, low carriage.
with seats for seven each side. The signal is
given, the drum begins to revolve, the wire
rope twines swiftly round it, the pretty omni
bus answers to the strain, and in about sixty
seconds the subterranean passage of the
Thames has been accomplished. Safety is
secured in the shafts by an unusually power
ful clip; in the subway by the single line of
tram-rails, upon which collision is impossible.
We walked through the narrow, dark road
yesterday, absolutely dryshod, and without
any inconvenience from defective ventilation.
At times, a listener in the centre of the sub
way can hear strange noises, said to be the
reverberations of paddles beating the river
overhead, and the sonnds of hammering and
thumping on board vessels. The Tower-Hill
fares at present are fixed at a penny and two
pence, but they will probably have to be re
duced by one-half."
A Warning to Theatregoer.
An amusing incident occurred the other
night at the National Theatre, Washington.
In the front row of the parquette sat a beau
tiful, bright little boy, about three and a half
years old, whose appearance and childish
(though shrewd) remarks had attracted muoh
attention, and who, with the natural curiosity
of childhood, asked the meaning of every
thing that struck him as peculiar, among
which, tne large exodus of gentlemen to take
"a smile" was one; he asked the friend who
had him in charge: "Where are all these
people going ? Is the play over ?" He was
told they were "going to get a drink." He
watched them file past as he looked over the
front of the parquette, and took a stout,
elderly gentleman fairly aback by asking him,
in a perfectly audible voice, "Are you going
to take a drink ?" All in the vicinity fairly
yelled with laughter, and clapped hands with
delicht, doubtless to tne astonishment of that
portion of the audience who were not within
hearing of the cause. It is feared the old
gentleman by his looks thought that some
one had prompted the child, but such was
not the case; it was just as stated above.
Pearl. In ilie Uiill'oi' California.
The revenue returns for 18G9 show that
the catch of pearls and shell for the past year
on the Gulf coast of the territory granted to
the "Lower California Company" amounted
to the large sum of $78,000. This, of course,
is the valuation of the pearls given by the
divers and speculators, and is consequently
very much below the actual value of the
catch.
A pearl is sold frequently for $20, which,
resold at Panama, at $200, brings $1000 in
Paris, and in many cases much greater profits
have been made on very fine gems.
Not one-half the catch is ever reported to
the Government, and the yield of the Gulf
for 1809 may be safely estimated at $300,000
in gold.
On the 7th instant there was In the
Treasury of California $88,134 in gold and
t71,743 in currency.
