LOST IN ARCTIC.
SCHOONER. CAUGHT IN ICE. NOME (Alaska), .Oct. 23. The Arctic has claimed four more victims. The schooner Silver Wave, caught in the ice, has drifted away into the dark in a hopeless region, u here she will never more be heard or. The Silver Wave is the fourth vessel lost beyond Behring this year. She was caught in the same field which enveloped #the Kindersley, but after that ship disappeared. The' Silver Wave had a dozen passengers, who were landed safely by Captain Hegness and the engineer. These two camped ashore all night, but slushy ice next day prevented their only small boat go.ng out to bring ashore the four of the crew still on board. Captain Hegness waited for better weather, wdiich never came, and the w'ind carried the ship and the icefield out to sea When the ship was last seen signals of distress were still flying. Captain Hegness put up a hopeless search for a fortnight.—Sydney Sun Cable.
