LOST IN THE FOREST MADE SOUP FROM.

Harold Cecil, the miner cou- gin of the present Marquis of Salis bury,and of the former premier, who bas had his share of perils and dan- gers on nearly every gold field in the world, and who frankly states that his remarkable adventures beyond the Porcupine . eclipse bas passed through. Tao a reporter he told his thrilling story, which he is on his way to re count to the family at Hatfield, who insisted on his going home before re- turning to British Columbia. He left on the fast express for New York last night, sailing from there by: fastest steamer across the Atlantic. It was, he said, towards the end of last OctoBer that he came down from British Columbia, having heard of the rising fame of the new Porcupine fields. In November, pursuing his in- vestigations alone on the outskirts of the field, where for several reasons he made himself known to no one, he fol lowed the occasional cropping of reefs into the forest, and there he ut terly lost his bearings. In the cloudy days towards the end of November he wandered he knew not where, evidently the farther he travel led getting deeper and deeper into the woods. Ile was without portahle food but he had a revolver in his belt, a miner's axe, a hammer, and some matches, He came at length to a creek which ran through a lake. Out of this he got some fish by weaving a nét of boughs and grasses. After a week or two he was enveloped in a heavy snow storm, and he realized that his chances of reaching civiliza- tion at all were slender.
