OFF TO ARCTIC SHORES.
DR. COOKS COLLEGIATE ExPEDI-
 TIOy READY TO s.iIL.

| Will Leave New York Thursday by Steam | CT Miranda-The List of Explorers. l The party of students and scientists
 who are to spend the summer in Green
 land under the direction of Dr. Freder'
 ick A. Cook will leave New York on
 Thursday of this week. The steamer
 Algerine. which was to have been char
 tered for the journey. was held at St.
 Johns on account of law suit. and Dr.
 Cook has made arrangements to substi.
 tute for her the steamer Miranda of the
 Red Cross line. The Miranda Ia admir-.
 ably adapted to Arctic service. having had many q tussle with Ice foes of
 Newfoundland. She is large steamer
 about lSS feet in length, with q gross | tonnage of HOO and speed of thirteen
 knots. She has accommodations for about sixty passengers. is roomy and
 well equipped throughout, md her cosy ladies' cabin will be appreciated by the
 three or four ladies who are expected
 to be of the party.
 The Miranda has been in southern
 waters and was delayed at Greytown for several days. She did not leave Kingston, Jamaica, until June 26. and consequently could not reach New York as early as Dr. Cook had hoped. If the original plan of the cruise is carried out without other delays there will yet be sufficient time to accomplish the va rious objects of the expedition and re- turn before the first of October.
 The news that Bjorling and Kalste- nius, the Swedish explorers who left Newfoundland in 1892 and were cast away on the desolate shores west of Baffin bay, have left for Labrador in an open boat, may change Dr. Cooks plans to some extent. He was intend- ing to spend several days in a search for these men, who were supposed to be living with the Eskimos of Ellesmere Land awaiting rescue. If the report of their safety prove true 1t will mean a saving of valuable time to the present expedition.
 It is expected that about fifty persons will sail on the Miranda on Thursday, including party of Eskimos who rep resented their race at the worlds fair, and are now to be carried back to their homes in Labrador. The steamer will Cape Breton island, where she will re- ceive coal. Thence she will go to Rig oulette, labrador, and from there across to Greenland.
