frightened the robbers.
They quickly backed toward the rear door,
meanwhile covering the crowd with their guns
and disappeared. Deputy sheriffs and police
men were soon on the ground, carefully search

the men. A peculiar fact In connection with
the robbery is that not one OF the forty players
had o revolver.

that Sansen's journey, when the world knows

feat OF mental and physical endurance ever re-
corded OF any human beings. Another account
says that north of S4e north latitude no animal
life was found to exist. Tho northerly flight
OF birds 10 believed TO be due to their having
lost thoir way. or having been blown out of
their course. The depth of wator at the furthest
north attained seems to indicate that there can
DO no land near. Soundings taken at $40 gave
depths of 1910 to 1880 fathoms. Further
north the lead reached greater DEPTHS, as much
