the most delectable place for a birth
place. But baby was born there not
long ago on Herschel island. This was
nearer to the north pole than any baby
was ever born before. Of course, there
are Eskimo babies in the arctic region,

this was white baby. Herschel is
land is off the north coast of Alaska,
1900 miles farther north than Sitka.
There are few white people on the is
land, families of the whalers who cruise
in these waters. There was great ex.
element over the arrival of the little
stranger, and the wives of the four
whaling captains who were there, were
ready to almost idolize her; an Episco-
pal minister was in the camp at the
time, having been sent there as a mis-.
sionary. With all the ceremony pos.
sible in such place, the little girl was
christened Helen Herschel Sherman,
her father being Capt. Sherman. The
baby came at the season of the year
which has continuous daylight, and
seemed very much pleased with such
