| skill is that only one man out OF the SO, died.
| During June and July the prospect was
not encouraging and the men began to face
the prospect of death. July 30th, when
everybOdy's spirits were at lowest ebb, the
relief ship was discovered, six miles away,
with the Stars and Stripes floating at her
mast. At first the men could not believe
their eyes, and then they were frantic with
joy. DR.. Shorkley said it was impossible
to describe the scenes enacted. This ship
anchored ON the edge of the ice, two miles
away at $50 o'clock, and at 440 O'Clock
every member of the party were aboard with
their equipment, and the ship was on her
way to Cape Dillon, where sledge party
was ont for the men at Rudolph Land
/ They were brought back in safety and
within II days were within the postal union
and within reach of cable station in Nor
way, where they sent the news of their safe
| arrival to friends at home. 1t was re-
markable fact th4t the only man for whom
fatal news was awaiting was the Norwegian
sailor who had died. A message came for
him. .reportng the death of his wife. The
party landed in Norway August 9th
| Under the topic impressions of the
Arctic DR.. Shorkley made some very in
teresting statements. In answer to the
| question "What is the use of it all - he
said that the world would not be subdued
until man had been all over it, and that
i the characteristics of the race were such
that until itswas.done people would not be
satisfied. He said he had often been asked,
"What of Peary's chances" If he has
superiority in his individual equipment he
saw no reason why he should not be sue
cessful. The impression that the Arctic is
a land of silence is miscOnception, said
DR.. Shorkley. The arctic is distinctly not
'land of silence" The low temperature
makes everything vibrant, and the ice foes
and. bergs in motion make an absolutely
deafening noise. The idea that the at
mosphere is calm is also mistake ken one, as
the. wind is very bosterous and often has a
velocity of 100 miles an hour, which in addi-
tion to the intense blackness and cold,
makeslthe arctic not the pleasantest place
in the world.
Cold, DR.. Shorkley said, is the least
obstacle to arctic explorations, as the
moisture in the atmosphere and the open
water and movement of the ice, is infinitely
greater 1t is the "iand Of the midnight
SUM- astrOnomically, but in actual ex-
periepce one sees but very little of it, One
summer the 1st of June was pleasant and
the next fair day was the 18th of July. AS
to the climate Dr.. Shorkley said that an old
French guide sized it up correctly when he
said we had winter II months, and bad
weather weeks. The cruelty of life there
is one sof its unpleasant features. All
animals must live OF each other, and man
has to fall into the same scheme, With the
hunger sense of helplessness and all, comes
d realization of mans insiguificance, and,
Dr. Shorkey says that in the land OF
colossal forces they can mean but one thing,
and that is God.

There were many threats against his
