parties saved us very serious privations
Three attempts to reach a high latitude
failed. The scientific work, however,
as planned, was carefully carried out by
William j. Peters, of the United States

Our rescue was due to the splendid
efforts of William S. Champ, (secretary
ofthe late William ziegler), commanding
the relief expedition, who, owing to the
terrible weather, failed to reach us last
year, and to the untiring zeal of Capt.
Kjeldsen and his Norwegian officers

forced their way through solid ice foes
and finally reached us. An abundance
of stores had been left on the Franz Jo-

Peter Robertson, the veteran and en-
PERTAINING writer Of the San Francisco
Chronicle. has long been partial to the
scheme Of including his views upon
art and artists in a series of Sunday
dialogues. Recently he devoted his
talk to the subject OF originality in
drama building and deduced some in
teresting arguments. Notice:
Are there no more great plays?"
asked the Fellow lin the Corner as
he sat down 4 am growing weary to
see some acting"
The Old Gentleman went on puffing
his cigar and looking into the fire.
1T seems to me-" said the Candid
Man, the art of writing drama is lost
The original plays all seem so empty"
Original" growled the Old Man.
Well. we might have some modern
drama. L mean there must be so many
differences between the new and the
old"
Did it ever strike you" and the

mouth and looked at the speaker. that

IF you win have it So" replied the
Old Man. Nobody knows where the
greatest of our serious dramas in all
time really originated. Every fellow
who wrote a drama, a real drama, went
back anywhere from fifty 10 five hun
dred, maybe five thousand, years for
his pot We say some of our great
est dramatic works started in Boo
caccio. but Boccaocio started from
somebody else. That has been proved
So 1t seems that no modern drama. no
modern serious story, makes or ever
has made a living work. So. my friend.

and make il Oslt OF them.
Nobody has been original, them re-

Everybody is original, but il seems

The things themselves were all in the

sun and began to spin around on its

1T does seem funny when you re-

the Fellow in the Corner. Even the

We'll. not exactly that but he
