coast OF Iceland, $500 miles from the
point where II was cast overheard on
the Alaskan coast In Its tortuous
course It probably Travelled 1900 miles.
Its drift across the Arctic Ocean proves
once more the existence of an arctic
current flowing from Behring Sea
across the north pole region.
Fifty splndle-shaped casks were con.
structed from designs submitted by Ad-
mlral Melville and were sent north on
United States revenue cutters and whal-
Ing ships to Behring Strait and there
dropped overheard in 1899, 1900 and
1901.
