SCHOONER GOES
DOWN IN ARCTIC
Anglo American Expedition
Comes to Grief in Frigid
Regions of Far North.
MEMBERS FATE DOUBTFUL
THREE MISSING AND SUPPOSED
TO BE DEAD.

Athabasca Landing, Canada, Sept g.
News of the probable loss of the schooner
Duchess of Bedford. the ship belonging
TO the AnglO-American Arctic expedition,
which had hopes to find a new continent
north of the Mackenzie river. was brought
here by Alfred Harrison, who has been
beyond the Arctic circle for two years
and who came here on the steamer Mid
night Sun. Mr. Harrison says Ernest
Stefannsen of Harvard university, after
whom the expedition has been called, him
self brought the news of the loss of their
boat TO Herschel island. He also brought
the news of the disappearance of three
members of the party and expressed the
fear that they had met death in the froz-
en- north
The missing men are Captain Mikkel-
son. a Dane, Ernest LeffingWell of Chi
cagO and ]. Marks. They left the ship in
February with sixty days provisions, for
the supposed land to the north, and had
been gore seventy days and no news had
been received from them.
One of their teams of dogs had returned
and it is feared the party will never be
heard from again. The schooner Duchess
Of Bedford. Stefannsen thought, had prob
ably sunk. The ship had filled with wa
ter, probably from the ice strain, but they
had beeen able to remove everything of
value TO the main shore.

BELIEVES PARTY SAFE.
Captain Amundsen interviewed Re-
uardinu News From the North.

Christiania, Sept. 6.-Captain Raold
AmUndsen was interviewed here yester-
day in regard to the alarming news that
the steamer Duchess of Bedford, upon
which the Anglo-American Arctic explor-
alton expedition, under Captain Elmer
Mfkkelsen. was making its way into the
north, had been lost.
Captain Amundsen said he believed the
members of the expedition were alive. He
thinks that in all likelihood. they had SUI
ficient time to save themselves and place
their stores on the ice before their vessel
sank If this be so. they have with them
provisions to last for seventy days Al
together, Captain Amundsen takes very
hopeful view of the situation.
The American Arctic expedition sailed
from Victoria in May of 1906. on board
the Duchess of Bedford. to seek a large
stretch of land believed 10 exist in the
Beaufort sea It numbers fifteen persons
all told. including Ernest LeffingweI, a
Chicago geologist-
The expedition was heard from in
March this year The letters then re-
ceived were dated Nov. p and q. 1906. and
had been carried over the ice fields to
Point Barrow. where they were delivered
10 the Canadian mounted police.

SIXTY DAYS PROVISIONS.
Four Explorers journeyed over the
Ice and No News Came Back.


Victoria, B. c., Sept. 6.-News of the loss
of the Arctic exploration expedition
which left here May q, 1906 on the
schooner Duchess of Bedford, was re-
ceived from Athabasca landing in Cana
dian dispatches. Alfred Harrison, an Eng
lish explorer, who had been working for
two years in Banks Land, reached Atha-
basca landing on the steamer Midnight
Sun from Herschel island, and reported
that Mr.. Stefanssen of Harvard univer-
sity, who is a member of the Anglo
American expedition on the Duchess OF
Bedford being the ethnolcgist, had ar
rived at Herschel island shortly before the
steamer left and reported that the Ouch
ess of Bedford. formerly the Victoria
sealing schooner Beatrice, had filled with
water at FIT AXlous and overreaching,
had been removed to the shore. the YES
sci being expected to sink. Captain Egn1T
Mikkelsen, Leffingwell, and another
whose name Harrison did not learn, went
in February over the ice from the schOOn-
er on the journey decided upon with a
view of making sOundings to ascertain
if land existed as believed by the explor-
ers in the Beaufort sea-
No News Received.
They had been gone seventy days and
no news was received of them. A dog
belonging TO their team had returned
alone and it was not expected that the
trio would be heard from again. They
had sixty days provisions. The last di-
news the ATCDC explorers Was
dated Near Baxter island, November -
and was received in April last. At that
time Mikkelsen and Leffingwell were on
their way to Herschel island, and it is
generally understood that this was their
last visit to that place. The intention
when the party left Victoria was to re-
main in winter quarters until the spring.
when Mikkelsen, Leffingwen and another
intended to make a journey to the north
westward over the ice to make soundingS
with view to the discovery of the I'M
known land believed to exist in the Beau
fort sea The Duchess of Bedford when
she left here. took food prepared in sealed
tins each of which contained a week S
food These tins were specially prepared
for handling during the trip.
LeffingwelI's Letter.
In the last letter written by Mr.. LET
fingweI, in November, ne said the jour
ney over the ice was to be started in
March last and was expected TO occupy
two months. After giving a graphic and
most interesting description of the jour
ney over the ice TO HerSchel island Mr..
Leffingwell said:
Next March Captain Mikkelsen and I
shall make a two months trip north over
the ice from Flaxman island to explore
that area. There is a good prospect of
discovering land there. II has been re-
ported by whalers the tide indicates it
and the fact that the ice pack never
leaves the shore for more than a few
miles. These all point to land not more
than hundred miles away. In June or
July I hope to go up the Kagua river
to do some geological work. When navi-
cation opens in August we shall sail to
Herschel island and call for mail. Thence
to Banks land and make our sled trip
west over the ice as was our original pro-
gram"
