ATHABAsCA LANDING, Capada, Sept
6.--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 MidnightsSun.
Mr.. Harrison says Ernest Stefansson
of Harvard university, after whom the
expedition has been named himself
brought the news OF the disappearance of
three members of the party and expressed
the fear that they had met death in the
frozen north.
The missing men are Captain Mikkel-
son, a dane; Ernest Leffingwell OF Chi
cago and j. Marks. They left the ship
in February with sixty days provision
for the supposed land to the north, and
have been gone seventy days and no news
had been received from them.
One of their teams of dogs had re-
turned and it is feared that the party
will never be heard from again. The
schooner Duchess of Bedford, Stefans-
son thought, had probably sunk. The
ship had filled with water, probably
from the ice strain, but they had been
able to remove everything OF value to
CHRIsTIANA, Sept. 6-Captain Ronald
| Amundsen was interviewed here yesterday
| in regard to the alarming news that the
| steamer Duchess of Bedford. upon which
| the Anglo-American Arctic exploration
expedition under Captain Elmer Mikkel-
| son 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
| sufficient time to save themselves and
place their stores on the ice before their
vessel sank. II this be so. they have
with them provisions to last for seventy
days Altogether Captain Amundsen takes
| a very hopeful view of the situation.
| The American Arctic exploration party
sailed from Victoria in May of 1906 on
| board the Duchess of Bedford to seek
| large stretch of land believed to exist
| in the Beaufort sea. 1t numbers fifteen
persons all told, including Ernest lief

4 The expedition was heard from In
March this year. The letters then re-
ceived were dated November q and q,
1906, and had been carried over the ice
fields to Point Barrow
Ernest Stefannson was instructor in
ethnology in the Peabody museum at Har-
ward university before leavip-t for the
north last fall. He is Canadian, but he
spent most of his life in the United States
and studied traces of ancient life in the
| Dakotas. He has twice made trips to
Iceland in the interest of science.
