the Northwest Passage was fixed. and by dint
Of ardent agitation and much practical hard
work he succeeded in organizing the expedition
which these two volumes commemorate. There
is something ingratiating about the spirit in
which he writes. Never a difficult task
undertaken with more eagerneSs or executed
with mere of cheerful devotion. When the Gjoa
at last sighted Nelson Head Barring Land
and Amundsen knew that his cherished pur-
pose had been accomplished. he experienced an
emotion of exultant happiness i'll which his
reader cannot but share
Captain Amundsen did his work in a small
but very sturdy vessel, and with the aid of
men who in complete harmony with him.
and accordingly made the long and often
monotonous voyage uncommonly pleasant.
They made the trip out from Christiania with
fair rapidty and few exciting adventures. One
incident, however. was enough to stretch their
nerves for a long time. It is thus described:

The author had one other desperately anx-

to reduce his ship to fragments. but In the

The periods spent in winter quarters were
marked by the tasks which the now extensive
literature OF Arctic exploration has made Ia
milfar and even commonplace. When the
weather released the patient voyagers they
picked their way through known waters. en-
tered those which had been awaiting the dls-
coverer, and So continued upon their successrui
way The journey was difficult. but In no wise
backbrealing. The Investigations of previous
explorers had done much to smooth the pain
and nothing dramatic marked the final step
The general impression left by the book Is one

of an Unexpectedly manageable enterprise

but that was not until after the Passage had
been conquered
Captain Amundsen's most picturesque pages
are those in which he exhaustively describes
the Esquimaus and their habits. The latter are
rude and in some respects almost incredibly
filthy The author is strenuous in his assertion,
however that the Esquimau character is at its
best wherever it has remained untouched by
civilization The more the native is left to him
self the more he behaves after fairly normal
fashion In Captain Amundsen's experience he
was generally good natured and tractable. but
the book contains one instance of primitive saw
agery which is startling enough. 1t is related
as follows:

but in spite of repeated advice he had not
removed the caps That evening. when he and
his wife visiting another family. his foster
and his own eldest got hold of the rifle

Where Maids have spent their hourea
You have beheld. how they
With Wicker Arks did come
To kisse and beare away
The richer Couslips home.
Y'ave heard them sweetly sing.
And seen them in Round:

With Hony-succkles crownd.
But now, we see. none here.
Whose silv'rie feet did tread.
And with dishevelld Haire.

Like JTntkrifts having spent

THE NORTHWEST PASSAGE
Captoin Amundsen's NarratiUe of
the Gjoa Expedition.

THE NORTHWEST PASSAGE Being the Rec
ord of Voyage of Exploration OF the snip
Gjoa 1903-'07 BY Roald Amundsen: with
Supplement by First Lieutenant Hansen
Vice-Commander of the Expedition In Two
volumes With illustrations and maps. sYo,
pp xiii 335; TX, 397. E. p. Dutton & Co
The author of this book fulfilled a dream of
his boyhood in the voyage of exploration he de-
scribes. The early reading of the history of the
Franklin expedition fired his imagination. and
as he grew older he seems to have become OBJ
sessed with the idea of making that Arctic pas
sage on which many mariners had set their
hearts. Nansens Greenland expedition In the
sos excited his enthusiasm. and on later
occasion it was apparently all that his mother
could do to keep him from accompanying the
great explorer. Presently. however he had the
opportunity to go seal hunting in the Polar

Townships Pump a Success

The irrigating system which
Frank Townsley has been putting
in lust west of Medway, was
tested this week. 1t was proved
capable of doing the work satis'
factorily. Mr., Townsley accept,
ed the plant from the hands OF
the builders, Fairbanks, Morse q
Co.
Three wells, each ffty-eight
feet deep, furnish the water. The
wells are sixteen inches in diam
eter. Water was struck at
depth of twenty-three feet. The
wells are set in triangular posi-
ton. At about the center OF the
base line pit was dug to the
water level. In this is placed the
centrifugal pump. Through the
ground at water level. a pipe
penetrates to each we'll, then
turns down and goes twenty
feet into the water. The three
pipes are connected to the pump
shaft driven from the surface, the
pump raises six-inch stream OF
water which rises about two feet
above the outlet. Guages showed
that 1900 gallons a minute was
discharged into the ditch. The
pump was kept running contlnu-
ously for ten hours at stretch,
and succeeded in lowering the
water level in the wells by five
feet y inches. 1t is estimated
that it will be possible to lower
the water eight feet by continu-
Gus pumping. A 2o-horse power
gas engine furnishes the power.
