Fahrenheit, making Hawk Harbor whaling
station and factory on the Labrador coast,
Sunday evening at eight.
The whale meat for which we came to
Hawk Harbor having been slowed on deck
forward we left in company with the Roose-
welt on Tuesday afternoon and the following
day entered the harbor at Turnivik our last
stop on the Labrador coast, in the midst of a
thunderstorm. Turnivik is a fishing station,
and here Capt. Bob Bartlett said good-by to
his father, Capt. William Bartlett who is
owner Of the station.
The run through Davis strait, across Baf-
fin and Melville bays, around Cape York and
into North Star bay, where we waited for the
Roosevelt, consumed nine days, during which
time we overhauled our outfit, worked on
sail for the whaleboat and fshed for gulls that
wouldn't bite. We crossed the arctic circle
on the twenty-eighth of July. At midnight on
the thirtieth of July I took a snapshot pho
tograph of the ship from the end of the bow
spirit.
The Roosevelt came in on the third of
August, having stopped at Cape York to pick
up dogs and natives, and at the suggestion of
Peary we lost no time in preparing for a wal
rus hunt. Commander Peary helped us in
every way possible-as indeed he had done
from the start and continued to do until the
ships separated-procuring Eskimo guides for
us and telling us where to go and what to do
when we got there. We left the ship at three
In the morning with three Eskimo guides,
steering our power whaleboat west through
Wolstenholm sound to where Saunders island
lifts its steep, bare sides, washed on the west
by the open water of Baffin bay. In the sound
and about Saunders island congregate the old
bull walrus, while further north in the Whale
sound regions are found only the cows and
young bulls.
Off the eastern end Of the island one of
the Eskimo pointed to black spot on float
ing cake of ice, and as we pushed nearer the
black turned to dirty brownish yellow, soon
easily recognized as two big walrus bulls lying
asleep on the ice pan. The engine was stopped
and the boat drifted up quietly. Two Eskimo
stood in the bow with harpoons ready, stood
next, and the others somewhere behind me-
When within about 80 feet both walrus raised
their heads, showing long white tusks and
thick necks criss-crossed with scars AS Whit

little auks dove and flew away the boat ap-
preached. Looking over the side one could see
their little black-and-white bodies shooting
the water, using their wings vigorously and
leaving trail of bubbles behind Several seals
were seen and we rounded a point half an
hour later, another village appeared, the pointed
huts hardly distinguishable at first from the
pointed rocks. A native came out in a kayak
to accompany us ashore.
At least half the population expressed a
strong desire to go with us, by getting into the
boat when we were making ready to leave a
compromise being finally effected by our taking
along two fine-looking young bucks each dressed
in new bear and sealskin suit
At seven the next morning the burst

sticks to get out the dampness and the oil

by the Eskimo hunters, carrying rifles and
few biscuits.
The first ridge rose sharply from the Shore

over the broken rock in the valleys and the
steep slants of the ridges, and my .405 Winches-

up On the bank, at range of about 100 yards,
long enough to get himself properly shot. At
that distance his coat was much the same shade

Not long after leaving this pond we killed,

few hours later standing on the top of high

A FOOD STORY
Makes Woman of 70 "One In 10000"

The widow of one Of Ohio's most
distinguished newspaper editors and
famous leader in politics in his day,
says she is 70 years old and 'tstron-
ger woman than you will find in ten
thousand" and she credits her fine
physical condition to the use of Grape
Nuts:
Many years ago I had terrible
fall which permanently injured my
stomach. For years I lived on a
preparation of corn starch and milk,
but it grew so repugnant to me that 1
had to give it up. Then I tried, one
after another, a dozen different kinds
Of cereals, but the process Of diges-
ton gave me great pain.
"It was not until began to use
Grape-Nuts food three years ago that
I found relief. It has proved, with the
dear Lords blessing, great boon to
me. 1t brought me health and vigor
such as I never expected to again en-

and the line slipped out over the DOW, ught-

So we had one walrus, at any rate, nara ana
fast on the business end Of the line When
he came up to breathe-for he was far from
dead-I fired at him again and missed, and he
ducked under. The same thing happened sew
eral times, and though 1 did finally finish him
with bullet through his brain, had no IDEA
until then what lot of practice it takes to
shoot accurately out Of a boat when rocked
even by small waves as was ours.
The sixth of August was calm and warm,
the sun shone brightly and the innumerable
pans of floating ice glstened under the slant
ing rays, as the Erik showed her nose into
the mouth of Whale sound.
Gust the day for walrus-no wind and
they'll be out on the ice sleeping in the sun"
said Mat Henson, who had come aboard from
the Roosevelt to take charge of the hunt; and
Mat knew, for he had hunted walrus in Whale
sound many time.
In half an hour several pans of walrus had
been sighted-it was then four in the morn
ing-and two boats were launched; Norton,
Henson, two Eskimo and myself in a rowboat;
Whitney, with a crew, in the launch. We
were soon busy. When an animal was killed
an oar was hoisted and the ship steamed up
to the spot and hauled the dead monster
aboard with the winch; the boat showing off
again to search for more game. Some of the
tricks of the trade" were soon learned, for
instance: walrus killed in the water would
sink nine times out Of ten. and unless there
was harpoon in him would be lost The
same was generally true of one shot on an
ice pan, unless killed instantly-he would
slide off into the water and sink.
Our party finally returned aboard exhaust
ed, to find that about 40 walrus had been
taken.
When awoke next morning we were drop
ping anchor off little Eskimo village named
Kangerderlooksoah, situated near the mouth
of Inglefield gulf. Commander Peary had
been with us aboard the Erik since leaving
North Star bay and said that he would remain
here long enough to give us chance at the
caribou. That afternoon we pushed off in the
whaleboat, bound for the head of the gulf,
our five Eskimo companions as pleased and as
excited as children at the idea Of hunt. We
worked along shore, zigzagging between low

EYES WOULD BURN AND STING

ut is just a year ago that my sis
ter came over here to us. She had
been here only few weeks when her
eyes began to be red, and to burn and
sting as If she had sand in them.
Then we used all of the home RENE
dies. She washed her eyes with salt
water, used hot tea to battle them
with, and bandaged them over night
with tea leaves, but all to no purpose.
She went to the drug store and got
some salve, but she grew constantly
worse. She was scarcely able to look
in the light. At last she decided to
go to doctor, because she could
hardly work any more. The doctor
said it was very severe disease, and
If she did not follow his orders close
ly she might lose her eyesight. He
made her eyes burn and applied cleo
tricity to them, and gave her various
ointments. In the two and half or
three months that she went to the
doctor, we could see very little i'm
provement.
Then we had read so much how
people had been helped by Cuticura
that we thought We would try it. and
we cannot be thankful enough that we
used it. My sister used the Cuticura
Pills for purifying the blood, bathed
only with Cuticura Soap, and at night
after washing, she anointed her eyes
very gently on the outside with the
Cuticura Ointment. In one week, the
swelling was entirely gone from the
eyes, and after month there was no
longer any mucus or watering of the
eyes. She could already see better,
and in six weeks she was cured"

suited in the discovery Of the pole by Com
mander Robert E. Peary. Whitney was a
member of the party until we left Etah to re-
turn home.
The ship being our headquarters for the
whole of the trip, we were able to take along
as large an outfit as we wished. In addition
to the usual paraphernalia we took with us
an 1Sfoot whaleboat propelled by a three
horsepower gasoline engine.
Sydney, Cape Breton island was the rem

provisions. The Roosevelt arrived on the
fourteenth, with Whitney and other members
of the expedition, with the exception of Com

day. At Sydney we met Mr.. Craft, from Car
