The New era-leader. (Wagner, Charles Mix County, S.D.) 1911-1912, 1911-03-24

the author was a member was out
after walrus in the middle of Smith
Sound, they barely escaped death on
a detached ice foe. Finding them
selves separated from the pack and
drifting downward toward the open
water, which would have meant slow
starvation, the members of the hunt
boundaries of their temporary prison
for a loophole of escape. Finally one
of the Eskimos discovered where by
utilizing small ice pans as ferries the
party could escape to the solid pack.
That was one of the many close calls
that Whitney experienced.
Eskimo Endurance.
The author never ceased to marvel
at the endurance of his friends the
savages. Life with them is so stern
a matter of nip and tuck that the Es-
kimos seem to have been hardened in
to almost superhuman strength and
stamina. Their pursuit of game is
never ending, and at times the life of
a whole colony will depend on the
success of n hunting expedition.
Whitney saw his Eskimo COM
panions take chances with death
which were nothing short of sheer
madness; he found them ready to go
without sleep for three days on end,
eager to be ON the move as long as
their legs would support them. They
cannot lam ON nthnr for aStYnnnrf ~
Whitney comments, land none among
them is so poor that charity comes
his way. He must work if he is to
live, and no man in the world works
so hard as the Eskimo or enjoys so
little of life's comforts and Injuries"
With the return of the sun Whit
ney and a party of Eskimos crossed
the ice of Smith Sound over to Files
mere Land, where the author sought
the single reward of all that winters
isolation, musk OK. With a hunters
pride he devotes several chapters Of
cessful musk OK hunt. He knocked
down mor of the beasts than he
could bring back to Greenland with
him and the trophies in heads and
hides that he secured amply rewarded
his months of waiting.
Says Little About Cook.
Whitney tells only in the baldest
outline of the return of Doctor Cook
to Anootok, reciting how three men,
gaunt as skeletons and dirty almost
beyond human semblance, came in
over the ice of Smith Sound pulling
their single sledge behind them. On
the subject of what Doctor Cook may
have told him as to his pole finding
the New Haven sportsman pursues
bis consistent policy of silence. He
simply says hat the Bushwick ex-
plorer stayed a few days in Anootok
and then started southwark for a Dan
ish settlement.
On August 16, within a few days of
a year after Mr.. Whitney had been
marooned among the Eskimos, the
Roosevelt bearing the Peary party re-
turned from the north and the New
Haven man took ship on her for civil.
ization. He transferred to the Jeanne,
which was met coming up at North
Star Bay, and after some ~desultory
hunting along the coast of Bafin's
Land, during which time the author
secured some coveted polar bear, the
return to the world vas completed.
