SKETCH OF CAPT. AMUNDsEN
Arctic Exploration Has Been the
Dream Of His Life Since Early
Manhood.


Roald Amundsen, now about 40
years old, has proved himself one OF
the most competent explorers. Be-
sides reaching the south pole he is
the first and only man to accomplish
the long attempted feat Of taking
ship from the Atlantic to the Pacific
by the northwest passage. He has
made at a point within short Gis-
tance of the magnetic pole the only
set Of complete polar magnetic obser-
vations ever taken.
Amundsen was born at Sarpsburx,
Norway, and in his childhood moved
with his parents to Christiania. His
parents destined him for medicine.
For one year he was medical stu
dent. but at his mothers death. when
he was 10 years old, he gave up the
intended career and went to sea. For
a number Of years he cruised in the
north as a whaler and sealer on Nor
wegian vessels.
Amundsen had his first taste Of
exploration when in 1897 he went as
first officer with the Belgica on Ger
ldCh oClSldA poldL CApSulIlOu.
what he learned Of the work and ad-
venture of exploring on this trip and
from the second Norwegian polar ex-
pedition of 1898, he became filled with
arctic ambitions OF his own. He
formed the project not Of attaining the
geographic pole sought by SO many.
but of trying the long-neglected north.
n,ac
studying while on his way the little
known magnetic pole.
1t took Amundsen several years to
prepare himself for his trip. For two
years he studied, first in Hamburg
under Neumayer, authority on magnet
ism; in Berlin under Schmidt, and
finally at Wilhelmshafen under Bor-
gen in the meteorological station. His
mental preparation over, he spent two
years more in raising funds and outfit
ting his expedition.
The Amundsen magnetic expedition
was perhaps the most modestly ap-
pointed that ever went for purposes OF
discovery into the arduous field Of tho
arctic. Its cost was 100000, large
part of this Amundsen's own money.
Frithjof Nansen, the Norwegian polar
explorer, q close friend and faithful
helper Of Amundsen, helped raise an
other large part Amundsen was fin
ally able to put off from Christiania in
the little Alton sloop Of Gjoa on June
II, 1903.
Voyage Of ojoa.
The Gjoa sailed around the north
end of America. reaching the mouth
of the Mackenzie river about Septem-
ber 8, 1905. 1t went by way Of Bal
fins bay, Lancaster sound, Barrow
strait, Peel sound, James Ross strait
and Rae strait. Twice It wintered in
the ice For period Of many months
during this voyage Amundsen main
tanned an observatory on King VIII
liams land, at latitude 6s degrees 10
minutes, longitude 90 degrees west.
within 80 miles, as he calculated, OF
the magnetic pole.
The northwest trip, fulfilling the
dream of the early navigator, brought
Amundsen great rsnown. He then
planned an expedition to drift around
to the North Polar sea. but changed
his mind after starting and went to
find the Antarctic pole.

AvNA Ireland had a remnant of

great part to the nomad

and, in many cases. blind; but still

and enjoying the love and affection of
the Irish people. They had almost
disappeared when Edward Bunting un-
dertook to preserve what was left of
Erin's ancient minstrelsy. An assem-
bly, Of harpers was held at Belfast,
and the tunes as they were played
were taken down by Bunting. The
collection of airs which he published
formed the treasury of song from
which Moore cleaned his immortal
melodies.
The movement to revive the min
strelsy of the Gael has received q
great impetus within recent years. 1t
affords field of Intellectual effort
wherein there Is no room for the ra-
cial divisions which have proved so
disastrous in Ireland. Educated men
and women in Ireland of all shades OF
thought are helping along the good
work. and they find willing and loyal
auxiliaries in England, notably in the
great educational centers of Oxford
and Cambridge.
The late Sir Frederick Gore Ousely,
professor of music at Oxford, was a
deep student of Gaelic music and one
OF its most fervent eulogists. Long
before Norman influence was brought
to bear on native art" writes Sir Fred
erick. there existed in Ireland tradi-
tional melodies, the origin Of which is
lost in antiquity"
New strength has been given the
movement by the accession Of Denis
O'Sullivan. the famous Irish-American
singer. to the ranks of the gifted men.
who are directing the Gaelic revival.
1t is an appropriate dispensation Of
mysterious fate that most popular
and influential leader in this patriotic,
artistic movement should come from
the ranks Of the exiled children Of the
Gael. Mr.. O'Sullivan was formally
commissioned to aid in the glorious
propaganda at a complimentary din
ner given to him recently by the Irish
parliamentary party in London. The
eloquent T. P. O'Connor spoke for
Ireland on the occasion.
