EXPLORERS LIKE WILD MEN.
Looked Like Beasts After Two Years
in Greenland.

Christiana, Norway, Aug. Capt.
Ejnar Mikkelsen, Danish Arctic ex-
plorer, and Engineer Iversen. who
were rescued July II on the coast Of
Greenland by a Norwegian fishing
vessel. after having spent more than
two years in that region, looked like
wild animals when their rescuers
found them. They had spent the pre-
vious winter at Bass Rock Island,
near Shamrock Island, and 1t was
there that the Norwegians came upon
them i'll cabin they had built.
The first sign that there were
human beings in that neighborhood
was wooden oar with the date 1912
cut in it, set up as signal, which
the Norwegian fishermen happened
upon. Investigation disclosed the
cabin. The fishermen knocked on the
door and Mikkelsen and Iversen
rushed out nearly naked, with guns
in their hands, under the impression
that the knocking was caused by
beasts Of prey.
Mikkelsen had been very i'll on the
long journey to Bass Rock Island,
and lversen had dragged him 100
miles on slcdge. Fortunately, the
men had enough ammunition to en-
able them at all times to procure
food.
