SEATTLE Special Vilhjalmar
Stefansson, after spending more than
four years in Arctic exploration. re-
turned to Seattle Monday by steamer
from Nome, Alaska, and told of his
probable discovery OF the descendants
OF the Scandinavian colonists of
Greenland, who were last heard of
in 1412, and who, when trade with
Greenland was resumed in the sew
enteenth century had disappeared.
.Stefansson and his companion. Dr.
K. NJ. Anderson, OF Forest City. Iowa,
made valuable geological and eth

the steam whaler Belvedere, with Dr.
Anderson, and will arrive in San

of Natural History, New York. Ste
fansSon will leave for New York to-
morrow night.
StefanssOn reports DIR. Anderson in
perfect health. The Belvedere is now
whaling off Wrangel Island, Siberia.
During more than four years Stefans-
son and Anderson were together only
nine months, as they could cover more
ground by separating.

StefanSSon and Anderson went to

peg, EdmOnto and down the Macken-
zie River TO its mouth. They were
bound for Coronation Gulf, a region
marked on Canadian maps as unin-
habited. and which they had been
warned to avoid. Stefansson spent
the first winter at the mouth of Col
Vile River, Alaska; the second at
Cape Parry; the third on Coronation
Gulf and Victoria Land; the fourth
at Cape Parry.
On leaving the Arctic he made a
leisurely journey alone with a dog
