A passport to the north pole was is

the Arctic ocean. The official was ap-
preached by two men who had been
engaged to proceed to the north with

Their petition was for passport to
the pole itself. but the governor point
cd out that the pole was as likely to
BE- in their home province as In any
other. that It was extremely unlikely
they would reach It and that II they

anime their credentials. At last, how
