PARTY OF BOSTON HUNTERS
 SPEND TWO YEARS IN ARCTIC

-->>>~-~-~~S
 The Nome Nugget of Sept. 26thi
 says: The Polar Bear arrived here from the Arctic yesterday evening,
 after two years stay in those
 waters.
 The Polar Bear started last year for one years cruise carrying a party of Bostonians consisting of Samuel AIixter, the head of the expedition; John Hoard, Jr, and George silsby and others.
 This party was on a hunting, pleasure and scientific expedition and had intended to spend the summer in the Arctic and return in the fall, but were frozen in and compelled to stay the winter and the second summer in that re- zion.
 The story of Captain Louis Lanes trip out over the ice and his return to the Arctic this spring IS a familiar one, but the story of the men who wintered near Demarca- tion Point, waiting for their ship to thaw out of the ice has not yet been told and will probably be written by some one of the party when they return to Boston. One of the party, however, says that the monotony of the long winter was broken by card playing, reading good books of which there was a good supply, visiting the various camps established by the stefans- son parties and the ships which, like the Polar Bear, had been caught Tn the ice for the winter. Be- sides there wereg hunting eXpedi- tious for bear, deer and ptarmigans' which kept the party in good spirits and humor. The party was com fOrtably Quartered, in good health and enjoyed the experience which they had started out to get.
 The Boston people had started out to hunt mountain sheep, po- lar bear, whales, etc.
 No reports of the success of the party in hunting mountain sheep is giyen, but it is learned that polar bears were found in plenty with out hunting-iu one case it is said that a bear visited their camp and had started a meal on their kiak, when it was killed by a native.
 Capt. Louis Lane upon his re- turn started with the Polar Bear on the summer cruise and succeede1 beyond expectation in capturing these monsters of the sea. The record catch for a schooner in the Arctic is 12 whales, which was nearly reached by this expedition which captured ten, nine of which were of large size.
 The Polar Bear cruised in the vicinity of Wrangell island and was within easy reach of the Karluk survivors, and would have rescued them but the party supposed they had already been rescued by the revenue cutter Bear.
 The Polar Bear met the boats be- longing to the Stefansson eXpedi- tion early in the season at Baily island. The Mary Sachs intended to cruise along Banks Land as far North as St. Patrick's land to look for Stefansson, while the other parties of the expedition, on the Alaska and North star, would con- tinue to Coronation Gulf. It is the opinion of Captain Lane that Stefansson will never be able to reach land to the eastward as the ice movement is westward and 1t Is his opinion, which is confirmed by Captain Bernard, that Stefansson, if able to reach land at all, it will be on the Siberian coast It is the
