Teddy Bear Returns From
Canadian Arctics.
Discovered EskimOs Who Never
Before Saw White Men.

Nome. Alaska, Sept. 22.-The fifteen
ton wooden gasoline schooner Teddy
Bear, Captain Joe Bernard, which left
Nome on a hunting trapping and trad
ing expedition in 1903; which skirted the
Arctic coast of Canada farther east
ward than any other ship had ever
gone. and which might have accom-
plished the Northwest passage and
reached Hudson bay but for a shortage
of gasoline, arrived here yesterday The
little boat had sailed 1900 miles since
August 4, unable to use her engine be-
cause there was ITO gasoline aboard.
Bernard, with John Sandstrom and an
Eskimo crew, left Nome well supplied
with goods fer trade among the Eskimos
and refused tt return untf1 he had ex-
hausted these goods. In the winter of
1910 SandstfOm. was frozen to death in a
blizzard on Barter island while he was
or his way to an Eskimo village.
The Teddy Bear explored Coronation
gulf on which shores live the blue eyed
Esk1mos supposed to be descendants of
the Scandinavian settlers in Greenland
Bernard and crew lived comfortably on
the wild game Of the coast and had an
ambition to go to Hudson bay, but after
making more than half the distance
they dared not continue because the
shOre farther east was uninhabited and
the Teddy Bear was without gasoline
So the schooner turned back last year
after reaching Cochran point on Dol
ford and Union straits. more than LOCO
miles east of Point Barrow.
