SUPPLIES ON KARLUK
TAKEN FROM WRECK
[Continued from First Page. ]

Point Barrow is not northerly, as has
been supposed, but westerly. Both
Stefansson and Amundsen had be-
lieved that ship entering the pack
at Point Barrow would be carried
across the pole and to Greenland.
Probably the shipwrecked men passed
the winter in comfort, having dogs
to carry them on hunting expeditions.
1t is expected that the Canadian
government will authorize Captain
Robert A Bartlett, who is at st.
Michael where he arrived after a dog
team and sea journey from Wrangell
island, to engage a ship to go to the
island and bring off the 1S men ma
rooned there. Behring Sea is now
navigable over its whole area, and
the whaler Berman, the relief ship
most available, should be able to en-
ter the Arctic zone. The Karuk's
men will be landed at Nome, whence
they may take q steamer to Seattle. 1t
is not likely that they can reach Nome
in time to board vessel bound for
Point Barrow, from which place they
could strive to join the second divi-
sion of the Stefansson expedition at
the mouth of the Mackenzie.
To Notify Stefansson
Probably the Canadian government
will send Dispatches down the Mac
notifying him of the loss of the Kar-
LUX. Destruction of the Karluk will
not interfere with the more practical
part of the expeditions work, which
was the survey and charting of the
