With the arrival of the scchooner Ruby from Herschel island this after noon comes the news that Vilhjamur Stefansson, the daunbtles Arctic ex- plorer, who with his two brave com panions, Storker Storkerson and Ole Anderson started out over the frozen polar sea on March 24 two years ago to search for supposed new lands in
 the Beaufort sea is not only alive and
 well but has also accomplished every
 purpose for which the hazardous jour |ney was undertaken. Captain Cottle
 master of the Ruby states that Stef- ansson is at the present time on Bank S land outfitting for a continuation of his explorations to the westward to as- certain the full extent of the new land he has discovered southwest of St. Pa tricks land. Captain Cottle says that the hardy explorer has discovered a continuation of the continental shelf several degrees west of Banks land and has even determined it's southern limits but was unable to continue his explor-

 According to the story told to Cottle by Stefansson himself after leaving the last supporting party on the ice to the north of Martin Point the hardy trio set their faces to the north but after continuing their journey for ninety days decided to return to land and the return journey was commenced and re- suited in the party landing on the coast at the point near which the Mary
 Sachs was wintering Here they again outfitted for a three months trip and Iagain started out on the journey to the north and west which resulted in the finding of the continental shelf. Capt Cottle states that Stefansson spent some ltime exploring his new find but at length, owing to a growing scarcity of provisions was compelled to set out
 on the return journey to land. At this
 time the exploring party had been out l for a period of nearly seven months
 and the return was accomplished under
 a strict ration and was accompanied
 by many difficulties. The dogs were in
 an almost famished condition and the
 explorers themselves were worn with
 their terrific exertions

 at Banks land seven months after leav- ling Captain Bernard near Camden bay. During all this time the men had been travelling almost continuously and ex- isting on the scantiest of rations

 In wonder the members flocked into the historic rotunda.
 There they beheld the Hon. John Rog- CTS of Sumter, the Clay of the Alabama legislature, leading as worthy & quartet as ever appeared before the footlights to an Alabama audience.
