 From the far off Icy Cape has come a message which may at least throw some light on the question of the fate Of those men who started SO bravely forth across the Arctic Sea. Within its briefly worded depths may lie hint of what the icy north has long concealed. Again one can not say. it at Icast contains the possi- bilily that 1t may have some bearing on the fate of those brave men and as such is worth recording. In brief the message sent to the Nugget from Barrow states that Icy Cape natives hunting seal far out on the Polar Sea, report having seen a lone man walk ing along the edge of a widely separat. ed noe. The natives thought at first that it was perhaps ones of their own men named Sikrikoruk. but on re- turning home learned that it wa7 not an Icy Cape man as all were ac. counted for. The natives then hur- ried out to the spot hoping 10 take the traveller from his precarious DO. sition in their skin boats. but on ar irving at the edge of the pack no trace of the man could be seen owing t0 the ice upon which he was walk ing having drifted so far out to sea that 1t was lost to sight in the Arctic haze. Inquiry along the coast both east and wes, has failed to reveal the slightest hint of who this lone wanderer might be but at least it has been fairly well ascertained that it was none of those who reside in the vicinity of Icy Cape or Barrow.
 Wben last seen the ice upon which the man was walking was moving with wind and current in a south easterly direction and he was walk ing in that same direction. The wind and. currents are variable in these noBshern attitudes and the natives were not surprised when on their re- turn to the scene they could sec no sign of the stranger. Could this have

 Throughout the long months since that courageous trio set their faces toward that ghosfly far off goal across the frozen windswept snow and ice lying white and silent over tho Beau fort Sea. no word has come to the anxious ones who waited for their re- turn. No hint has che mysterious North revealed of what has been the fate of those brave men who dared the awesome darkness and the bitter cold that mankind might iearu O. what lay beyond the outermost rim of the silent Arctic shores.
