The long period of struggle and hardship endured by Explorer Stef- ansson has not driven from his mind the many courtesies extended to him. self and party while visiting on our hospitable shores and letter to Judge c. J. Lomen, received by the last malls from the outside, bears testimony of his appreciation. As will be seen by a persual of the letter which follows, Stefasson was particularly impressed by his reception at the Log Cabin Club and the memory thereof clings like the fragrance of the vanished rose. The following is the letter:
 Bay of Mercy, Banks Island,
 fN Coast), July 16, 1915. Dear Judge Lomen:
 I do not know if it is the bay of Mercy Qts name) that brings to my mind past mercies and kindnesses, or whether it be a pot full of fat caribou ribs that calls to mind good cheer and congenial messmates. at any rate the Log Cabin has been much in my mind today. I have little time for writing and little paper to write on Ca few lpare pages at the back of my diaryO But I can put neither time nor paper to better use than in writing to tell you. who were the official representa- tive of the Cabin, that both in feasting and in spare living on sea ice and on land I frequently think of your kind ness to me to all of us when the Kar- luk was in Nome. Many things have gone wrong since them and a few right, the few of us what are left are working hard, though the handicaps weigh steadily upon us It will probably not be with much glory surrounding us that we come to Nome on our way south( as we hope to) in 1916, but until then the pleasure of being again at the Log Cabin will be one of the things most look forward to
 VILHJALMUR STEFASSON.
 Please tell those whom you know I know at the Cabin that you have heard from me and that ask to be remem- bered to them.
