AAOAO Iudu ullilOu SQUARE niles.
Truly this is the last frontier the last
unexplored area on the face of the
globe. The prime object of the Cana
dian Arctic expedition was to explore
that area as much as possible, but
when the Karluk was lost Stefausson
accordingly. He Immediately decided
to go over the treacherous, moving,
crushing ice fields north of Alaska in
search of the continent which some
students of tidal phenomena have ar
gued exists-and which others have
argued as conclusively does not ex-
list
Admiral Peary and the president of
the Aero club both declare the plan
feasible. My plans are simple. We
would leave the ship, which would be
near the shore, every favorable morn
ing, flying about 800 feet high. and go
in straight line to a point ITS miles
from shore, scanning the ice fields
with powerful glasses. Then we would
turn at right angles for 20 miles, turn
again and fly to shore parallel to the
outgoing course.
1.-THE ship, in the meanwhile, would
have sailed to a point 90 miles east
along the coast, where she would well
come us back.
II would bring together the crew
and outfit at Victoria, B. c., as Stefans-
SON did. We should sail from home
not later than June 1, 1915. The hydro
aeropIanes would have to be thorough
ly tried out before starting and then
could be set up either at Nome or Port
Clarence and tried again. The date Of
sailing from Port Clarence, which has
the best harbor on the northwest coast
of Alaska, will depend on the state of
the arctic ice pack. which generally
comes down to Boring strait late in
July or early in August.
"The hydo-aeroplanes would be of
the most reliable type. with carrying
capacity of two men and 100 pounds.
Their tanks should hold enough fuel
for 400-mile trip. and their pontoons
should be REINFORCED and equipped
with sled runners, so that we may land
at will on ice or water. Both ma
chimes should be of identical build.
so that parts may be interchanged in
the event of an accident to one of the
planes"
Mr. Mcconnell believes Stefansson
has found the mysterious land he went
out to look for and is now unable to
return to his base on the north coast
of Alaska.
Mcconnell was one of the thret
members OF this expedition who
gained the mainland of Alaska after
drifting about on the ice for nearly a
month. He thinks Stefansson is able
to provide for the party of three with
the two rifles and 400 pounds of am
munition they had when last seen.
When Stefansson babe farewell to
Mcconnell and the meteorologist Of
the expedition he kept with him two
companions, Storkersen and Ole An
derson.
1t was quite fitting that these three
adventurous spirits should be descend
ants of the race OF Left Ericsson. the
man who probably discovered Amer
lea.
All three were picked veterans of
many arctic campaigns They knew
all the wiles Of the Eskimos, be-
sides the scientific learning of the
white men. Only some terrible mis-
! fortune could have extinguished them

that way. The boys hid behind tree
and waited. The little Brown Men
scampered away. including their
friend, for they were afraid OF the
guns. The bears soon came in sight,
growing and looking very fierce Il

after all. whispered Hans. Fritz
had dropped his gun and was looking
for way to escape
Their hair seemed to stand up
straight. Il wish this rock would
open" he said
Let us try It," said Hans. for one
bear was quite near them now. 'Su
OF Nepo," said Hans, and the rock sep
arated. The boys did not stop to look,
but stepped in, and it closed At first
they could not see, it was so dark, but
soon their eyes became used to the
darkness, and they could see a path
leading under the rock. 'Well, / do
not care for any more hunting" said
Hans; "the pictures | have seen of
bears were not so savage looking as
those bears"
What / am thinking of, said Fritz,
is how to get out Of this place Su
OF Nepo gets you in, but we did not
ask how to get out" They walked
along the path and came to a little
waterfall They cooled their hands
and faces and then walked over a lit
tie bridge which was over river in
which they could see a number of
fish.
"Let us go fishing said Hans. and
when they reached the bank of the
river they found poles which had been
left there by someone. Suddenly
somebody said, Il am going to arrest
you for fishing in our river" and be-
side them stood little Brown Man
dressed like policeman. The boys
jumped up and the little man. ran;
then he stopped and looked them.
"My," he said, ARE you giants?" The
boys laughed and told him they were
only boys, and that their father was
much larger. and he was not a giant.
Then they told him how they hap
pened to be there, and asked how they
could get out.
"Why, the same way you came in,"
he replied. "Su OF Nepo gets you in
or out" The boys thought they had
been very stupid. 'If you are not
going to arrest u.s." said Fritz, 1--WE
will go back, and If the bears are gone
we will go home"
mo" said the little policeman, II
cannot arrest such giants as you are"
The boys were soon at the rock
again, and spoke the magic words, "Su
OF Nepo," and the rock opened. They
looked around, but the bears were not
in sight, so they picked up their guns,
which were by the rock, and started
for home. The moon was still shining,
and they looked for the little Brown
friend, but they did not see him or
any of the Brown Men. They went
into the house very quietly and were
soon in bed and asleep.
The next morning Hans said: I
would like to see the little Brown Man
again, wouldn't you, F'ritz?"
YES" replied Fritz, but I should
not want him to think he must have
wild animals for us every time we see
him, would your"
NO." said Hans, "but we can ask
for monkeys next time

business, as such work goes
1t will seek to reach the party of Dom
aid B. Macmillan, now believed to be
at Etah, North Greenland. and report
ed safe in August of last year.
The second, forlorn hope, will at
tempt by aeroplane search of the ter
rible northern seas to locate stout
hearted Vilhjalmar Stefansson, who
year ago with two companions
marched straight north into the un-
known from the Canadian coast near
the mouth OF the Mackenzie river.
Macmillan and Stefansson engaged
in what has aptly been described as
race for an unknown continent
There is great stretch of territory
lying north of Alaska and Canada and
bounded on tho north by the North
pole, which has never been surveyed
by human eyes. Admiral Peary, stand
Ing at elevations of 1000 feet and later
1000 feet on islands west of northern
Greenland, believed he saw mountain
peaks Of this unknown land far to the
westward.
He dubbed 1t Croker Land II It
exists, 1t is by far the largest area Of
solid earth now unexplored. The lure
of 1t to the arctic pioneer is beyond UNI
derstanding to the dweller under
southern skies.
Last summer Macmillan pushed
across the strait from Greenland and
then over several large islands to the
westward until he came to Cape
Thomas Hubbard, the last place from
which the discoYerer OF the North
pole, Peary, believed he caught
glimpse of Crocker's Land mountains.
Here stretch of frozen ocean pre-
sented itself. For 125 miles MacMil-
Ian dashed over the ice straight west.
Several times he thought he saw the
land he sought. At last he had to give
up and concluded what Peary had
seen was only mirage. II is improb-
able Peary could have seen land far
Their than Macmillan went.
Macmillan nearly lost his life before
ne got back to the comparative COM
fort OF Etah. This summer he may at
tempt new feats, but he will undoubt-
eddy keep In touch with Etah, or at
any rate let his whereabouts be known
He will not be the staring mystery
Stefansson has become.
A relief party will leave Labrador
In July aboard the schooner George
II. Cluet. The vessel is sent out by
the hackers of the Macmillan expedi-
ton, including the American Museum
OF Natural History. the American Geo
graphical society and the University of
Illinois.
AL the arrangements are being
made at New York. Capt. George
Conner of East Haddam. Conn. will
serve as Ice pilot.

tary. Burt M. Mcconnell, who babe
