ed death from an electric shock by a
margin so narrow that it was nothing
short of miracle. He was working on
the electric light wire in the basement
of his home when a sudden bolt of
lightning which came out of an al
most clear sky followed down the
electric wire and shattering the globe
which he held in his hand, passed up
through his arm and evidently out
through the shoulder where scorch-
ed place was found on his shirt. He
was considerably stunned and was
not able to use his arm that day. Mrs
Torrens, who was outside at the time
was also affected by the bolt. No dam
age was done to the house or to the
electric wires. The fuse was not even
burned out.

Capt Earnest Miller, who returned
 to Teller from Herschel Island and
 the Corpnation Gulf region on the whaler Herman and arrived in Nome on the Belinda Saturday night, brings an interesting budget of information concerning the far northern country also a large and valuable collection of quaint and primitive tools and wea- pons from the land of the blond Eski- mo discovered by Explorer Stefansson several years ago in the Coronation gulf region. Capt. Miller has been in the employ of the Hudson Bay Company, having gone to the north in command of the schooner Ruby in 1915 with a large quantity of supplies tor the trading station then to be established along the northern shores. Capt Miller left Teller on July 10, 1915 aud wintered the schooner at Kitti- Gasuyt on the Mackenzie river delta, about 150 miles east of Herschel island. On the following spring the vessel cruised along the shores of Victoria Land and later made Coronation Gulf where a trading post was established at the mouth of the Coppermine river. 1t is in this locality that the so called blond Eskimo were encountered

and Capt. Miller had an excellent op- portnnity to study that unique type of ahotigine in his native haunts.
 The captain is of the opinion that they are not Eskimo, in the proper sense as they have many of the phy siognomieal characteristics of the Scandinavian races and he believes that they are descendants of early Scandinavian explorers. They are a stalwart people of much lighter complexion than the Eskimo and ire quently have blue and gray eyes all though their hair is uniformly dark. Included in the collection of curios are many examples of native copper work, copper tipped tools and weapons and great variety of implements of in genious design. Capt. Miller also saw and talked with Stefansson, whom he states is operating from Winter Har- bor near Cape Kelle,t on Banks Land, using that point as the base of sup plies for his operations on the new land in the Beaufort Sea, discovered two years ago. He also saw Pete Bernard who is at the Banks Land Station.
