Belcher's squadron. These relics of
Arctic disaster were discovered on
the north end of Bylott's island, in the
Arctic sea.
Captain Bernier believes that these
relics were part of the Pioneer or the
Intrepid of Sir Edward Belcher's
squadron. Three vessels in the Belch-
er squadron were not accounted for,
the Pioneer, the Intrepid and the As
sistant. The Pioneer was abandoned
in the Arctic and all on board were
lost.
Another relic Of the Arctic found by
Captain Bernier's crew Is a spear from
Sir John Franklin's expedition, which
drifted in on the tide in Erebus bay,
North Devon island, the bay being
named after the Franklin ship Erebus.
It is a wooden spear with iron point
and the name Erebus stamped upon it.
The spear from the Franklin expedi-
ton was probably lost overheard id a
storm and drifted, swept On by ice
and tide. to Erebus bay. The wreck
of the Erebus was found on O'Reilly
island, south of Victoria strait, by Es-
kimos years ago.
For fifteen days Captain Bernier and
members of his Arctic expedition on
board the Guide were caught in the ice
Of Melville bay, in latitude 75.s After
battling with huge masses Of ice drift
ing down from the north for two weeks
the Guide managed to get free from
the ice packs and make her way into
the open sea.
i An interesting theory of a route to
the pole for vessel is advanced by
Captain Bernier, and is based upon
deductions made from his discoveries
Of relics of marine disasters in the
Arctic and study of the polar tides. He
believes that, starting from a certain
point in the Arctic, a ship well equip
ped can make the voyage from ocean
to ocean and to the Pole.
Thinks Ship Can Reach Pole.
"Capt.. George De Long was a pio-
neer in the field Of Arctic exploration,
said Captain Bernier the other day
while in New York, "and his first ex-
pedition aroused my interest in voy-
ages in the North Pole regions.
II followed De Longs expedition
with keen interest, and realized that
he was undertaking a voyage almost
certain to lead to destruction. But
his experience pointed out route
leading into the northland, and, other
explorers have doubtless profited by
his example. When Doctor Nansen
proposed trip to the Arctic he plan
ned his voyage along the lines of Doc
tor Longs trip to the polar seas.

Greenland are similar to those brought

A FTER a cruise of more than A.,
~ 900 miles through the Arctic
~ archipelago, during which he
placed on the map many new
islands, bays and promontories, Capt
Joseph E. Bernier has returned to
warmer climes.
During eleven years of Arctic ex-
ploration this hardy skipper has
charted over 100000 square miles Of
islands in the great northern archipel-
ago and has discovered many records
Of Arctic expeditions, including docu-
ments left by ill-fated mariners, and
pieces of wreckage, grim reminders of
craft that went down in the Arctic
seas, writes G. H. Dorr in the New
York Sun.
Captain Bernier has left a record Of
his own work in various places to
guide future explorers. If Vilhjalmar
Stefansson, leader Of the Canadian
Arctic expedition, now in the polar re-
gions, happens to reach Winter Har-
Dor, Melville island, he will find there
substantial cache built several years
ago by Captain Bernier, and well
stocked with provisions, enough to last
him year or more. Captain Bernier
established many of these caches or
life-saving stations in the polar re-
gions, for he knows by experience the
needs of Arctic explorers.
Relics Of Former Explorers.
On his last voyage Captain Bernier
started from Ponds inlet, Baffin's is
land, with the exploring ship Guide
and a crew of ten men and an equip
ment including forty dogs and sledges.
While voyaging Through Arctic seas
two of his crew found parts of the hull
of one of the vessels of Sir Edward

skiold from regions to the westward,
and comparison showed that these
specimens were of the same type as
the diatoms brought from Cape Wan
darum, in Asia.
''The finding of these diatoms proved
that a passage existed from the Pacific
to the Atlantic, but did not indicate
the time it took to pass through from
sea to sea. Later an American har-
poon was found by an English whaler
in the Atlantic Arctic sea, which
proved also that there was a passage
by which whale could go through.
''Then, later on wreckage of the
Jeanette and some part Of the cloth
ing of two members of the Jeannettes
crew came ashore on the west coast of
Greenland at Julianehaab. This proved
to me that If the Jeanette had not
been lost she would have drifted into
the Atlantic ocean in about four years
and half. 1t also proved that there
is a passage from ocean to ocean.
when the Fran was caught in the
ice she drifted into the Atlantic ocean
from the Pacific, which also proved my
theory of a free passage. When Ad-
miral Melville and President Bryant Of
the Philadelphia Geographical society
placed casks in Bering strait and set
them adrift they demonstrated the
time it took to pass from ocean to
ocean.
"Now the last link in my theory is
illustrated by the wreck of the Karluk,
Stefansson's ship, which was caught
in the ice off Point Barrow. 1t was not
good place to start, but she drifted
in a short time to latitude 73 north,
and would have completed her voyage
to the Atlantic in about four years, be-

In answer we say that never have we

Never, knowingly, have we published

The reason that thousands of womea
