Stefansson Unable to
Complete His Journey

SEATTLE. Wash, Dec. % ne ar
rival Of Vilhjalmur Stefansson at For
Yukon apparently ends a voyage of Arc
tic exploration that began when he lett
Victoria, b. C., June Il, 1913. at the
head Of a Canadian government expe-
djtion aboard the steamer Karluk.
The fact that Stefanson arrived at
Fort Yukon, about ten miles inside the
Arctic Circle. indicates he did not COM
plete his intended eastward trip through
the Northeast Passage from Melville
Island. where IL is thought he spent the
winter Of 1916-19t7.
Word brought from the explorer in
1915 by DR.. r. VI. Anderson, who was
in the party when 1t left Victoria, said
Stefanson hoped 10 reach the Atlantic
Ocean late in 1917 and end his ad'
ventures with an ascent OF the st. Law
renee River 70 Montreal. His plans
probably were changed by the feet that
the ice broke late along the Arctic dur
ing the summer Of 1917 and made navl-
CATION impossible.
To reach Fort Yukon, Stefanson
probablv retraced his steps from Mel
Vile Island westward 20 the mouth OF
the Mackenzie River and then over the
several hundred mile long snow trail
across the Rat Portage and down the
Porcupine River 20 the fort at the
junction of the Porcupine and the
Yukon.

much Of the technical evidence was IN.

culated TO inhame the minds OF the
Jury. Exception also was taken 70

James ?. Tuttle, in charge Of the pros

of Mrs. Small in her cottage, when
later was burned. was the most de.
liberate and brutal in the history OF
