The captains story of StefanssOn's
work in the two years in which the
explorer has not beeG heard from is a
most interesting one. Nothing at all
had been heard from Stefansson until
Captain Allen brought his reports and
kilograms to the Canadian government
and to the Toronto Globe down to
Fort Yukon the latter part of Decem-
ber
In the spring of 1916 Stefansson
made a trip from Southwest Banks
Land to Northwest Banks Land, max
ing the trip on the ice entirely. On
this trip he found several new islands.
never before recorded. and claimed
these in the name of the Canadian gov
ernment for which he is working at
the present time. None of the islands
was as large as the one found on his
last exploration trip, several years ago,
but will nevertheless make sizeable ad,
ditions of land to Canadian territory
During this trip two men of the Stef-
ansson party were lost through being
frozen to death. The men were Pete
Bernard and Charles Thompson, both
residents of Nome, Bernard in particu-
lar being we'll known all over that
district, and a resident there for many
years. These men started out from
Southwest Banks Land to go to Stef-
ansson with mail. and became lost en-
route, perishing after many days of
wandering around on the open ice
in the intense cold.
Stefansson returned from this trip to
Northwest Banks Land in safety and
is now making all preparations for his
next dash this coming spring. His
trip this year is to be into land that
has never been explored before. 1t is
an undertaking of extreme daring, but
is thoroughly in keeping with the for
mer explorations of Stefansson. He

Captain Alexander Allen arrived in
Cordova on this afternoons train,
bringing to the outside world the first
authentic news of the explorations of
Captain Viljalmar Stefansson that has
been received from the Arctic in two
years. He told a wonderfully interest
ing story but related it in a manner
that would lead the listener to believe
that he had just made a little pleasure
jaunt instead of having made the long
journey from, Herschel island, via the
POrcupine river and Fort Yukon, up
to Fairbanks, and from the latter place
over the government trail to Chitina.
The chief information given out by
Captain Allen is regarding the further
intended explorations of Stefansson
and a mutiny among his officers. He
also brought out Stefansson's official
report to the Canadian government,
but this was dispatched by mail and
telegraph from Fort Yukon, which was
the nfSC settlement IedCu6u ny Allcli
in his long journey from the North.
Allen plans to rest here for several
days and then continue his journey on
to the Outside.
The official report of Stefansson,
Captain Allen says, has to do with the
activities of the exploring party dur
ing the two years just passed. Stef-
ansson had intended to go to Ottawa
in person last fall to make the report,
but his ship became frozen in on Bar
ter island, and he therefore decided
to remain another winter in the north
ern barrens. Captain Allen left Her
schel island before Stefansson arrived
there, but the report and other papers
were dispatched to him by courier,
who caught up with him after he had
been on the trail for eight days. The
report tells chiefly of the movements
of the exploring party and of the in

The families OF Crane Pond were
invited to bring their Thanksgiving
dinner to the home of Mr.. and Mrs.

All of those in the neighhorhood
who cared to come, did so, bringing

awaited the diners. AT the first table
the older folks were seated, and close
to this was the children's table.
While these tables were seated and

were the tables filled and as quickly
emptied of their good things.
After every one had eaten, boxes
were filled to be sent to the absent
ones. One for the absent daughter
of our hostess, another for one of our
Camp Funston boys, and still an
other for Mr, Seals and daughter,
who were sick and unable to attend.
Then the tables were cleared and
all gathered around the organ ter an
old fashioned singing.

to be the best Thanksgiving dinner
ever ate, and all voting for another

In Memoriam.

God has seen fit, in His Divine Mer-
cy, to call one of our loved ones home.
Thanksgiving morning we learned,
with deep sorrow, of the death of our
nephew, Bert Stevenson, son of MIR.
and Mrs. j. W. Stevenson. 1t was a
great shock to us all. We know life
is uncertain and death sure, but We
did not expect it in his case sc
Bert was a very loving and affec-
tionate boy in the home, and was al.
ways there. AS he grew to manhood
this beautiful trait stayed with him.
About two years ago he was con-
verted in a revival meeting held by
Brothers Abernathy and Lewis. His
pastor and Sunday School superin-
tendent testified that since that time
he was n that they could always
count on, for he never failed to at
tend and do what work he could do
for the Masters service. He led the
song service always at church, and
this Sabbath morning, as we look up
through our tears, we know that he is
in the heavenly choir, singing with
the angelic host, where congregations
never break up and Sabbaths have nc
end. Bless His Holy Name! So, in
the midst Of this great sorrow, We
thank the Great Heavenly Father thai
one more has joined the hosts above
and 1t makes us strive to live more
like Jesus that we, too, may join that
number some day.
pray his loved ones may realize
that heaven has been brought closer
and made dearer by Bert's goinl
there. So let's all do our best to NEE
him. May the:Lord bless and com
fort his dear parents, sisters, brother
and wife and little one, that through
1t oil they q say, "Tny will b.
done!" While all loved him here
God loved him best! HIS AUNT.
