Arctic Traditions Smashed
By Stefansson on Last rip
Pushed Beyond Food Carrying Point and Depended on
Rifles for Meals, Says Explorer Now in New
York for Lecture Tour

Prouder by far of having revolution
lied the methods Of Arctic exploration
than of the important geographical
and scientific discoveries he made dur
ing five years in the north polar re-
gions, Nilhjalmur Stefansson arrived
in New York yesterday and told of his
momentous voyage into the heart Of
the frozen lands.
Stefansson smashed the traditions of
Arctic oration-tradition built up
during all the years through which
explorers down to and including Pcary
had braved the rigors Of the north and
were held to as fetiches by every man,
white or Esquimau who inhabits those
far reaches of the earth.
First and foremost of them was
this: You can never go any further
north than the furthest point to which
food supplies can be forwarded in re-
lays. Therefore, when you leave your
base the thing to do is TO load as many
slcds as you can with as much food
and as little of anything else as pos
siblc.
Shared His Opinion Alone
Stefansson had long entertained a
theory that an exploring party could
live on the game found in the Arctic,
but nobody shared the opinion. and
there wasn't much chance of his in
ducing any of his associates to help
him prove it. A tragic mishap com
PEELED him either to try out his own
method or abapdon the expedition al
together. The steamer karluk, with
nearly all the party's supplies and
equipment, was lost off the Alaskan
coast. That was in the summer of
1918, at the very outset.
When news of the loss of the supply
ship reached Stefansson and his com
panions, who had established a base
at Martin Point, all but the leader
were for giving up the enterprise.
THE prevalent belief" he said,
was that when one had gone over the
ice to a point where the sea was too
deep for seals to feed on the bottom
those animals were not to be found.
and that consequently there would be
10 food. But I knew seals fed on
shrimp. that shrimp were present in
all parts of the north and was con-
tident where there were shrimp there
would be seals. ! proved ] was right.
Bullets are easier to carry than food"
Stefansson called for volunteers from

Short" Policemen
To Get No Uniforms

CHORT. Distressing word to lot
- Of men in the New York Police
Reserve.
golohel William L. Wood, chief of
staff of the organization, has author
lied members of the force to get
new uniforms, provided they are
"up in the air" sufficiently.
According to Colonel Wood, it
takes about five feet and six and
one half inches of a man to handle
an obstreperous New Yorker. Any
one shorter than that, Colonel Wood
believes. might get his nice new uni
form all mussed up.
The specification as to height
threw the reserves into something of
panic, but Police Inspector John
r. Dwycr, who is in charge of the
reserves, said he didn't believe more
than 3 per cent of the force would
be affected.

northward over the ice None offered re
to go. Almost at the point of despair
at ever being able 70 carry out his prof
ect, he finally ran across two Nor
Weglan trappers and they agreed to ac-
company him for hire. These men.
more intrepid, if not so enthusiastic
from a scientific standpoint as the
members of the expedition, were Stork-
er Storkersen and Ole Andreasen.
With one sled and only enough food
to last forty days the trio travelled
700 miles north and northwest over the
Alaskan ice fields. They left Martin
Point March %, 1914. and reached the
northwest corner of Banks Island nine
ty-six days later. During most of that
time and the ensuing four years they
obtained the food supply with their
rifles.
"We never missed a meal and we
never lost dog by starvation in all
that PERIOD" said the explorer.
So certain were those left behind that
their chief must have starved, because
he had gone where they were convinced
there was no food. that his second in
command did not bother to follow his
instructions to bring the ship North
Star to northwestern Banks Island in
the summer Of 1915.

One ship, the Mary Sachs, had fol

On his way home Stefansson con-
tracted typhoid fever at Herschel ISL

and scurvy in turn. Esquimaus and

man took him to a hospital at Fort

He looks extremely fit at present and

RAT IS FRIEND OF MINERS
Workers Warned of Coming catas.
trophe When the Rodents Leave
TunncI-Are Fed by Men.

Investigators of mining conditions
and the peculiar dangers to which
miners are subjected recently have
taken much interest In the practice
of Western gold miners to make pets
of the rats which commonly infcst
mines. ON the mother lode of Cali
fornia it has been found that the
miners invariably feed the rats and
take care OF them. believing that the
rodents are source of protection

mails. This is due the men say. to the
instinct of the rats, which warns them
when n tunnel Is unsafe. And when
the rats leave a tunnel it is almost i'm
POSSIBLE to get the miners to work
there. This recalls the belief among
sailors that rats will leave doomed
ship. The miners also have found that
rats are much more susceptible than
humans TO the dangerous gases TINT
so often cause loss of life In the Mines
Long before the miners themselves are
affected by these gases the rats be-
come sick and show symptoms Of dis
tress. SO the men keep close watch
