customed to the many needs of CIVIL
zation, have always looked forward
with anxiety to the idea that they
might have to subsist on such primi-
tive fare, but Stefansson and his two
comrades welcomed the novel subsist-
ence methods in their unbroken jour
ney of 700 miles.
Proceeding to the north and north
west from Prince Patrick island, Stef-
ansson discovered his first new land
on June 10, 1915, in rs degrees north
latitude and ia degrees west longi-
tude. He surveyed this new territory
to the eastward for 100 miles. and
from observations made Mt height
of 1900 feet estimated Mt that time
that the newly discovered territory
extended for at least $50 miles. 1t ap-
parently touches the periphery Of the
area marked unknown.
The party returned to base camp
at Cape kellett on Banks Land and.
after having communicated its discov-
cry to the outside world. prepared to
push Its explorations further into the
unknown realms of the North.
More land was discovered, according
to the latest advices. in June Of the
following year in approximately 80 de-
grees north latitude and 102 degrees
west longitude. In August Of the same
year additional land was seen In ap-
proximately latitude K degrees north
and III degrees west longitude. These
figures are only approximate and do
not take into account the outline of
the lands as they are likely soon to be
set forth in the official records of the
Canadian government.
That there is a large land mass or
conglomeration Of many islands in
the unmapped regions which have been
the objective of Mr.. Stefansson all
these years there can be little doubt.
II there were not solid and well an
chored terra firma in those regions the
scientists believe that the enormous

two-thirds of the circuit around the
pole. 1t ends at almost the same
place where the drift of the Jeanette
began, and this vessel in turn sank
not far from the beginning point of
the Fram's long voyage in the grip of
the foe.
"All drifted toward the west. but
the Fran made more to the north
than the others did. These certified
tracts block vast area capable of
holding continent the size of Green
land or extensive archipelagoes.
Contrary to some published reports,
the new land north of Siberia found
by Commander Wilkitzky of the Rus
sian navy cannot possibly be part of
this supposed land mass. The Fran
drifted in ""tween this new land
(Nicholas II LanD and the pole,
passing over an area of deep ocean
soundings. The De Long islands, near
which the Jeanette sank. and the Ill
defined mass of Bennett Land. may
mark the extreme extension toward
the west Of the supposed land Of the
Arctic ocean,"
AS the work Of exploration carried
on by Mr.. Stefansson is official In
character, there is every reason to be-
lieve that after the close of the Euro
pean war Canada will devote exten.
sive resources to further exploration
based on what he has already ascer-
tained.
Although the Ignite deposits (which
Stefansson reports finding are not
considered Of commercial importance
at present. 1t may be that the re-
searches of the explorer will open up a
new region for development. His me.
neurological and tidal observations are
bound to be of great service to navi
gators.
The chronological investigations
which Stefansson's ready sympathies
and keen insight into life have enabled
him to make are likely to prove OF
exceptional value to science. He was
the first to grasp the spiritual ideas
and concepts of the EskimOs and to
explain their peculiar beliefs concern

they may well lead to the lifting of the

This much, of course. Stefansson
knew before he started on his own
quest us conquistador of the pole.
1t was his belief that one day he
would not only set foot on the Crocker
Land which Rear Admiral Peary be-
lieved he had seen, but also find
reaches of territory in what many had
believed to be an impenetrable sea.
He set forth from Teller, Alaska,
on June 27. 1913. with well equipped
expedition In the steamship Karluk,
prepared to do Mt least three years of
work beyond the Arctic circle. The
Karluk was caught in floes 20 miles
from the mouth of the Colville river.
1t was at this point that Stefansson.
accompanied by five men, landed for
the purpose of hunting caribou and
other game.
The foe in which the Knrluk was
embedded was torn from the shore by
heavy gale in which Stefansson and
his party Of hunters nearly lost their
lives. After hopeless drift of four
months the Karluk was crushed in the
ice of Herald island on January IL,
1914. There had been time to remove
most of the supplies to the Ice. The
company of the Karluk which re-
mnined was divided into two consn-

dash to the mainland and the follow

Winge to the rescue.
Stefansson, unaware of the tragedy
in his wake. proceeded on his way
after he had learned that the karluk
had drifted beyond his reach. The
daring trip which he made to the
north from Martins Point demon
strated his self-confidence and hardi-
hood. With two companions. Storken-
sen and Ole Andersen, he pressed on
to try his fate with the foes. The en-
tire resources of the party consisted
of one sled and a dog team with which
they were conveying 1900 pounds of
supplies and baggage. two rifles and
300 rounds of ammunition.
