Reach Siberia Eddied
Back to Alaska.

Ottawa, Ontario. Feb. 25.-The safe
arrival on the north coast of Alaska,
Nov. last, of Storker Storkerson, the
Arctic explorer, and his four companions.
was announced in a dispatch from him
today. forwarded from Fort Yukon to
the Canadian department of naval serv-
ice
The explorer set out from the north
coast of Alaska in March, 1918, to drift
westward on an ice cake across the Po-
lar basin, on the theory that the cur
rents would land him on the coast of
Siberia. 1t appears from the dispatches
today that the ice cake on which his
party campei carried them around in
what might be considered huge eddy.
Sterkerson. with 10 sledges and about
so dogs. left Cross island early in March.
1918, and, after travelling about 100
miles. sent back his first support marty.
April 10. he reported that he had reached
a point 200 miles north of Alaska, and
Indicted that he was going so or IS
miles farther before selecting an ice
cake to drift.
Ice Safe; Fifty Feet Thick.
Stcfansson, who has made several ex-
plorations in the Arctic region. stated
upon his return, last November. that the

He added that the party did not carry
food for the trip. but that they would
not have much difficulty in obtaining
seals and other sea food to provision
them for the journey landward.
Stefansson estimated that the ice pack
would drift 200 miles a month at the
start and little slower later on. Ac-
cording to these calculations, Storkerson
was expected to reach point northeast
Of the New Siberian islands during the
present month.
Storkerson's party included Gustav
Mastik, a Russian. formerly second
mate on Stefansson's vessel. the Polar
