Nov. I last OF Storker storkerson. the
arctic explorer. and ais four compan-
ions, was announced in dispatch
from aim last night forwarded from
Fort Yukon TO the Canadian depart
ment OF naval service.
The explorer set out from the north
coast OF Ala ska in March. 1915, 10
drift westward on an ice cake across
the polar basin on the theory that the
currents would land him on the coast
o. Siberia. II appears from his dis
patches that the Ice cake on which
his party camped merely carried the
explorers around in what might oe
considered a huge eddy.
h In addition to upse,ting the theory
common among geographers and polar
authorities of a westward current
Storkerson reported his trip had re-
suited in the taking OF important deep
sea soundings.
The work carried out by Storkerson
and his party was planned by Nilhtai-
muir Stefansson. who intended TO com
mand the party personally but was
prevented by illness.
The party started on March 10. 1918,
from Cross island. on the north COAST
OF Alaska At the outset ii consisted
of nine whites and four Eskimos. with
eight sledees. After about two weeks
OF travel Storkerson sent back four
OF the men and three sledfes and
short time later sent back three more
81
men.
The party then established camp on
the ice and prepared fUE a trip which
was expected TO have lasted all winter.
Virtually without provisions, they
subsisred comfortably thruout the IMP
on the seals and polar bears which
were shot.
The drift began at about - degrees
north latitude and l+S degrees west
longitude. The most 1.ortnwts,ssv,
point reached. Storkerson reported
was "A aesres north latitude and la2
degrees west longitude, while the most
easterly point reached was liifi de-
srees west longitude.
Stetsnsson estimated that the ice
pack would drift 200 miles a month az
the start and little slower later on.
According TO these calculations,
Storkerson was expected 20 reach a
point northeast of the New siberian
islands during the present month.
