Urges Irish Trade Be
Direct With the World

Dublin, July 15.-The Sim Fein
party desires to establish Irish trade
direct with the nations of the world
without the intermediary of Eng
lish agents. 1t has been suggested
that Ireland should have separate
trade commissioners or consuls gen.
eral in the principal trade centers
and capitals of the world.
To meet the obvious difficulties
of starting and financing such a
scheme Professor John MacNeill,
member of Parliament, points out
that the thing may be largely done
through the universities which have
the power to institute studentships
in commerce tenable on condition
of residence in selected places
abroad. He says these students
could act as Irish trade agents.

To settle dispute, will you please

decided to make an attempt to find the
people of the deserted village. We
would leave most of our gear on shore
with Pannigabluk to take care of it,
while the two men and myself took the
trail across the ice.
This was according to Eskimo eti-
quet On approach to the country Of
strange or dtstrusted people non-com-
batants are left behind and only the
able men Of the party advance to a
cautious parley. The Mackenzie River
man, Tannaumirk, was frightened

and to ask that he too might stay on
shore at the camp.

more than three or sour days. We left

were, therefore, on the trail not of a
travelling party but Of a migratory
I community.
AS we understood dimly then, and
know definitely now, each village on
such a trail should be aboutrten miles
from the next preceding, and should be
about n month more recent. The eX-
PLANTATION is simple. The village of a

They were scarce, and had secured

Caribou In BItzxard.
| Generally it is only in times of ex-
/ treme need that one hunts caribou in a
! blizzard-not that nine-tenths Of the
Arctic billiards need hold a healthy
man indoors. but merely because the
drifting snow diminshes many times
your chance Of finding game.
If you do find caribou, however, the
stronger the gale the better your
chance OF 1lose approach, for though
these arin1als are doubly watchful in
foggy weather they seem to relax in a
| blizzard

moral effect It would have on my
| party; for if there was abundant food
they would have to fall back on their
fear Of tina Nagyuktogmiut, and this
they were a bit ashamed Of doing,
even among themselves. So ! went
out and after a short hunt found n

we could not possibly use more than

Signs of Unknown Men.

Langton Bay, we came upon signs that
made our hearts beat faster. 1t was al
| Point Wise, where the open sea begins
to narrow into Dolphin and Union
straits, which are between the main
! land and the mountainous shores of
| Victoria Island. The beach was strewn
with pieces of drift Wood, and on one
we found marks of recent choppings
with duh adZe. A search of the beach
/ for half a mile each way revealed
numerous similar Choppings. Evil
IDENTIFY the men who had made them
had been testing the pieces of wood to
see IL they were sound enough for
sleds or other things they wished 10
! make.
The night after this discovery we
I did not ss~~N, much. The Eskimo were
more excited than I was, apparently
and far into the morning they talked
and speculated on the meaning of the
signs. Had we come upon traces Of
! the Nagyuktogmiut who kill all
strangers?
Fortunately enough, my long en-
tertained fear that traces of people
would cause a panic in my party was
rot realized. In spite Of all their talk
and in spite of tho fact that they were
seriously afraid, the curiosity as &c
what these strange people would
prove to be like-in fine, the spirit OF
adventure, which seldom crops out in
an Eskimo-was far stronger thar
their fears. We were therefore Or

A Yellow Spot on the Ice.
This day the wolves did not come
near, and the first hopeful thing | saw
was yellow spot on the sea ice about
three miles off. After watching it for
five minutes or so I was still unable
TO determine whether or not the spot
was yellow ice or something else than
| ice Now and then I looked else
where, for caribou or grizzly bear
may at any time come out from behind
a hill, polar bear from behind a
cake of ice, or seal out of his hole.
After sweeping the entire circle of the
( horizon perhaps for the sixth time l
Noted that the yellow spot had dis
appeared-it was, therefore, n polar
bear that had been lying down. After
sleeping too long in one position he
had stood UP and lain down again be-
/ hind an ice cake.
A moment after noting this I was
running as hard as / could in the
direction of the bear, for there was
no telling how soon, he would start
! travelling or how fast he would go.
When | got to the neighborhood of
the animal according to my calcula-
tons, climbed an especially high
ridge and spent longer time than
usual sweeping the surroundings with
the glasses and studying individual ice
cakes and ridges with the hope of
I recognizing some of those / had seen
from the mountains to be in the neigh
borhood of my bear, but everything
looked different on near approach and
I failed TO locate myself to my own
satisfaction.
My rifle was bucislcd in its case slung
across my back, and I was cautiously
clambering down the far side of a
pressure ridge, when I heard behind
me noise like the splitting of a cat OF
the hiss of goose. I looked back and
saw, about twenty feet away and al
most above me, polar bear.
