~, Province of Quebec, in the first
days OF August. and whose pockets
mad been ransackel and looted of

According to an interview obtained

He said he had been tracked by rev.

Professor Donald Macmillan, Arctic
explorer and leader Of the Croker
land expedition, will be provided
with small schooner with auxiliary
power, to be built at Boothbay Har-
Dor and christened the Bowdoin
when he leaves next summer on his
exploration trip in the region of the
Arctic ocean, according to plans now
considered by the alumni of Bowdoin
college. He is member of the fac
ulty as well as q graduate. It is
their intention to furnish for him
such vessel. about sixty feet in
length, for which funds will be
raised among graduates of the col
lege. Professor Macmillan believes
the type best adapted for exploration
work in the ice fields is an auxiliary
craft about the size Of Maine fishing
vessels. The schooner will be built
to withstand pressure of the Ice
Hoes and be unusually seaworthy.
She will not require a large crew.
He will have less than ten men. The
party will devote from two to three
years in exploration work under the
auspices of the National Geographic
Society.
