MAPS BARREN COAST
American Explores Northern
Rim of the Continent.
Harold Noice, Accompanied Only by
Eskimos, Making Way East
ward on Foot.

Seattle, Wash.-An American eX-
plorer, Harold Noice, formerly men,
Der of Stefansson's party, is working
his way eastward on foot along the
route of the northern rim of the con-
tinent, according to word received
here. He expects to reach the Hud-
son Bay country and civilization some
time next summer.
Storker StOrkerson, formerly Sec
ond in command of the StefansSon
party, who arrived here recently from
the far North, said that Noice, ac-
companied only by Eskimos, is pro-
ceeding slowly and mapping portions
of the coast lines as he goes. A
stretch of the coast line of Victoria
Land, heretofore unmapped, is being
charted by him.
Noice may visit the interior of Vic
toria Land, which, according to all
reports, has never been explored by
white men. All explorers, traders
and trappers who have touched Vic
toria Land have journeyed along its
shores only. Stefansson found the
tribe of "blond Eskimss" in the Vic
toria Land country.
Noice has no ship and but few sup
plies. He depends almost entirely
upon his gun for his living. Stefans-
son, his former chief. who is noted
amongeexplorers as being able to live
off the barren white lands of the
North, probably taught Noice how to
get about without carrying many sup
plies.
Noices parents live in Seattle. The
explorer is young in years, having
graduated from a high school here
about eight years ago. He went North
in 1912 with Capt. Louis Lane on the
schooner Polar Bear. When Stefans-
son bought the Polar Bear from Lane
N'oice shipped as a member of the
crew. Later, when StefanssOn de-
cided to return to the outside world,
Noice left the party and remained in
the North. His parents expect him to
return to Seattle next year.

HOPE TO CLEAR SEA MYSTERY
Cuban Expedition viii Explore Wreck
Of Spanish Ship on Which
$50 Died.

Miami, Fla.-Hope that the mystery
surrounding the loss of the Spanish
steamer Valbanera with its crew and
passengers, totaling 450 persons, may
be cleared up soon has been revived
by reports that a Cuban expedition
will explore the wreck off Rebecca
shoals.
The American government, accord
ing to the report, has been asked for
permission to salvage the valuable
cargo of wines. and liquors and other
merchandise. No report of the find
ing of bodies from the valbanera has
been verified. The theory I'm Havana
is that the vessel was cut in half when
II struck a reef, explaining why no
lifeboats were launched.
