The decline is attributed mainly to

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-
tiuent, 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, &C.
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 Esklmos' in the Vic
toria Land country.
! Nolce 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
amongtexplorers as being able 10 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 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
| Noice shipped as 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.
