|AMUNDSEN SAFE
AFTER 10 MONTHS
Explorer, Nearly Killed by
Polar Bear, Reaches
Nome, Alaska.

NOME, Alaska, July 27.-Ronald
Amundsen, Norwegian explorer. ar
rived in Nome tonight from the Arc
tic ocean.
Amundsen arrived here on tug and
said he left his ship, the Maude, at
Sledge Island, not far from here
where for the last ten days he has
been stormbound. He reported all was
well with his expedition.
Amundsen was taken to hotel
where several hundred people gath
cred to greet him. He said tonight
was the first time in two years he had
been in a place where he could "clean
up"
Amundsen told of an encounter with
a polar bear last winter in which his
clothing was torn from his body
one of his arms broken and his back
and legs severely lacerated. He is
still suffering from the effects of the
encounter.
Making Dash to Pole.
Amundsen has gone to Nome, it is
thought, to outfit for an attempt to
reach the north pole. According to
Christiania dispatches in April, the
explorer hopes to lock his boat in the
ice off eastern Siberia and drift across
or near the pole. He plans to be gone
five years.
Ever since AmundSen sailed north
from Norway. in 1913, he has beer
in the arctic. For nineteen months he
was not heard from. First word came
in April, 1920. when members of his
crew arrived at Anadir, Siberia
across the Bering sea from Nome, ant
reported they had come overland
from the arctic. where the Maude was
waiting for the ice to break so she
could sail south to Nome.
First Voyage of Kind.
Amundsen's arrival at Nome, it was
said. gives him claim to first cir
cumnavigation of the globe through
the waters between the arctic ice pack
and the northern edges of Europe ano
| America. The first leg of the journey
was completed in 1906, when he dis
covered the northwest passage from
| the Atlantic to the Pacific around
North America. The second leg has
| just been completed by his journey
from the Atlantic to the Pacific
around Europe and Asia.
If AmundSen reaches the north pole
he viii have touched both ends Of
the globe. for he is credited with the
discovery of the south pole, In going
| north he hopes to confirm or refute
the claims of the late Rear Admiral
Robert E Peary to discovery of the
northern tip of the world.

BOOKS

BRITE AND FAIR BY Henry A. Shute.
New York: Cosmopolitan Book Corpor-
alton.
There are many who write books
for and Of boys. but few who sue
ceed. for the very simple reason
that the boy himself is the exact
ing judge who promptly recognizes
and rejects that counterfeit which
fails to ring true of real boyism.
Mark Twain, Booth Harrington, and
Judge Henry A. Shute are three
authors in whom the spirit of boy
hood refused to change as they
reached manhood. And that ex-
plains why "Huck Finn" "Penrod
Schofield." and "Plupy Shute" are
so real and so human.
Millions have laughed till the
tears came over "The Real Diary
OF Real Boy" Now Judge Shute
has been persuaded to publish the
funniest parts of Plupy's diary
"the things they didn't dare print"
in the previous volume. II this is
n true record of his boyhood-and
it must be for 1t sounds like real
boyhood-the Judge must have
been "some boy"
The diary comes to the reader ex-
actly as 1t was written, unrevised
in diction, spelling, or punctuation.
1t derives it's title from the me-
teorologicat observation the young
ster usually affixes to the record
of his days doinss inscribed in the
diary, providing 1t wasn't "clowdy,"
or "rany and thunderry." One ex-

Then Plupy and Boany and Pewt
organize "The Terrible g." a sort
OF ku-klux-klan affair, and Plupy
Shute Is elected to write out the
record OF the proceedings. naively
explaining, because I can spell so
mutch better than Pewt can"
Plupy and his companions were
undoubtedly real boys, and their
adventures will be read with great
delight by the boys OF yesterday
