NILES, Ohio, Sept. Would you
leave your bride and a comfortable
home to go exploring in the cold,
bleak winds and desolation of the
arctic?
Frederick G. Maurier, a member
of Stefanssonn's expeditions, did
just that thing. After weeks
honeymoon he set sail Now he's
coming back to spend few days
then off for the north again.
And his wife, Delphme Jones
Maurer, says she's content.
"he has dedicated his life to ex-
ploring,n she says. Il must not in
terfere."
Maurer is en- route to Seattle
aboard the Silverwaye from Wrangel
Island, where he has been for seven
months.
His wife soon will leave the home
of her parents here to be with him
for few days before he again sails
for the frozen north.
