We were without doubt in the vi

the Fury and Hecla within a few
hours to trade. to beg and to steal.
and even, Capt. Parry states, to sell
their children.
Stealing has been universally i'm
puted to every tribe Of Eskimos from
the Bering straits to the eastern
shore of Greenland. and not without
good and sufficient: reasons. I am
sorry to write. Even our own fa-
vorite tribe, the Smith sound Eskimos,
among whom we lived for four years,
were guilty Of theft from the first white
men whom they ever saw and later
from Kane and Hayes. Such facts
refute the absurd statements of the
enemy of civilization who claims that
"the savage was all right before the
white man came"
But Of the charge of willingness
on the part of the mother to part
with her child a word should be said
in defense. The Eskimos, with so
little In life in comparison with the
wealth Of. the white man, are i'm

oftentimes at great personal sacri-
f1ce on the part Of the. parents.
The holding up of the child in sight
Of the sailors and begging something
for 1t, through ignorance of the Ian
guage, was interpreted as an offer of
the little one for the article refused;
and the stripping Of the clothes from
accounts. was simply the desire on
the part of the child to trade what
really belonged to hersel. and no
one else. -
On Tuesday, August Is, we left our
anchorage and, with a man in the
crows nest to detect rocks and
shoals, picked our way out through
the numerous islands. readily recog-
mixing Saddle island from Parry's de-
scription Of hundred years ago.
At noon our old enemy. fog, hap
pened to descry us stealing along
merrily northward. and decided that
would never do, and rolled rapidly
toward US from, across the. strait.
An attractive looking hole on the
starboard hand offered a safe retreat
and we turned in Immediately, to find
what appeared to be a perfect har-
Dor. It happened to be low water
at the time, consequently all en-
circling. reefs and islands we're well
above the surface. Imagine our sur
prise later, when the mist dissolved,
to hnd that our protecting shores
had raceded and nearly all the islands
had disappeared. A .2S-toot rise and
fall had effected an entire change.
Our, position would indicate that
we had unwittingly entered into the

of. the many "Osquemows" that
traded with him there.

Then, dimly, out Of the fog, emerged
an American whaleboat loaded to the
rail- with Eskimo men, women and
children. skins, rotten meat and dogs

Two light kayaks, encircling the

yelled. This would have been heard

quarterback looked like a crowded

our question, they were going down
the coast and, in the next. up the
coast. In other words. they had
not yet learned which way We were
going and were perfectly. willing to
go right, left, or up OF down. as the
Eskimo. a true nomad Of the north,
generally is.

ways does, and worked our. talking

over the non-arrival Of three of our

to secure. the boat having been left

death and was unfinished. He had just sue

certain consequences of which he well
aware IF I had passed into that other land,
whom would I have sought-and what should
have done?" he asked. After the reunion with
those Of his own folk and friendship whom he
had learned to love In their lifetime, he reflected
that he would spend little time in search for
the "sierras" of his own skyline, or even those
whose names are famous in history. like Alex
ander and Cromwell. Aristotle wosl5 claim his
attention and thought; but still the search would
be merely one of eurioasity

cHEsTER,s CHARGE

It has long been known that foreign influ-
ences make special effort to transmit 10 the
United States that character Of information
which viii be most effective In shaping Ameri-
can public opinion favorable to European inter-
ests. It has not been thought. however, that
crafty attempt to shape public policies In the
United States had gone to the extent indicated
by recen letter written by Rear Admiral c.
N. Chester to the Chicago Tribune. In that
letter Admiral Chester compliments the Tribune
on its foreign correspondence and says:
IT have come to learn that the only
truthful information that comes to this
country through the Chicago Tribune.
All other news items that reach the
American public are of British manu-
facture and unreliable
Il Ia 70 be assured, of course, that Admiral
Chester's remark applies particularly to dis
patches that relate to national and International
politics and not to the transmission of news re-
garding ordinary current events. Admiral Ches-
ter has been In the navy since 1868. He was
made a Rear Admiral In 1908. since which time
he has seen service wherever the ships of the
American navy are accustomed to go He was
connected with the Navy War College in 1901
was superintendent Of the Naval Observatory
from 1909 to 1906 served In a special capacity
IN the Bureau of Equipment In Europe until
1908; was professor Of naval science In Yale
University In 1917, and Is now president of the
Interoceanic Engineering company, In charge Of
large business affairs In connection with indus
trial development In the Otternan Empire.
His opportunities for observation and his
high standing as an American citizen would IN
cline the average reader to credit Admiral Ches-
ter's statement with very large measure Of
authenticity. Even If some allowance be made
for little extravaganza of statement, neverthe-
less, 1t Is readily apparent that American read
ers Of foreign dispatches will do well to make
