Macmillan to North
Next July, Portland
R0tarians Are Told

Portland, Me-. Sept. 21.-Donalj b.
Macmillan, sharing honors with John
Philip Sousa, at Rotary Club din
ner, tonight, announced that he had
received word from Boothbay, where
the Bowdoin had been hauled out
on her return from the Arctic. that
the crushing of his ship in an ice
| pack had resulted in the stripping
Of the keel and the ripping off of
nearly the whole shoe. The explorer
definitely fixed July as the time for
the starting of his next trip north.
At MacMillan's plate at the head
table, was a replica of the Bowdoin,
while across the front of the table
was a sheet of SNOW" bearing upon
it Polar dogs, bears and Esquimaux
in miniature. Eight snow white
igloos also appeared during the Ro-
tary stunts.
Macmillan said: 1.-THE idea OF suf-
fering comes from the narratives of
the early explorers. Those who go
today have an easy time Of it. We
found many different kinds of flowers
away on the edge of the Polar sea
and the land nearest the Pole must
be covered with flowers for there is
plenty of sun there all the time.
1.-THE people we find in the North
have the same feelings and the same
sentiments of love and care for each
other that our own people have. They
were much interested in the beautiful
things that the white men had and
tried to urge us to live with them.
They were much mystified with the
moving pictures which we showed
them before leaving for our winter
harbor."
He described the winter harbOr as
an inland lake with the opening
hardly visible after they had entered
it, They We're frozen in PA DAYS,
and while at Bowdoin Harbor, as he
called it. were able to make "N That
the scientists tell us are the finest
records Of terrestrial magnetism that
yet have been made"

for them to insist that Great Britain

Regarding Chanak. key position
