unCXplored region of the, Polar Basin
from which no white man has ever
emerged alive, writes Il correspondent
from Seattle, Washington, he VIII
watch FOR signs of the "lhantom
FicCt"-the frozen feet of lost ships,
that according to Eskimo legends and
reports swings around tue North Pole
year in and year out. Whether the
fleet Is legendary or really exists Is
one of the problems that has haunted
the minds Of Arctic naViEatorS lor
years. and any clue as to the truth ol
this phantom fleet will he investigated
by .Nmund#Cn and his men. Vessels
have been disappearing into the uI-
explored Polar basin ever since the
beginning of Arctic navigation. In
one SwOop the ath-fanScd lce-pacK
in 1876 carried off thirty whaling ships
from the waters north of the Amerl-
can continent. Most of the men fled
to the ice and reached Point Barrow
and other points on the coast, bul
seventy refused TO desert the ships.
The vast ice pack, holding ships and
men in an unbreakablc grip, carried
them into the uneXplored region of
900, 900 square miles. ESkimoS who
have escaped from the icc-pack after
being carried far north into the uneX-
plOrcd wastes have returned with
stories OF silent ships hard and fast
in the great Eack, white with frost
and manned by frozen crews. Stories
Of phantom ships held fast in the ice
are brought from time to time that
these vessels with the frozen forms
of many men lying on their decks still
fIOcting at the mercy of wind and
tide in that circling ice field.

This fuss about the wedding ring be-

Where they ever got these strange
ideas is a mystery to those who know
the history of the wedding ring.

They must have read the detlnilioh

about it. DR.. Johnson did write one OF
the mcancst things ever written apout

Calling in the Expert.-It was visit

COB was strolling along the deck with
his sweetheart in that particular port.
Along came the main gazabo himself
but the COB did not salute. The main
gazabo, having the rudiments of hu-
manity in his system, did not give
him a bawling out but called him aside
and administered few well-chosen
words.
"What did lie want of you?" asked
that particular sweetheart when the
COB came back.
"Oh," answered the latter easily,
.'he just wanted to consult me on a
bit of naval discipline he happened
to be thinking about"

thousand dollars. He promptly set to
work to sell him some property in a
distant state. The real-estate man
described it in fiowery language,

two hundred dollars an acre.
The intended victim thought q bit,
then replied: I'D take it,, mister, but

Finally he solved the problem. Over
the desk in the office he placed this
sign:

named Glover was because of field OF
