 Copyright, 1923

ON BOARD SS BOWDOIN, GOD- HAVEN, GREENLAND, July 2S.-We arrived at Godhaven early this morn ing after three days on fine sailing from Capeharrigan, Labrador. We were forced to work our way through 15 miles of ice off the La brador coast but as soon as we got into open water the weather cleared and we had no more trouble. With the exception of a few icebergs which we passed yesterday there has been no further sign of ice. Our wire less has been in constant touch with the outside world and for the few evenings we have heard distantly many amateur stations in the United States and Canada. At sea last night my operator caught P-CMR, P-PL, 5-AGJ, 4-GL-9-CAA, 9-AVZ, 9-CVC. : 9-AXU and several other stations \ west of the Mississippi.
 We are preparing to go ashore later in the day to make some scien- z tific observations in terrestial mag |. netism for the Carnegie institute and expect to stay until tomorrow after noon. The scenery is beautiful, the 7 Fiords bordered by snow capped hills 1000 feet in height running back for 40 miles to the edge of the Green land ice cap. our next port of call will probably be Sukkertoppen, 90 miles north. A steamer in port here reports ice field farther north but we will take chances with them.
