Noice Clears Up the Mystery
Attacl,ed to WrangeI Island
Expresses But Little Hope That Men He
Sought, But Who Had Disappeared,
viii Be Found AIiUe.

the seal-hunting devolved upon Fred
erick Maurcr and he alone killed
over thirty seals. But when one is
living largely on a meat diet a great
deal of meat is required and the
meat anu blubber of thirty seals
would not last very long under such
conditions
The rich red meat of the waIrus. the
| cattle of the northern seas. should have
supplied them with the bulk of their
food. But these animals cannot be
hunted from the shore. They are to be
found in spring and fall along the drift
ing ice packs some distance off shore.
In hunting walrus an umiak. or skin
boat. is absolutely essential. 1t is light
and can be pulled out of the water.
dragged across intervening ice foes and
| relaunched on the other side. But the
big 700-pound dory they had was prac-
/ tically useless for this purpose. They
did succeed in getting two walrus. but
after skinning them and loading the
meat into the dory they lost most of it
while trying to drag the boat out of the
had to cross in order to reach the shore.
Heavy Boats Excites Surprise.
I cannot understand how they ever
came to bring such heavy boat with
them. The karluk survivors. who spent
seven months on Wrangel Island in 1914,
of whom Maurer was one, suffered
greatly for lack Of an umiak and / can
not conceive why he ever allowed the
party to leave Nome in 1921 without
one. If they had had an umiak it seems
entirely probable that there would have
been no tragedy.
Another point about which there
seems to be some Observation-Disclosures
is the question of the inaccessibility
of Wrangel island. There is no
doubt that for long stretches of the
year it is impossible to reach the
island by ship. But that is also the
case with most arctic lands Gener-

worse than others, and one week diff
fers from another
Last year Capt. Joe Bernard failed
to get through. He was blocked by
inpenetrable ice and returned to
tlo attempt the ice which had hugged
tho island in a close grip all season
cleared away and the, party on
Wrangel island could see clear open
water stretching away to the east
ward. BY october 21 the whole ocean
around Wrangel was free of ice. They
watched anXiously, of course, for a
ship. but none came. The ice was late
in leaving that year. but 1t did leave.
Object Of Expedition.
The object of my expedition was
not only to relieve the party on
Wrangle island, but also to continue
the occupation. Unfortunately l was
too late to relieve more than one
member of the party, and on the way
from Nome ] wondered more than
once whether l should be able to in
duce the Eskimos 1 had brought along
to remain on the island when once we
got there. But the sight of the walrus
herds. the story which Ada was able
to tell of the game which abounoed
on and in the vicinity OF the island
changed all this, the Eskimos We're
glad to remain. / left thirieen Eski-
mos, IN all, on the island. 8wo fami-
lies and two unmarried men. One

the little colony.
They have supplies for two years
and ammunition for three, and should
have little difficulty in securing a
comfortable living. They will trap
and hunt and expect to have con-
siderable store of pe1ts and ivory by
the time. next years ship visits them.
l brought back with me the records
of the previous expedition as well as
letters and personal effects of the
boys, which 1 am forwarding to their

TWO BASKETBALL GAMES
 SCHEDULED FOR TONIGHT
STANDING OF THE TEAMS

All four of the mems basketball teams may be seen in action tonight at Eagle Hall in a double-header the High School playing the Rail road, and the Elks playing Finkel- stein and Sapiro.
 The High School and Railroad teams are now tied for first place in the percentage column, each five having won three games and lost one. The game tonight should be another speedy, hard-fought contest, as each team will be striving to hold it's lead position.
 Also, the High School defeated the Railroad in their first game, and the Railroaders are anxious to even up the score.
 The Elks have been playing in hard luck throughout the series. They have fast, clever team and there is no apparent reason why they should not break their losing streak soon and win a few games. It will be remembered that they played the High School 21 to 20 game, losing by but one point.
 Therefore, although they are the tail-enders in the league, they are still a dangerous team, and it is expected that their game with Fink elstein and Sapiro tonight will be good, fast one with no adds offered on either team.
 As there should be record at tendance tonight the management of the games have arranged for ad- ditional seating capacity for spec tators.
 The first game will be between the High School and Railroad, and will be called at 7:30 a'clOck. Ad- mission will be 35 cents, students free.
