day before finding their way back to
the island.
Make Third Start.
Last Monday third start was
made. Four men set out from the
island in skiff eight feet long. They
carried one pair Of oars and pole
and an AK. They had no food. Near
ly starved they took turns at the
oars and when their progress was
blocked by flows they hauled tine
craft across the ice.
Finally when their boat sprang a
leak and sank about eight miles from
a mainland they got on q large chunk
of ice from flow and continued
their hazardous journey toward land
using poles to propel their ice craft.
The last stage of the trip was made
by foot across short stretches of ice.
Fell In Water.
Twice one Of the men fell in the
water and it was only with extreme
difficulty that his companions sue
ceeded in hauling him out again.
The army air plane which set out
today with food supplies are expect
ed here this afternoon.

FAILING Stars,

Falling stars or shooting stars are
small bodies that enter the earth's
atmosphere from without and, being
intensely heated by impact with the
air, are consumed before reaching the
ground. These meteorites occasional
ly reach the earth as masses Of rock
composed chiefly Of iron. but also of
nickel, cobalt. copper and other metals.
The most famous meteorite Of an
tiquity was the stone of Egos-P otamos,
which fell in Thraee in 466 B. G. and
was described as eQualing two mill
stones In size. A remarkable detonat-
ing meteOrite fell near Holbrook, Ariz..
on July 10, 1912. The explosion so
completely shattered the mass that the
largest fragment found weighed only
IA pounds; upward of $4,000 stones
were gathered, weighing in all 4S1
pounds.
