Americas Early History
Searched by Macmillan

Chicago, July g (AP)-When
commander Donald B. Macmillan
left on his. Arctic expedition he offered
to wager that he again would not see
the whole coast of Labrador. Only
once in IL years has Macmillan been
able to view it's coast because of the
wall-like fog. On that one occa sion
he saw it to be a line of enormous.
unfriendly rocks.
Battle Harbor, among the last Of
the jumping off places, and where Is
located a radio station with which
Macmillan hoped to do some expert
menting, is rock bound and has what
is called a "ticklish' entrance. It Is
| typical of the whole coast. There is
one store, mission, handful Of
native fishermen and sailors and the
radio station.
From thence to Etah, Greenland,
where Macmillan expects to base his
ships, the voyage is one of sameness
in view and routine, but one fraught
with danger and demanding great
skill in maneuvering. If Etah is
reached somewhere about August /,
Macmillan will establish an advance
airplane base and radio station off
Cape Thomas Hubbard, eleven de-
grees from the North Pole, and
from the two points conduct his ex-
plorations, photo and map work.
Beside the work to be done in the
Polar territory, Macmillan hopes to
shed more light on early North
American history. The first chapter
in an American history generally says
that the Norsemen were the first to
visit this continent. Back of Disko In
Greenland are the ruins of 120 farm
houses and 81 churches, believed to
be a community established in one of
the expeditions during the time of
Eric the Red. On the Island of
Turnevik off the coast of Labrador
there are other ruins which may once
have been the homes of the same
race. Macmillan will compare his
findings to determine if they were of
the same origin and were the people
which the Eskimo have told him were
exterminated in battles with them
centuries ago.
Beyond 66 degrees North Latitude,
il is twilight or daylight throughout
the "a hours at this season Of the
year. Fogs are rare, visibility IS ex-
cellent, and with an altitude of about
10000 feet. Macmillan expects ideal
mapping and Photographic results.
On most days vision is limited only
by the horizon.
