viii Seek Proof OF
Morse Voyage 10
America

CHICAGO, Jan. 29.-Donald
3. Macmillan, who recently re-
turned to the United States
after an absence of nearly two
years, most of which was spent
in cruising about the Arctic
seas in his little ship, the Bow
dom, will sail northward this
summer in new role-that of
historian of early American
voyagers.
There is every reason to be-
lieve that the Morse sailed from
Greenland and visited America. f"
said Mr.. Macmillan. "The points
at which they touched were
Newfoundland and Labrador"
Doctor Macmillan will make
a careful study of Labrador
relics and then sail to the west
shores of Greenland, penetrate
into the coast line through the
fjords, and visit the home of
the "Lost Colony of Greenland"
set there in $50 by Eric the
Red, which disappeared without
leaving a trace in the next
three centuries.
"There are still standing many
remnants" said Doctor MacMil-
lin. "In them probably lies the
first chapter Of American his
tory. If there can be established
a definite kinship between the
Labrador relics and the homes
of the lost colony, that chapter
will be written"
