on the lines of Erickson's 10th CEN
fury vessel. and was designed for ex-
bration in Philadelphia. She is of 10
feet beam, in six feet deep and is open
decked except for about 10 feet at
each end housed for sleeping quarters
In this cockleshell Captain Folgero
| and his men crossed the north Allan
tic following as closely is possible the
route taken by Erickson.
The course was to Iceland, thence to
Greenland. Labrador and New Found
land st. Johns, N. F.. was reached
in 90 days. On August the vessel
reached Sandy Point, \. s. and six
days ago Captain F'olgero put out from
ST lohn. y. B., for Boston.
the vikings of today are no strip
llngs. The skipper explained that his
ship had been built by Americans of
Norwegian origin as an evidence of
their appreciation of the hospitality
| of the government and people of Amer
lea. The ship will remain as perma-
nent exhibit in Philadelphia.
| In completing the 6400-mile journey
| from Norway to the North American
continent on the Erickson trail" Cap
tain Folgcro realized an ambition of
| Is years, he said. When / was in
New York Is years ago ] bought for so
cents book on Left Erickson he
| said L resolved that some day /
would do the thing he had done. When
| told my friends of the plan they
| thought | was crazy. l am glad to
have been the first to make such a
cruise in 900 years. But ! would never
| try it again. Once in 900 years is
enough for me-"
| When he sent out a call for men to
accompany him, Captain Folgero said
he received 1924 applicants. The APP
! plicants included IS ministers and IA
! lawyers. The crew he selected finally
were all men he knew to be capable of
enduring the hardships entailed by the
voyage, and of proved seamanship.
| They are Johann Jonsen, Christian
Andersen and Thomas Thommasen.
! The frail craft was exposed to grave
dangers in the journey from Greenland
10 Labrador, across Davis Straits. the
! highway of icebegrs from the Arctic
| TO the Atlantic. For three DAYS the
Left Erickson was buffeted by a hur-
ricane, and for days II was held trap
ped by the ice pack. Three times her
brave captain exclaimed I'VE are
gone" and abandoned hope. But the
stout little craft defied the elements.
Again, on the trip down the Labra-
dor coast 70 New Foundland the Left
Erickson was locked in the ice for 81
| days. Great hergs lowered above the
ship, one Of them more than 500 feet
high. Captain Fogero said the ice
was the worst he had seen in his &c
years Of seafaring experience. The ice
forced him TO give up his plan of
traversinS the Straits of Belle Isle and
he followed the east coast of New
Eoundland to St Johns.
When the Left Erickson was picked
up today she had on board as provis-
ions one salt fish. a pound of coffee,
four potatoes and two gallons of wa
ter. Captain Folgero said the great
est speed made by the vessel was 81
/ knots an hour in Da Wis Straits where
she covered $50 miles in day. The
Left Erickson left Bergen May %.

The story, adapted by Mary OHara
from William c. DeMille's famous
play. "Strongheart," is typical
American Indian tale. 1t is in no
sense a regulation western thriller
with its hardy pioneers who are con-
stantly battling with Indian scalping
parties. but it is a thoroughly mod :
ern story of an Indian football hero
and of his life and noble sacrifice for
white girl. How he learns at last.
through humiliation and sorrow, that
the blood of white man and red man
can never mix makes the theme not
only logical but intensely dramatic
and colorful.
There are four featured players in
the cast. They include Lillian Rich,
leading woman. Robert Edeson. fam
Gus stage player and creator of the
role of "Strongheart," Tyrone
Powers, a veteran of stage and screen
and Jean Acker, a screen favorite.
Among the supporting players are
Sally Rand.-Adv.
Miss Greta Williams is visiting at
the home of her grandmother, Mrs.
Lucy Morang of Portland.
