 July II, 1928. Dear Editor:
 San Francisco meets me with fog. m forced to put on an overcoat, for which I had no use in Alaska
 Again I enter into the cen+ec of human ant-hill: running people, mad automobiles, street cars, motors, lie air, poisoned with exhaust, rush. noise, tumult- Enough to overwhelm an Alaskan Hermit
 Where is the peace and quietude of my dear Alaska? Where are her wide horizons; pure bracing air; virgin forests, unseen and untouched; clear mountain lakes, and mountains, very little scared by the works of men?
 T dream of you, my dear Northern Empire. You are like sleeping kingdom of the fairy tales. Snowy mountains on your boarders, like hoary giants, are watching your peaceful slumber. Some mighty hand has stopped the flow of your mighti- est rivers and turned the waters into ice. forming glaciers.
 And Northern Lights! These most airy bridges, made of the signs of the heavenly souls.
 And the people living in harmony with nature and in brotherly love for their fellowman.
 ooh. Alaska, my dear Alaska, miss you.
 My dear Mir. lessen, please give my kindest regards to all friends of mine. May God bless you all"
 Yours very sincerely.

Most of them are really nice and
sweet" she said today in apologetlc ex-
PLANTATION of the hours she mas spent
writing notes of thanks.
"Of course a lot of them are from
crackpots, and 1 don't pay any atten-
ton to them, but the really sincere
ones show such fine spirit that I
feel I lust ought to answer them
The occasional services of Miss Rose
pedrick. who was secretary to the gov

/ WISCASSET, Me, September B.
! Comdr. Donald B. Macmillan officially
ended his eleventh venture into the
! North today when he with other mem

| Museum Expedition, reached here, Mac
Millan's home port, and the starting
point of the partys 15-month Journey
! TO Labrador to make sclentlhc ooserVa-
! tons.
THE Homecoming honors were shared
between Macmillan and Charles S.
Sewall. botanist of the eXpedltlon ana
classmate of the explorer at BoWdon
College. Townspeople and friends Tor
miles around were here to welcome the
expedition. but the official exercises
were planned for Sewall. He is princl-
nal of the high school and has other
town offices. But the welcomers showed
no craftsmanship. Boat whistles ana
automobile horns shrieked While a
crowd lined the wharf to cneer the
party when 1t landed.
After welcome at the wharf the
members were escorted to the center OF
the town bv a band. There Gov. Ralph
O Brewster. president Kenneth G. M.
Stills of Bowdoin College and Joseph
Field. son of Stanley Field OF the Field
Museum. greeted them.
Brings Back Specimens.
The expedition returned with valu-.
able scientific facts and specimens ana
score of adventurous tales aIter a
tourney that was delayed by accidents
and fog. Strong southwest winds
snapped the boom of the schooner BOW
doin off the Bay Islands and the snip
was stopped to pick it up. The party
expected to reach Christmas Cove.
near here. yesterday, but fog held II up
and 1t did not reach that point until
this morning.
The boat anchored in the cove while
friends and relatives greeted the adven,
ulreres and later newspapermen ana
photographers went aboard. Ihe
Bowdoin left at noon for Wiscasset,
Comdr. Macmillan said the expeol-
ton had been success from every
angle and announced that he intended
to return to Labrador next year to con-
tinue the work. He said the party
began the work of surveying and chart
ing bays and harbors of northern
Labrador. a task which would take al
least 10 years to be completed.
Halls Accomplishments.
I'VE suffered no hardship and accom-
plished more than We had hoped, ne
said. Our quarters at Bowdoin Harbor
had all the modern conveniences. We
were constantly in touch with the folks
back home and the radio was OF in
estimable value We heard the round
by-round broadcast of the Tunney-
Dempsey fight at Chicago and the
Tunney- Heeney fight at New York. We
also listened in on the Democratic ana
Republican conventions"
Clifford Hymoe of Los Angeles, radio
operator of the Bowdoin, said the out
standing feature of his work was the
unreliability of the reception in the
northland for some uneXplainable rea-
son. He said he found that the North
ern Lights had no effect on either
receiving or sending.

thousands of specimens of fish. game
and plant life, many of which are be-
lieved by the scientists to be new. In
the collection are several birds which
were blown to Northern Labrador from
Greenland during a storm, Alfred C.
Weed, ichthyologist. said his collection
would prove of unSual interest and value
and the specimens of fish gathered
numbered many that could not be
identified.
Sewall alone brought back hundreds
of specimens of plant life. which he
said were unidentified All of them are
to be packed and sent to the field
museum for study and Identification.
Pulls 1900 Teeth.
An interesting phase of the expedi-
tons adventures was told by DR.. Earl
K. Langford of Chicago. who Travelled
more than 1000 miles by dog team At
tending to the medical needs of the Es-
kimos. He pulled more than 1000
teeth for the natives and performed Il
skin grating operation under trying
conditions in the expeditions quarters
An Eskimo whose arm had been torn
by shotgun wound was etherized on
kitchen table and while other members
of the Macmillan party acted as at
tendants, DR.. Langford grated skin
from the Eskimo's side to his arm.
Sharot Roy of Chicago, biologist,
brought back large collection Of fos-
sils from Silliman's fossil mound at
Frob;sher Bay.
Arthur c. Rueckert of Chicago, ar
fist and taxidermiSt, captured many
fish and he had them in captivity
while he painted pictures Of them as
they changed their colors during the
seasons.
Strange Tribe Studied.
The Nascopie Indians, little known
tribe of the interior of Northern Labra-
dor. we're studied by Duncan Strong,
anthropologist, who spent six weeks liv-
ing with them in their lodges and
travelling with them. He said they were
one of the most primitive races in the
world with language resembling
Greek dialect He said he became so
friendly with many of them that they
moved their quarters near to the eX-
petitions quarters, where he talked
with them through an interpreter and
learned much of their history and
customs.
The members of the expedition will
leave for their homes after arranging
their affairs here Macmillan will visit
with his sister at Freeport and then
go to his home at Provincetown, Mass.
