turers who died along the way and had to be
left behind
To this fragmentary story Burwash and Gil
bert have now written what may well be the
last chapter. There seems little likelihood that
new discoveries will bring a more complete
solution of the Far North's greatest mystery.
The abnormally hot Summer helped Bur-
wash and Gilbert in their task. The drought
which parched the corndeldS of Iowa, the
melon patches of Maryland and the wheat
fields of Saskatchewan also melted the perren-
NAL SHOWS that had kept skeletons, graves and
relics of the Franklin expedition partly hidden
for almost a century.
1t was propitious year for wrestling secrets
from the ice-locked North. First, the bodies
of Andree and his two companions were found
at White Island. The abnormally mild weather
and melting snow brought them and the diary
of their expedition to light after more than 80
years of complete mystery. And along the
coast of King William Land into which Frank
lin and his men had disappeared half a CEN
tury before Andree climbed into his balloon
and sailed away for the North Pole the ground
was almost bare-the snow had melted there
too, uncovering hitherto undiscovered relics
of the Franklin party.
With chances of success so favorable, Maj.
BurwaSh and his pilot set out on the most
daring fight in the history of Canadian avn
alton For the first time in history the
blonde" Eskimos saw plane IN the vicinity
of the North Magnetic Pole. True wilkins had
flown over the top of the world from Point
Barrow, and Byrd had pioneered In the vicinity
Of Ellesmere Land but here were Burwash and
his crew lowering above the Magnetic Pole
ITSELF
The compass dipped sharply. Circling about,
Gilbert headed the monoplane southwestward
toward King William Land. Above a fresh.
water lake he throttled his engine until the
propeller was barely ticking over and brought
the ship to o landing on the comparatively
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1930-10-26
From an Old Engraving.

T HE chill September air was strangely
quiet as the huge, gray-winged Fox
ker cleaved its way toward the North
Magnetic Pole. Peering through the
light haze, Maj. L. T. Burwash and
his pilot, w. E. Gilbert could see on the NOV
ing carpet a thousand feet beneath, narrow
lanes of gray-green water, strongly contrasted
against the spotless white of the surrounding
ice and snow.
Somewhere between their objective and
Boring Strait. at the bottom of the Arctic
Ocean, lay the bones of hundred ships, VIC
TINS Of the winds and currents that churned
the drifting pack and crushed their oaken
sides. other whaling ships, stouter or more
fortunate, whirling about in a never-ending
circle-members of the phantom fleet
might have escaped the crushing impact Of the
foes, might still be drifting aimlessly about,
with skeletons on their decks in that "Sargasso
Sea" of the great white north. Small wonder
that Burwash and his pilot kept q sharp look
out while the expeditions photographer mapped
the coast line from the air.
Weeks before, when wireless reports of the
Andree discovery were cracking through the
Spitzbergen wastes, Burwash and Gilbert had
set out, under the auspices Of the Department
of the Interior of Canada, to clear up one of
the greatest mysteries of the arctic-the dis
appearance of Sir John Franklin and his two
ships the Erebus and Terror.
Eighty years before Sir John, then the
Peary of an era when polar exploration was
q mans game, had set out to seek practicable
water route-a northwest paSsage-from the
North Atlantic to the North Pacific. The story
Of this enterprise and of its gallant leader Is
one Of the most tragic in the history of arctic
exploration. In the long succession Of polar
Journeys, dating from the dawn Of British his
tory, when King Alfred drove back the invading
Danes, this deliberately outfitted expedition was
the most disastrous. OF the 12s adventures

R0SENFELD RELEASED
Outhcldcr Has Been sent to Toledo of American Association b, the Brooklyn Dodgers.

New York. Jan. II lpJ - Max lioScnteld, outlicldcr, has been re- leased on option 10 Toledo Of the American association by the Brook lyn Dodgers. lt marks the second year that the Robins have sent Max To Toledo where he batted $50 last year.
 The Brooklyn club mailed out contracts to S7 players today. Those who will give the most trouble over signing perhaps will be Arthur 'Dazzy) Vance and Floyd C. (Babc) Herman.
 Vance, after winning a s25.ooo contract last spring. had a disap- pointing season and the Dodgers are expected to make a cut in his salary which Dazzy may or may not dcclde to accept. Herman is basing his arguments for substantial in crease on the fact that he led Ma uonal league hitters for some time during the 1929 season and wound up the campaign with an extremely healthy average of .SSl. Whether the Babes idea Of substantial in crease agrees with that of the, club remains to be seen
