narily consume eight days by water.
With the expedition will go, as a
mother ship, the schooner Bowdoin,
veteran Of eight polar expeditions, and
three or four smaller craft.
Most Of the mapping win be done

quire eight years with dog sleds. DR..

hopes for that bleak country's COM
mercial progress.

 ssThe boat then seemed to turn toward shore, as though the captain realized the danger of exposing his port to the waves and wind. At that moment the ship turned over. She sasik within three minutes. The passengers were thrown into the water.
 ''The rescue tug Pornic was in danger many times as it fought into the gale, its decks washed by the rough waves on it's way to the scene of the disaster"
 Most of the dead on the Saint Phtlbert belonged to families at Saint Nazaire and Nantes. Many operative Union, and almost all were of the working class.
 Nearly 100 passengers on the ex- cursion to the island of Noirmoutier were saved because of their pru- depce. They decided to spend the night on the island in the bay rather than risk the return journey in the face of the threatening storm.

 It was a big undertaking but 1t is yielding to the army of laborers em- ployed and those who know what a golf course ought to look like say that when the last touches are put on the nine holes 1t will be one of the finest golf courses in New Eng land
