The eastern newspapers
 have had accounts of the arriv- al in Boston harbor of the for mer Coast Guard cutter Bear of Oakland" which consumed 22 days in coming from San Francisco and arrived on the night of August 10. The Bear had been purchased by Rear Admiral Richard E. Byrd, who plans a second journey into the Antarctic. In recent years the Bear was famous for her annual trips to Nome and the Arctic ocean. One memorable trip was made during the win ter of 1897, when San Francis co newspapers sponsored an expedition for the relief of Whalers whose ships were ice bound among the floes of the Arctic. The Bear pushed as far north as possible and then a land expedition was formed that successfully rescued the almost starving whalers.
