GLACIER PRIEST AND PARTY RETURN FROM
 EXPLORATION TRIP
ANIAKCHAK CRATER RIVALS THE VALLEY OF 10000 IN
 NUMBER SMOKES

Registering the highest tempera- ture ever recorded in an Alaskan volcano, discovering new erup- tive crater in Aniakchak volcano, and two previously unknown pre- historic villages in the Aleutian Islands, climbing Katmai crater, securing many feet of film of Be- goSlof Island and making addition al surveys of the Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes, epitomizes the activities of Rev. Bernard R. Hub bard, s. J. of the University of Santa Clara, Calif., who arrived in Seward Wednesday night aboard the MS Polar Bear. This completes an exploration trip begun last March.
 The temperature recorded was 1O8O degrees centegrade, which melted copper within a few min utes.
 In the party arriving with Fr. Hubbard are: Rev. Paul Galtes, S.. J., mineralogist and chemist of San Francisco; Roderick Chisholm, car tographer of the University of San Francisco; Edgar Levin, of Stan ford University, Calf; Kenneth Chisholm, George Peterson and Jack Morton, the latter of Anchor age
 The outstanding feature of the expedition, says Father Hubbard, was the first ascent of Katmai in winter. With him on this trip in T-.ici- he studied the Katmai Ma tlonal Monument, were Kenneth ChSholm and Jack Morton. In climbing the crater mountain, Fr. Hubbard was accompanied only by Chlsholm and Mageik, blue-eyed Siberian husky dog Owing to lack ot proper clothing, Father Hubbard and Chisholm suffered intensely from the sub-zero weather and the pllzzards which caught them on the mountain.
 The explorers were rewarded by the sight of marvellous green lake of warm water filling the crater, and they checked up with scienti- TIC observations the changes in the volcano since the Glacier Priest climbed it four years ago.
 The breakup of the ice in the Katmai Flats made the return trip to the Shelikof Straits dangerous. and the shortage of food and a long overdue boat forced the party to subsist on dog flesh and shell fish.
 The motorship Polar Bear, and at the request of The Gateway, nearing of their plight, went to katmai beach and rescued the par ty after locating them by their dis tress signals. AS guests of Captain Peter Wold and Carl Anderson, veteran shippers of Alaskan waters, the explorers had an enjoyable tho stormy trip to Unimak Island.
 The Pacific American Cannery at False Pass furnished headouar- ters for the Glacier Priest and par ty, and the ascent of unclimbed Shishaldin was planned.
 A young trapper, George Peter son by name, was added to the par ty as guide. A novel invention f Father Hubbard solved the trans portation problem on Unimak Is- land. Attaching wide axels to four motorcycle wheels, upon which was placed his 12-foot dogsled, the Gla- cier Priest put thousand pounds of equipment therein and the II sled dogs pulled the load with ease during the three weeks trek that ended in a 21-hour climb and the first conquest by man of the nigh ty Shishaldin volcano.
 Frank Dorbandt, noted Alaskan airman, happened in at False Pass and when Fr. Hubbard arrived there, back from shishaldin, flew the fomous geologist and ex- plorer over the erupting mountain conquered a few days previously on foot. Then he persuaded Father Hubbard to fly with him to Aniak- chak crater. A successful landing was made on Surprise Lake, inside the crater rim, and several hours were spent on the volcano's floor
 Father Hubbard noted a new eruptive area that broke out since
