HE FLEW DOWN INTO A VOLCANOES CRATER

home to be professor of geology at Santa Clara
his alma mater.
On periodic leaves of absence from duties
there, he has traversed "the rough spots of two
hemispheres," and has finally concentrated on
Alaska as the most fascinating and least known
country on the globe His discoveries there
have been of invaluable scientific worth And
his adventures one long succession of thrills.
Besides Aniakchak, Father Hubbard found other
large volcanoes in Alaska and explored them
His party was the first in history to ascend
Shishaldin volcano; with him there were two
husky Santa Clara foot ball players Red"
Chisholm and Ed Levin.
These also were the first humans in history
to scale the heights of the famous ice mountain
known as Katmai Glacier, although all of them
came in time to feel as much at home on gla-
ciers as on California soil.
I'VE experienced wide variety of adven-
lures and hardships those college boys
and l." Father Hubbard says. But all Of it
was interesting and much of it was fun. We
enjoyed studying the Valley of Ten Thousand
Smokes; that was in March of 1882. I had
been there twice before when the $1,000 smokes
were no exaggeration but on this trip the num-
ber had dwindled to three.
I'VE went also to Aniakchak again. 1t took
us 81 days to travel to the mountain and 81
hours to climb it. All of that we covered in
just one hour when Dorbrant and went in by
plane.
But the college students and did our trav-
cling on foot and with dog team. We visited
many Eskimo villages studied their ways and
enjoyed their hospitality and help. One of my
most priced photographs taken in Alaska shows
Adam and Eve, I guess about the Oldest living
Eskimos of all.

even themselves but they probably are near
the century mark. Americans have named
them Adam and Eve because they are the first,
or the oldest, of their tribe"
A great part of the travelling done by Red"
Chisholm Ed Levin and Father Hubbard was
over the frozen glaciers and on the frozen
Yukon and other streams. At times they were
almost thwarted by the thawing of the fee,
which broke up and completely blocked the
usual avenues of travel.
I'm many respects I am convinced that an
airplane is the way to travel over volcanoes
but it has its drawbacks, too. The trip with
Frank Dorbrant was the first successful flight
ever made into an active volcano. One other
such effort was made in South America, but
they didn't get out. Through Franks skill, we
did"
ice trek with his dog train. He became
very i'll from influenza, so that he barely
able to chain himself to his dog sled.
But he had learned to place much trust in
one Of his dogs, Old Wolf, and before he was
utterly exhausted he cut the harness that freed
Old Wolf from the train.
Old Wolf then took charge of the driving
Running up and down and barking at all the
IL other animals and nipping at them and
guiding them, the intelligent brute drove the
team into an isolated mission, where the un-
conscious padre was removed and given medical
aid and care
This escape, due solely to dog, was one of
the narrowest Father Hubbard experienced In
all his explorations, he declared.
During their trip across the ice to Shishaldin
volcano, Father Hubbard and his two COM
panions encountered unexpected thaws which
melted ice and SHOWS 30 that their dog sled
was useless Then Il was that the ingenious
brains Of the college men devised wheels and
