EXPLORER RELATES.
THRILLS IN NORTH.
Capt. Bartlett Shows Films
of Expedition in Hudson
Bay Region.

Some of the thrills of lassoing a
300-pound polar bear from an open
boat were vividly shown in motion
pictures accompanying the lecture OF
Capt. Robert A. Bartlett, veteran
Arctic explorer, before the National
Geographic Society in Constitution
Hall last night. Bartlett declared he
just wanted to get some close-ups OF
the bear, but the infuriated animal
crawled into the boat after him.
The bear chase was only one Of q
number Of exciting incidents OF the
long voyage made by his ship, the
Morrissey, last Summer north of Hud-
son Bay. Carrying a number OF sci
entists of the Norcross-Bartlett expe-
dition, the 40-year-old Gloucester
fishing boat poked her nose into the
ce-choked wastes and narrow chan
nels that have not been visited since
the historic voyage of the Fury and
the Hecla over a century ago.
Marvels at English.
"I don't know how they did It with
their little sailing ships" Capt. Bart
lett said, referring to the English ex-
pedition that preceded him. "Ofter

The principal scientific work of the
expedition was done in the vicinity
of the ancient Eskimo settlement OF
Igloolik. Ruins Of crude stone houses,
that were 200 or 300 years old when
visited by the Fury and Hecla
expedition, were uncovered and val
liable collection Of carved bone instru-
ments, tools and other relics was Sc
cured Among the objects found were
pieces of jade. indicating that these
ancient tribes had contact with other
peoples farther West, because no jade
occurs in the region of the ruins.
Bird Films of Interest.
Among the most interesting of the
motion pictures taken by the expedi-
ton were views Of the nesting places
of many Arctic birds, and also pic
lures Of the birds in flight. From a
cliffside on the Melville Peninsula sew
eral young rough-legged hawks and
duck hawks were captured alive.
These specimens are now in the Bronx
Zoo. New York.
Capt. Bartlett reported that walrus
is plentiful in the waters north of
Hudson Bay. As the big animal is
protected by law, the boats were able
to approach closely to several large
groups sleeping on pan ice. Close
ups of this tiger of the north" show
ed the sharp tusks with which he digs
clans from the bottom, and the
heavy teeth with which he breaks the
shells. The walrus is the most dan
gerous Of all Arctic animals, he de-
clared, and the hardest to capture.
As a gesture Of friendship toward
English exploration the Norcross-
Bartlett expectation restored the
broken tomb of a sailor, who died
during the "Hecla' and Fury" voyage
liz years ago and was buried near
Igloolik. The carved headstone, bear
ing the name "Pringler" was found.
and incorporated in a new stone
memorial which was draped with
