the North Pole in 1909, so that the American
flag has flown over Ellesmere Island In the past.
Evidently this year any possible doubts as to
the ownership of the island are to be cleared
up by at least one expedition that Of the Oxford
University and the Royal Geographic Society.
the region this year is shown by the fact that
its main object remains secret, and that
though it Is an English expedition it is partly
financed by the Canadian government.
Four men make up the party which is due to
arrive as near the top of Ellesmere Island as
possible by ship this Autumn At its head is
DR.. Noel Humphreys, prominent African ex-
plorer. Edward Shackleton, the 23-year-old
son of the late Sir Ernest Shackleton Of South
Pole fame, Is the second member. Young Shack
leton's companion in q Borneo exploration ex-
pedition Of the oxford University in 1882 A. w.
Moore, is the third member.
And again the sovereignty question comes
into the picture with the fourth member, Corpl.
H. w. Stallworthy of the Royal Canadian
Mounted Police. Stallworthy's inclusion can be
accounted for In a number of ways. He may
be the official Canadian government member
of the party, or he may have been chosen as
the man who best knows the country or again
he may be on rescue mission and merely sail
ing with the explorers on their ship the Signal
horn.
OLD and mapping are two known objec-
tives of the party. Ellesmere Island may
have gold. Certainly the interior requires map
ping. And then again the expedition may. in
addition, be spending year in the interior to
look for traces of two explorers who started out
to look over Ellesmere Island in 1890 and have
not been seen since.
Stalworth has been on the trail of DR.. H. K
e. Kreuger, German, and A. r. Bjare a
Dane, since 1881. The two men, with Eskimos
started out from Stallworthy's post at Bache
Peninsula, the northernmost police station in
the world, TOO miles from the North Pole The
explorers sent some of their Eskimos back, with
word that Kreuger was sick, but that he in
tended to keep going.
Since then Stallworthy has been combing
Ellesmere Island and the neighboring islands
for traces of the two whites and the remaining
Eskimo. And 1t has been no easy task. Death
was not far away on some of these trips.
There was one time when looking for the
explorers along the east coast of Ellesmere
Island that Stallworthy and his Eskimos came
across q region Of ice crevasses. They travelled
carefully. They made camp, and then went
hunting for bears for food for men and dogs.
Evening star., 1934-09-02

Stallworthy saw the ice cracks, but one he
missed. It was hidden under layer of snow,
and the corporal went down the 2-foot chute
to . depth of 30 feet, janmed tight in the ice
He called for his Eskimos, then tainted from
shock and the tightness Of the squeeze. He
came to to find a harpoon line dangling above
his head. His Eskimos pulled him out.
In 1882, while again on patrol for Kreuger
and Bjare, he travelled across the northern
fringe of Ellesmere Island, circled it, stepped
across the sea ice to Axel Heilberg Island. cir
cled that, and at its tip found note from the
missing men-but Of the men themselves no
trace. And before Stallworthy got back to his
post, food became so scarce that Stallworthy
and his companions had to kill 20 Of their sled
dogs to feed themselves and their surviving
dogs.
IA /HETHER stallworthy is going to hunt
w for the explorers again this year is not
known, but it is bis opinion, as expressed
in the last annual report of the police, which
has just been issued, that Kreuger and Bjare
died during the Winter Of 1s31-32 somewhere
west of Ellesmere Island, probably on Meighan
or Isachsen Island, two points he was unable
to visit before because of food shortage.
An interesting development Of the Kreuger
and Bjare rescue expeditions is a new Canadian
government regulation for exploration parties
in the Arctic. Thousands of dollars were spent
on the rescue parties, with no one to repay the
Canadian government. In future, and that in
cludes this year, scientific expeditions may 60
into the Arctic provided they guarantee the cost
of rescue should they become lost.
Another British expedition, backed by Cam
bridge University, is making q sea voyage
around the southern part of Ellesmere Island
and plans before the end Of the open-water
season to have penetrated as far west as Mel
vile Island. Ice conditions and museum speci-
mems of wild life are the main reasons for this
expedition headed by Prof J. M. Wordie of
st. Johns College, Cambridge.
Canada's annual government expedition win
also pay q visit to Ellesmere Island to restaff
the police posts, leave supplies for another year,
visit the medical stations on the way, and
transact other government business. The s. s.
Nascopie of the Hudson Bay Co. carries this
party and viii visit all trading posts. And to
add to the importance Of this years trips to
Eilesmere Island, Gov. Ashley Cooper of the
Hudson Bay Co. will make the trip the first
time in 266 years that q governor Of the COM
pany has sailed to the northermost posts Of
this oldest of fur companies.

UDGING by the popularity OF ElleSmere
Island, the last island the continent
before reaching the North Pole, that ice
clad land may soon be listed as point
q u on a conducted de luxe cruise tour. At
least two ships have left England for
Ellesmere Island, and half dozen others are
possibly on the way by now from the United
States and England, according to requests for
permits to visit this Northern land received
by the Canadian government early this Sum-
mer
Ellesmere Island may be the most Northern
island on the continent, but that is evidently
not its main attraction. Its tip is 400 miles
south of the North Pole, and coal deposits have
been found. 1t lies opposite Greenland, and
Is on the direct aerial route across the top of
the world from Chicago to Russia.
In area it is about as large as the States
Of New York Massachusetts,, Connecticut, Ver-
mont, New Hampshire and Maine, combined.
ElleSmere Island may be nothing more than
. rocky waste, but new mineral finds in other
parts of Canadas northland which until re-
Gently were thought worthless, suggest that
Ellesmere Island also may have mineral rich
ness.
Elesnssre Island today is practically unex-
plored. 1t has been crossed q few times by
Royal Canadian Mounted Police patrols, its
shore line on maps bristles with the names Of
explorers, but its interior-that is the unknown
To solve the unknown may help explain why
some Of the ships have sailed this Summer to
its ice-infested waters
The possible mineral riches and the aerial
importance of Ellesmere Island have led to some
controversies as to who really does own the
last stepping stone across the roof of the world.
canada lays claim to all the Arctic islands
~ because Of British exploration and Cana
dian occupation. Police posts are established
on most of the islands and Ellesmere Island has
two posts and storage depot
Some United States authorities intimate that
America has not entirely relinquished her claim
to the islands. American explorers planted the
Stars and Stripes on some of the islands dur
ing the latter part of the past century, but not
before British explorers had claimed the land
for their King, according to historical records.
1t was from Fort Conger and Cape Columbia,
at the top of Ellesmere Island, that the Amer
acan explorers Greeley and Peary made their
various attempts to reach the North Pole.
