Naval Arctic Expedition Back
After ? Adventurous Months

In the next few months, two

By Thomas R. Henry

A Navy Arctic expedition now Is
back In the United States, after two
adventurous months in the Arctic
Sea, during which four futile at
tsmpts were made to get through
the Northwest Passage north Of
Devon Island.
The group, which Travelled on three
ships, set up scientific equipment at
the most northerly weather station
In the world-a large central station
set up for q network of five observa-
tories.
This expedition. led by the Navy
ioebreaker Edisto, was commanded
by Capt. Robert 8. Quackenbush,
executive ofncer Of the Navy Ant
arctic expedition last winter. The
6rst Job was to carry supplies to the
joint American-Danish Weather
Bureau station ut Thule, Greenland,
at the southern entrance at Smith
Sound. West Greenland.
This station has been in operation
for q year with q personnel of II
Americans. Eight OF these men
wanted to stay in the Arctic and will
b. transferred to other stations.
Ths second Job was to carry a
years supplies and set up at delicate
rasonde" apparatus for the newly
established Canadian-American sta
tson at Eureka Sound on the west
coast Of Ellesmere Land-250 miles
north Of Thule and about 900 miles
from the North Pole. This Is the
most northerly post ever to be oc-
eupaed permanently by white men
It il manned by 16 men-eight
Americans and eight Canadians
under command of the Canadian
peteorologist, DR.. Justin Courtney
Set Up Entirely BY Air.
The station was set up entirely by
air from Thule about six months
ago. The "resonde" apparatus, used
for tracking helium- filled pilot bal
looms above the clouds and thus
determining wind directions. had to
be carried in by ship, and it was by
no means certain that the ice
breaker would be able to reach it.
There will be monthly airmail
service, with the mail bags dropped
by parachute in summer, since 1t is
impossible to land on the soft
tundra. In winter, planes can land
on the hard ice strip.
The Edisto left the weather OBJ
servers at the start OF six months
Of darkness, during which they will
experience temperatures as low as
10 below zero. Among the supplies
carried in was q dwelling with fiber
glass insulation provided by the
Canadian government. Tests have
indicated this type of Arctic dwelling
will prove comfortable.
Biggest job of all was to set up a
central weather station on Corn
wallis Island. just north of Devon
Land across the Northwest Passage
Here . substantial air station with
landing strip was set up. 1t will
serve as supply base for all the
American-Canadian Arctic stations
This station will be in charge OF

to becoming loose pack, but anothe,
summer will be needed before there
is enough open water for an ice
breaker to get through. Capt
Quackenbush gave up after foul
attempts. Even II the ice-breaker
could have made any headway II
woulds have been very dangerous
for the cargo ships, the 10,000-ton
Wyandotte and the 150-ton White
wood.
The sheet was described as made
up of "blue ice." Photographs of its
surface look much like those of the
surface Of an Antarctic glacier, but
are deceptive. The surface of this
blue ice is covered with a multitude
of small blue open-water pools,
which look like crevices on the film.

Whether the difficulty is dis
ease, loss, grief, dislocation,
strife, lack of progress, in

cient ability, or any other
evil condition, Christian
Science brings to the one or

Guilty can be conquered.
Moreover, Christian
Science shows just how indi-

To people in all walks of

the teacher had had a chance to
recognize them individually, but
Jim knew it was all off with him
when, as he ran, he heard her say:
II didn't recognize any of them, but
here's old Nixey, James Varden's
dog, asleep in this corner, so at
least we know James was one of
them"
Nom was still there in the swing
with her knitting and between every
few knits and purls her eyes would
stray toward Jim. Suddenly she
said: Say, Jimmy, your gun is out
in the garage. Why don't you 60
hunting sometime? It would do you
good"
I'm didn't feel that he particularly
y wanted to 60 hunting. He just
didn't seem to want to do much of
anything, it seemed. But Nom was
trying so hard to be helpful he didn't
have the heart to say no.
"OK, Nom" He got up and saun-
tered around toward the garage.
Come along, Mkt" The old dog
just rolled his eyes under dropping
lids and went back to sleep.
The shotgun rested on some pegs
on the back wall Of the garage. He
lifted it off, broke it down and
squinted through the dusty bore.
Rummaging around through a
drawer, he found his ramrod and
ran rag down the barrel.
He took his hunting jacket from
hook and busted the cobwebs off
it. In one Of the cavernous pockets
he found several shells. He slipped
the coat over his shoulders, picked |
up the gun and strolled back
through the house, dipping into the
bullying cookie jar while in the
kitchen. Nom was still on the front
porch.
81 guess I'll go out to the lake and
use up these Shells" he told her.
"All right, Son." she said, and
added just as she always had done
when he was still a kid. But be
careful, won't YOU"
Nixey rolled his eyes, then lifted
mis- head, and the next instant he
was all over Jim, licking his face
and scampering madly about. JOY
jul little yelps punctuated all his
actions.
Jim gulped back knot that was
sliding up into his throat. MON. he
Knows me for sure now!" He rum
oled the old fellows ears. 'Lookit
him, Mom!"
Tears were in MONS eyes. "T-rdl
Hoped the gun and your Jacket
would wake him up. Three years is
long time for you to be away,
wen for the rest of us, but for old
lixey it was much longer. :"
YEAH" Jim agreed. He Graded
he gun under his arm and strolled
IF. Nixey skipped along lively at his
eels. And Jim Warden thought that
e had never felt so happy and care
rec in his life before.
1t was the needed touch for the
Id time to come back.
