Nome, Alasska Vilhjalmur Stefans
son, chief of the Canadian government
exploring and surveying expedtion that
left Victoria in June, 1913, and who
set out afoot ' over the ice with two
companions from the shore of North
eastern Alaska in March, 1914, to seek
new lands in uncharted seas, did not go
to his death, as the world had begun to
fear, but found the new land. ' The
only hardships endured were those of
. short rations, he says.
Stefansson is wintering at Banks
- Land, where he has a large power
- schooner and a small one. He plans
to explore this new territory during
' the winter, and next summer pene-
trate farther into the region of mys
tery between Alaska and the North
Pole, where no ship has ever gone.
The power schooner Ruby arrived
from Herschel Island Saturday with
dispatches from Stefansson to his gov
ernment, in which he omits references
to the perils of the journeys on the ice
and gives space to the scientific re
sults achieved. He seems to have
been quite unaware of the anxiety bis
long ansence aroused.
The southern or Anderson wing of
tne expedition is pursuing its scien
tific work in the Mackenzie delta, and
reports no mishap except the death of
Engineer Dan Blue, of the power boat
Alaska. This is the thirteenth death
among members of the expedition.
Eight men perished on the ice while
trying to reach Wrangell Island, after
the Karluck was crushed,' Two died
of scurvy on Wrangell Island. Anoth
er accidentally shot and killed himself
there. Another in the Macknziee
country went insane while lost and
committed suicide by shooting.
