ARCTIC EXPLORER First Word Heard From Explorer Stales He Has Chartered Steamer Polar Bear to Continue Exploration of New Land Located Southwest of St. Patrick's Land. NOME, Alaska, Sept. 17 Tho pow er schooner ltuby arrived from Hor flchol Inland, on tho Arctic coait weal of the mouth of tho Mackenzie river yesterday afternoon with news that Vlllijiilmur Stefansson, tho Canadian explorer, who with two companions, Htnrkor Storkorson nnd Olo. Anderson, pet out from Martin Point, Alaska, March 22, l UN, oor tho frozen polar ocean to search for supposed now lands In the lieaufort sea, Is not only ullvo and well, hut hits nrcompllshcd every purpose for which tho hazard huh Journey was undertaken. Captain 8. I Cottlo, master of tho Itnhy, says that Slefansson, Is now on llankq land, east of tho Macken zie outfitting for contlnuanco of ex plorations to tho westward to ncer tatn the full extent of the new land ho discovered southwest of St. Pat rick's land. Slefansson discovered a contlnuanco of tho continental shelf Reveral degrees' west of Hanks land nnd even determined Its southern limits, but was unable to contlnuo his explorations to tho north and west Xovv mi Hanks Island Stefansson told Captain Cottle that after leaving tho supporting parly on tho Ico no,rHi of Martin Point lie nnd his hardy compnloiiH set (heir faces to tho noith, but after continuing their Journey ninety days they de cided to return to land. They turned backward and landed on tho main land at a point near which tho power boat Marv Sachs of tho Steffansson expedition, was wintering. Here tho three men outfitted for another thrco months' trip. They again went upon the Ico, rolng north and west and discovering tho continental shelf, Stefansson spent somo tlmo explor ing his new find, but nt length, ow - lug to scarcity of provisions, wob compelled to set out on tho return Journey lo land. Tho men had been on tho Ico for nearly seven months. The returr to shore was accomplished wllh great difficulty. The men sub sisted on tho most meager rations, but kept moving day nfter day, Tho dogs wero almost famished. Finally tho party arrived at Hanks land, thor oughly worn out. For seven 'months thoy had been on scanty rations, but traveling almost continuously. Found by Polar JUnr Sfernnspon nnd his companions made their way from Hanks land, which Is uninhabited, to Halley Island -which Ih vfslled by whalers. Captalu Louis Lane, crullng on his power schooner Polar Hear, found Stofans son and his comrades making their way along tho southwestern coast of Unlloy Island. Thoy wero In excel lent henllh and spirits, and eager to reach tho southern wing of tho oxpo dltlon, that they might obtain sup plies nnd contlnuo their exploration. Slefansson hnd expected to fall In with tho Polar Hear Just as ho did. o Immediately chartered tho Polar Hear and with Captain Lane proceod od northward at once In tho hope of making further discoveries whll tho sea was oiwn and freo of Ico. Tho season was too far advanced, how over, and tho explorers reluctantly steered for llerschol island.

Ho purchased 'tho Polar Hear for $20, 000 from Cnptnln Lnuo nnd bought nlso tho power boat Gladiator, n small vessel engaged In trading along tho const. After fully culp ping theco vessels Slefansson sailed with them for Banks land, whero ho probably Is now.

Tho tlmo of tho return of tho expedition cannot bo foretold, as Slqfansson Intends to contlnuo un til ho'has fully ascertained tho limits of tho new land ho linn discovered. He will also seek new lands. With characteristic modesty Stef ansson told Captain Cottlo that, ex cept for n few dnja beforo reaching Hanks land ho and his tow compan ions suffered no particular hardships. Although on very short rations dur ing the entire ooven months, on the ice, they always had enough food to keep hunger away. Thoy never miss ed n meal during the whole Journey, which wns nioro than Stefansson could say of somo of his former Arc tic Journeys. Tho modesty of Stof nnsson may bo Judged from tho fact that ho and his companions lived seven months on food designed to last three months.
