There were thousands of these birds nesting there during the party’s visit. The gulls would drive the mother birds |off their nests, take the baby birds| high in the air, drop them to the| ground and then descend and eat them. Visit Naval Force On its return from Bogoslof Isl- and, Pather Hubbard's party spent a night with the Navy's Aleution | Islands expedition where they were | guests of Admiral Gannon aboard the Oglalla: On their departure the following morning the tender on Beaver Caracul Dyed Fox Broadtail i Iynx Raccoon which the party was traveling gave H ) the parting whistle salute of three & Sealine whistles and fired a rifle salute of 13 shots in honor of the Admiral. The Oglalla almost blew the tender out of the water with the blasts of |her big whistle as she returned| |the salute. Later in the morning while the Oglalla was at anchor | the tender passed her on the way back to False Pass. All officers land crew of the Navy ship were lined up and, in lieu of the Santa Clara University song, sang that | of Notre Dame, and loosed a rocket | salute. | Another Katmai Visit | The Valley of Ten Thousand | smokes, Katmai, was the scene of the expedition’s next adventures. After a perilous landing during| which Father Hubbard and two of | his aides spent most of the night in water, they made their way across the spongy flats where! quicksands abound through tue {pass into the famed valley. | This was his fourth trip into Ithis area which, he said, “is al- | ways threatening you with its | worst.” He found everything chang- o ptel |ed.

His investigations showed the crater to resemble a cup with the sides steep and rounding off onto a flat bottom. The Katmai crater lake, he added, is not more than 200 feet deep anywhere. Here for few days These expeditions, the said, are regarded as hi ations and rest periods. After a sghort stay here, during which he will lecture he will proceed to the States. He opens his winter lecture tour at Seattle about October 1. He ex- pects it to be as strenuous as that of last' winter, when he averaged one lecture a day for the entire period. The proceeds of his lecture tours, he told the Chamber, go to Bishop Crimont for support of the Alaska explor Missions, of which the Bishop is the head. He dispelled the idea that his expedition this Summer was fi- nanced by the National Geographic Society He had applied, at the Society’s request, for such backing, but when he learned in order to obtain it he would have to forego writing anything for newspapers and periodicals and lectures for a period of two years, except under the auspices and for the benefit of the Society, he rejected the offer. However, the Society, he said, ad- vanced him a fee for a lecture to be given under its auspices in Con- stitution Hall this winter. This sum, he added, was equivalent to about eight per cent of the cost of the season’s activities. | Little Business Up ‘The Chamber’s business session was short. The Executive Commit- tee reported it had rejected all of- fers to rent the Information Booth building for the Winter as it did not believe it was proper to com- pete with property owners with vacant space for rent. Tt was also announced a series of talks on territorial subjects would be arranged for this winter. Elmer Reed was billed for the first today but asked to have his time allotted to Father Hubbard. The Nome talk probably will be made next week. B L A Ads Pay!
