Poor Knight is dead and Ada Blackjack is safe more in Nome. But three young men set out into storm last January to cross the grinding fce floes to Siberla, a distance of Iittle over 100 miles. 1 have been asked whether I think there is any chance they may still be alive. After what I have seen of the north, I would be the last person to ®ay that hope should be abandoned. I remember when the whole world believed my chlef, Stetansson, to be dead for more than a year. Yet I happened to be a member of the crew of the ship which found him alive and well on Banks Island, bliss- fully unconscious of the fact that he was either dead or suspected of being dead Sees Different Conditions. icase with most arctic lving largely on a meat dict a great deal of meat is required and the meat and blubber of thirty seals would not last very long under such conditions. . The rich red meat of the walrus, the cattle of the northern seas, should have supplied_them with the bulk of their fo But these animals cannot be hunted from ‘the shore. They are to be found in spring and fall along the drift- ing ice packs some distance off shore. In hunting walrus an umiak. or skin boat, is absolutely essential. 1t is light and ‘can be pulled out of the water, dragged across intervening ice floes and relaunched on the other side. But the ig 700-pound dory they had was pra tically useless for this purpose. They did succeed in getting two walrus, but after skinning them and loading the meat into the doj while trying to drag the boat out of the water on to a cake of had to croes in order to Heavy Boats Excites Surprise. I cannot understand how they ever came to bring such a heavy boat with them. The Karluk survivors, who spent seven months on Wrangel Island in 1914, of whom Maurer was one, suffered greatly for lack of an umiak and I can- not concelve why he ever allowed the party to leave Nome in 1921 without one. If they had had an umiak it scems entirely probable that there would have been no tragedy.
