Whales May Supply MacMillan Party With Engine Fuel in Waters of Arctic How many miles to a whale, not how many miles to a gallon, is the problem of navigation with the Rowdofn, according to Comdr. Don ald B. MacMillan, leader of the MacMillan Arctic expedition under the auspices of the National Geo- graphic Soclety. Ofl-burning engines of most mod- ern ships are a bit particular about thelr diet. Heavy Texas they de- mand, but the Bowdoin engines are omnivorous. With almost mathe- matical precision, Comdr. MacMil- lan knows that if he can get so many miles on a whale, he re- quires a certain number of wal- ruses and & small herd of seal to get an equal distance. The Bowdoin burns seal oil, walrus oll, whale ofl and petroleum with equal facility. MacMillan does not an- ticipate having to harpoon mileage, since the ship will carry full tanks of ofl from Wiscasset, but the Aretic Is a land of emergencies, o no safety factor is overlooked. “We killed a whale at Etah last year, tried out the blubber and ob- 75 gallons of oil which came for the Bowdoin's en- * gald Comdr.

That cargo, however, keems much like carrying coals to Newcastle. Two hundred miles north of Etah there is a 22 foot seam of coal on the Green- land coast, and Comdr.
