COMDR. BYRD'S MASCOT, SURVIVES BY COURAGE AND WITS " EOMONTON ON HOP! essice 1. Most Intelligent Dog 1 n Camp. but His Master Has Had to Rescuc Him on Many Occasions. - BY RUSSELL OWEN. By Wireless to The Ster and the New York im LITTLE AMERICA, Antarctic, July 18.—Half way over to the mess hall this morning a dark little figure was found sitting in the snow. It was Iggle with- out his boots and his feet were cold, for it was 60 below zero. Iggle is the pet name for Igloo," Comdr. Byrd's mascot, and the most Intelligent dog in camp. When Iggle's feet are cold he won't walk. This morning he had gone with the commander to breakfast, had stop- ped outside for a few moments to play ‘with the pups and then had apparentiy been unable to break through them so he could scratch on the door for admit- tance. The pups are so big now that they are almost too much for him. When Comdr. Byrd was on the ship he was doubtful as to whether he shouid bring Iggie ashore. He is very fond of him, talks to him in his room and Iggie has all the traditional devotion to his master. The commander was afraid that one of the big dogs running around | might make a mouthful of Iggie some day. He brought him to Little Amer- ica, however. nd he has become th: pet of the camp and by a mirac survived. Byrd has had to re: many times. lggie Has Courage. | for it. But if no one tries to grab i Iggie will push it nearer and nearer, in- viting some one to snatch at it so he can growl and run awsy. If that doesn’t work, he will bite it and make i¢ squeak until some one grabs at him, just to change the sound. He can’t be fooled by teking the squeaker out of the ball and plowing it: it is the ball he wants, and he will pay no aitenticn to the squeaker unless it is ln the ball. Oune day he ook the ball over to the wess house and buried i the snow before going on. When he ball out and trotted buc He will play Lhe same way with & pet bone which he carrfes around when tired of the ball, and which he- hides under & rug or in a box which he places under the rug In the commander’s room, and sometimes Comdr. Byrd has fou a bone or two in his bunk, tucked down inside his sleeping bag. Iggie sleeps in the commander’s room in a box lined with warm wool and covered with a robe and a windproof. It is cold for him at night with the temperature in the house below zero and sometimes he gets uncovered. Then the commander, who looks at him every time he awakens at night, covers him up again. He is up early in the morn- ing and comes around where the men are dressing, rubblng up sgatust them | waggiug his tail and going from one to another as if to bid (hem & formal sood mornlng.

For Iggie has as much | courage asbrains and these, two qual- ities have probably saved h where a | less courageous and intelligent shor! haired animal would have died long| ago. Tggie’s first encounters were with pen- guins. They interested him greatly and he would bark at them and rush the only to be repulsed with & peck fr the penquin’s vicious beak or a whac | he will do whenever a pitch pipe or every one. He first goes to those who do things for him and merely bestows a perfunctory wag on those who do not play with him. Sometimes we ar amused by getting Iggie to sing, which harmonica is blown near him. He will howl mournfully as if he did not lik at all, his tail happily when he finishes it to say, “Gu ahead, fellows, let's all sing; I enjoy it, 100.” Most Affectionate Animal, Despite his barks and fights he is & | with a flipper, and a thoroughly i | dignant emperor penguin, weighing 75 | pounds, can hit a tremendous blow. Iggie | never caught one, but he had sev | passages at arms with penguins whic convulsed the crew. Once on shore he began to forage around for more excitement. The dog teams fascinated him. He would | plunge at a dog team, jump into the i middle one and in an instant disap- | pear in confused scrimmage that snarled traces and upset drivers' tem- pers. At first every one expected to see 'a mangled and half-dead Iggie pulled out from such a melee. but each e a little white bundle of noise would dash out of the center, barking madly at the excitement he had caused. He is mostly fox terrier, although his an- cestry is mixed and his speed and quickness saved him. Before a big dog could get a good grip on Iggie he was gone. But he got several honor- | able scars in this way from dogs which could have killed him with a snap of their jaws. Not Built for Cold Weather. When the weather became cold, 30 or more below, Iggie lost his desire to run around outside, particularly when the wind blew. He is not bullt to with- stand the low temperatures, although Nature has tried hard to increase his coat of hair to meet conditions. But at best it was a cold little dog which ran between the houses and scratched | frantically for admission. He alwa scratches three timés on the door and | then waits until some one has had time to let him in. If there is no re- sponse in a reasonable time, Iggie scratches again, a little harder, as much as to say, “Come on, let a fellow in, it’s cold out here,” and in he comes, tail wagging and showing every sign of gratitude. | One day Iggie was heard half yelp- | ing and half crying out in the tunnel, | making an awful noise so that those | inside thought he must be hAlf dead | after a fight. It was very cold outside | and when a man ran out there was Iggie sitting in the tunnel holding up one cold foot and howling with misery. When he is out walking with the com- mander he will suddenly lie down and whine, holding up one paw until he | is picked up and rubbed. Then he will jump down and trot gayly ahead again. The commander, however, thought he would try to protect Iggie. Men wear furs and boots, why shouldn't Iggie. So he had Alexander fashion a warm Ronne made him a set of leather boots. | Iggle thinks his coat is the most dis- | graceful garment ever made for a dog. | It is brown and covers him all over, | even his legs are covered down to the boots. Naturally it is & little stiff and | Iggie won't bend his legs when he walks, 50 goes along stiff-legged, the| view from the rear being so ludicrous | that every one howls with laughter, | while Iggie looks around with a mourn- | ful and aggrieved expression. as much | s to say “This is a dirty trick even if | it is for my own good.” When his boots are first put on he won't move, just stands as if anchored to the floor, only turning a reproachful glance at the commander, who calls to him ,to “come take a walk.” He has to be picked up-and then taken out door: where he walks reluctantiy, but duti fully. When he gets back inside again he looks around hopefully, as if to ask some one to “please take these con- founded things off so I can be a self- respecting dog again.” There has been a lot of fun over Iggie and his coat and boots. Iggie Loses a Boot. One day he lost & boot, and, being an inteligent’ dog, he let it stay lost. He came in looking unusually animated that day as if saying to himself “that's cne gone.” But it did no good, for Ronne made him another. Sometimes also he will simply refuse to budge, for he knows it is very cold. The com- mander will call him, but Igfgie merely looks up from a warm seat as if to say, “No boss. go ahead. I am not supposed to be a hardy explorer. The fire for me.” And that's all there is to it Iggie stays In. He has a fairly gond time, hcwever, for he enjoys playing with the pups, although they are now 80 large that they can easily roll him over in the snow, and when he has his blanket on they grab hold of it and make him yank indignan¥y to get away. But his alertness keeps him out of. serious difticulty with them. ‘There gre two big dogs which are com- pletely cowed by lggie s ferocions man- uer. ‘Cuey are peveral limes bigger than the litle terrior, but ihat doesa't help them’ much, Iggie's motto, like that of another famous fighter, seems to be 1 this case “ihe bigger they are the | harder they fall.” lggie will knock one | | of these dogs and stand over him, and | when_attempts are made to get up, | knocks him down again. If the dog; tries to slip away while Jggie is looking | around for applause, Iggie will hurl him- self at him. In some incomprenensibie; way it happens s0 quickly that the big: dog goes down 1like a halfback tackled in a foot ball game. "He actually hits the snow with a thump. Iggie must i somehow trip the dog’s hind legs by throwing his body against them. Most of the dogs have learned now that Iggie has some special dispensation, for he has beep rescued time and again when two or ‘three of them had him down, and when & dog goes down here he seldom gets up again. But he has been saved so olten ihey seldom try to eat him any more, and he has & won- derful time playing with them. On days as cold as this, however, he' sits inside or wanders around with his toys seeking some one to play with. He haz a rubber ball with a squeaker in it and will growl when any one | | zer0. woolen overcoat for Iggie. and Martin | | and porous rubber crumbles. | 22 and every one is looking forward to most affectionate animal. He wlil snug- gle down in one’s arms while belhg petted and grunt with enjoyment. And when Comdr. Byrd was away at the mountains for several days Iggie was inconsolable and wandered sround, re fusing to play with his toys. until the commander got back. He always knows when a flight is about to be made and sits looking at Byrd as if trylng to persuade him not to go. Iggle is & unique dog and has helped to make life a little merrier for all of us this Winter. The last two weeks have been the coldest we have had: in fact, if the average for the month stays anywhere near the average of the first half, 1 will be the coldest experience in the Antarctica. The average low tempe: ture so far in July has been 50 below zero. and Amundsen’s average for his coldest month, August, was 44. Eleven out of thirteen days touched 60 below and on one day recently it was 71 below And that is cold. When it is calm even at 70 below zero there is no discomfort inside or out for a short time it warmly clad, for with our fur clothing only the exposed parts of the face suffer, and when the nose is warmed by a hand it soon be- comes warm again. The only trouble is that while warming the nose the hand freezes. One feels suddenly a bite on & finger-tip. as if it had been seized by a palr of tiny pincers. But when the wind blows at all at low temperatures then it is almost impossible to face it for more than a few minutes at a time. Today, for instance. it is 50 below. a temperature to which we have become customed while walking, but there is a 10-mile wind, and that whips around the face and causes intense pain. nose continually suffers and the cheeks are nipped as if by fire. Cold without wind can be withstood, but cold with wind is impossible. Cold Does Strange Things. The extreme cold does strange | things. It is odd to stand outside and | hear one's breath as it freezes. When it was 70 below, the barrier snow con- tracted sharply and all about us could be heard cracks and snaps where the snow crystals let go under contraction. It was weird. as if the houses were buill on an unstable element that was mov- ing beneath our feet. So small are those cracks that we have never seen any of them except for the large crack just notth of the camp. The bay ice booms like distant guns at times when large | cracks apparently run scross iL. ‘The BUy wires on antenna pusts become as | taut as harp strings and hum when the slightest wind hits them, It has & curlous effect on our lights | . The candles used under the meteorological balloons must be warm- ed before they will burn outside for more than a few minutes, and, inci- dentally, what is believed to be a record- observation in cold temperatures was made when a balloon was sent up on the day it was 70 below zero.

Aggregate deposits of the banks were more than $22,500,000, and officials of the closed institutions said they hoped to start liquidation of accounts soon.

The President met with his cabinet this morning, but made few other en- gagements, it being his hope to have his desk completely clear of business when the time comes for him to enter upon his week end holiday. Members of the cabinet and the others who called at the White House today entered the executive offices by means of temporary steps through a low-cut window at the west end of the building, made necessary because of the construction work going on within the building and_which has necessitated the closing of the main entrance. It is expected that this window entrance will be used for the next 60 days, when it s hoped that the interior work will be completed, at least sufficiently to return to the regular entrance. The construction work is in connec- tion with the enlarging of the lobby in the executive office and the rear- rangement of the office rooms. so as to provide private offices for ‘Walter H.
