Boalt It was more than a year ago that I saw Vilhjalmar Stefansson and his party sail on the Karluk from the Esquimault navy yard, near Victoria, in search of the Lost Continent, For an hour at least Stefansson talked to me of his plans and hopes. He was sure of His theory seemed him so sound that he did not see how he could fail. “Why,” he asked, “do the currents in the Arctic flow from Greenland along the Siberian coast instea. of straight across unless it is that they are deflected from the natural course by a great body of land—a continent? It is there—I know it is there.” Then, there were the blond Eskimos whom he had found on a previous expedition on the northern edge of the American continent, between the Macken- zie river and Prince Albert Land. Brother scientists had laughed at Stefansson’s “blond Eskimos,” and he was angrily determined that he would bring back such |proof of the existence of these strange people as would jturn the laugh on his critics | The men of the party were as buoyantly sure of success as was their leader.
