Not one of the crew became sick jor contracted disease from this |diet, altho many of the men met violent deaths Asked why he did not attempt to visit the North Pole vicinity again, Stefansson explained that he wasan explorer, and did not trample on trodden ground. “Why » to a place already ex- plored?” Stefansson said. “It's new country that I want to find, to learn something new, to study con- ditions and know more about this earth of ours.” Square miles of land untrodden by man in the Far North—land that even he has not traversed, that re- mains to allure the investigator.

Sailor “Over There” Boosts Smoke Fund If you haven't contributed to Our Boys in France Tobacco fund, read what Seaman Wiliam Bridgeman, aboard the U. 8. 8. Winslow in for. eign waters, has to say about it in a letter to his pal, Ed Nelson, 213 Liberty building. The letter fol- lows: “Dear Friend Ed: You can just tle a visit after being in this part of the world seven months. I have !been in three countries so far and they cannot begin to compare with the good old U. 8. A. A person has got to be over here awhile to really appreciate what @ real country we have. “That Seattle newspaper (The Star) is sure doing good with the tobacco fund, as the tobacco is rather hard to get, and the stuff they turn out in these countries is absolutely no good. Believe me, I would swear off smoking if I had to use it. Right now, as I am writing this, I have the good old Bull clgaret. “Well, Ed, as I wrote you before. I am not allowed to write much about what is going on, but I am here to tell you, old pal, that I have seen quite a bit of the real stuff since writing to you last. One time a short while ago we picked up a big bunch of survivors from a ship that had been torpedoed and sent to the bottom. “After sinking the ship the subs had gone away and left these sur- vivors to look out for themselves hundreds of miles out at sea. When we run across them they had been hanging on life rafts some 20 hours. Only by luck we happened to run across them and if we hadn't it might have been Davey Jones’ locker for them. Say, boy, those guys wor- ship our good ship now. This is only one of the many things we get to see, and believe me, Ed, to torpedo 1 ship and leave the survivors is like hitting below the belt in a square fight. “Things are about the same ashore.
