Stefansson in his report mentioned a tribe of ‘Fish People’ living near ‘aylor island. I assumed that if there were natives on the island they were the only ones never seen by white men. I was naturally quite eager to find them. After we were frozen in wé ‘made 4 complete search and found none at all. I be- Neve Taylor isiand is without human beings, except occasionally once a ‘year when natives from neighboring islands go bear hunting there. “By dog sleigh we went from Tay- lor island to King William's land and stayed there for more than two years. We had to make the best of it, We had to eat to live and we had to hunt to eat, so we moved about with the natives and had experiences enough to keep us busy and free our minds of thoughts of our predica ment. WERE PRISONERS OF THE NORTH the many months of our stay the ice held strong all about us. We were prisoners of the North. On September 2, 1919, we found the sea clear enough for sailing and made our way west again to Coro nation gulf once more, going into winter quarters there.

BERNARD STORY ee STARTS ON PAGE 1 in November I arrived in Seattle The distanite from Nome to King William's land is roughly 1,800 miles, FIND TRACES OF EARLY EXPEDITIONS “Only two white men, I belleve, jhad been on Taylor isiand previ jously. They were Hansen, mate on |Amundsen’s expedition, and Collin son, the British naval officer who commanded the expedition in 1851 in search of Franklin. About half a dozen men have visited King Wil- Nam's land, including Franklin, Me- |Climtock, Hall and Amundsen. “We found traces of the expedi- tions of Sir John Ross and Sir John |Franklin. Franklin was the last man who tried to find a northwest pas fage to India for the British ad miralty, He and his men perished during the winter of 184748 He Felix. One of his ships, apparently |@rifting, sunk near Sherman inlet. |Natives of today say their fathers told them that no white men were aboard when the ship went down Natives on Adelaide peninsula, near King William's land, have bits of brass from Franklin's ship and we also found a brass label from a po- tato tin bearing the insignia of the British government. We found a British naval uniform brass button of the Ross expedition of 1828, “The natives of the Arctic region I kt come in corrtact with the out runners of civilimtion and it has |not been good for them. They are changing their ways for the worse. They are now adopting the style of clothing worn by western natives, jabandoning their own distinctive |Styles. They have quit making their own clothing and implementa, The |native stove, cooking utensils, spears, bows and arrows and the like are rapidly becoming a thing of the past I believe I had the sutisfaction of ‘bringing out the last complete col lection of native art and handcraft. NATIVES LOSING VALUABLE GAME “The natives crave modern arti jcles and are getting them as traders gradually push farther into the Aro- tic region. They are eager for rifles and are literally shooting themselves out of game for food and clothing, “In the old days of hunting with |bow and arrow, spear and harpoon, the percentage of lost caribou and seals was insignificant. Nowadays, at least 50 per cent of the caribou get away wounded and dle, This is ja disastrous loss to the natives since |the caribou is the chief source of |elothing. About 75 per cent of the seale are lost thru rifle hunting. A wounded seal flops into a hole in the ice and is gone forever. “Formerly a miss with a spear or harpoon merely meant that the seal got away but did not die, “I was told that at one Hudson's bay post the natives were Instructed to kill caribou and string traps around the carci%ses to catch white | foxes. The fox catch increased im- mensely, but with tragic effect on the caribou. All over the land we covered We saw skeletons of caribou “If such reckless practices keep up, the Canadian government will within 10 years, clothe the northern natives to pre vent extinction of the race, “Early-day traders and explorers have told me that the northern coasts were once thickly populated with natives, ‘Today they are sparse ly settled, In 1919, at Coronation {gulf, pneumonia took a heavy toll. Disease in the Mackenzie district, contracted in the days when whale hunting meant a fortune to rough and ready adventurers, is still preva lent and has done ite vicious part to weaken a likable and hospitable peo ple, The northern natives are for | the most part peaceful beings, and there are. few crimes of violence, considering their primary stage of civilization, BLONDE ESKIMO IS FANCIFUL “There has been much tnterest in the so-calléd blonde Eskimo ever since Stefansson was quoted as say- he hed seen that kind. Tam of THE SEATTLE STAR ‘3RD WOMAN IN STILLMAN CASE “Helen” Said to Have En- raged Florence NEW YORK. June 10—A third corespondent, known as “flelen,” | will be named by Mrs, Anne Still man in a@ second amendment to her counter charges against her hus- | band in the Stillman divorce sult, according to plans of the detense to day. The amended answer will be filed before the next hearing, scheduled for next Wednesday, it was stated ‘The amendment will declare that ja Woman named Helen spent a night om the yacht Modesty with James A, Stillman in November, 1920, At that time it was sald the Modesty was lying off 123rd st, New York city. ‘The allegation is supported by af fidavit of the yacht’s steward, who is prepared to swear that a woman Stillman addressed as “Helen” came on board the yacht in the egmpany of Stillman and spent the night. The next morning, according to the story of the members of the crew, rence Leeds, mother of Jay Ward Leeds, and the first woman named by Mrs, Stillman jn her counter charges, came aboard in a alous rage, She was said to have ased the other woman with hay ing stolen articles of jewelry belong ing to her which were on the yacht, “Helen” was selected by the de fense from a lat of several others whose alleged friendship with Still man has been the subject of special investization for the last three months, it was learned, It was asserted from counsel for both sides that there is little pos sibility of the hearings being again postponed, tho it was intimated that probably they would be public in stead of Orthopedic Tonight A benefit dance will be held at Luna park tonight by the Alki auxil lary the Children’s Orthopedic hospital. Funds are to go toward endowing ao bed in the orthopedic in stitution. An excellent orchestra hag been secured, the commit charge states, and special entertain: ment features are on the program. The Star erroneously stated Thurs. day that the dance was to be Thurs day night. enn | the opinion that the blonde Eskimo jis more fanciful than réal. 1 have seen natives with lighter-color hair, brown eyes and mustaches, and oth ers who would suggest the Albino or freak type, but they are not numer yabandoned his two ships near Cape Co have to feed and|* ous enough to be considered a dis tinct tribe. There are odd looking Eskimos, just as there are unusual persons in any race, but they are the exception to the rule and do not prove a general racial characteris tic, That is my concluston, “The study of «the origin of the present Arctic tribes offers an inter. esting work, for as yet little real ef fort has been made in that field of endeavor. It seems probable that the Siberian Eskimos crosséd ‘the Bering channel in the early days—eny, one thousand years ago—and fought with the tribes around the landing on Cape Prince of Wales, Skin boats are not a product of modern years, and could have been used for the crossing at that time. ‘CE ACROSS EL 1S SHORT “In fact, making a voyng® across the Bering is no great feat, The dis tance is 44 miles by the shortest route and this is made less strenuous by Diomede island, near the center of the strait. It is 20 miles from Cape Prince of Wales to Diomede and 24 miles from there on to East Cape, Siberia. “The fierce Tartars of Mongolia were continually warring with their northern neighbors, and it can be as- sumed that the natives of Upper Si- beria, growing stale of the clash at home, took the way across the chan- hel to seek new adventures and new places to live. They fought and van quished the Cape Prince of Wales natives, the defeated moving on far- ther east. As other waves of invad ers came across, the same process was repeated, the Eastern Arctic area being gradually populated ‘as tribes spread out to escape pressure from enemies, In wars between vari- ous tribes, the custom of keeping captive women was followed. It seems a logical theory that in this manner a common base of language was developed. Altho we found a different dialect in each district, the general characteristics were the same.” ‘ STUDIES BIRD LIFE OF THE ARCTIC During his last voyage Into the North, Capt. Bernard made a careful study of bird life and included in his scientific data an interesting collec tion of eggs and nests. He found two sets (four eggs to a set) of eggs of the knot sandpiper, which follows the asons north and south. His find od to the scanty knowledge of the breeding habits. Prior to 1916, no eggs of the yellow bill loon had ever been found. Capt. Bernard had two sets (two eggs to the set) in his collection “In going thru customs at New York, ono egx in each set was broken,” said Capt. Bernard, “ruin ing my collection, which was quite rare, and therefore quite valuable This one little incident added to the excitement of my latest trip into civ ilized couftries, I thought a great deal of those ewes and I didn't smile when I lost them.” The explorer visited Ottawa, Can. ada, while in the East this spring, a conference with Dr, R. M. on, commander of the recent n Arctic expedition, South. ern party. While there he disposed of a scientific collection to the Vic- toria museum. VISIT , ISLAND Capt. Bernard Intends to nel island, off the north t of Siberia, He will make a jection of walrus groups and will search for skeletons of prehistoric animais. It will be remembered that Stef. ansson’s ship, Karluk, sank 40 miles off Wrangel island in 1914, and seven or eight of his men were lost. Capt. Bernard was born on Prince Edward island 42 years ago, He is now a naturalized citizen of the United States, He made his first trip to Nome in 1901 and since that time has made many voyages into the Arctic and along the Siberian coast ADMIRAL SIMS STANDING PAT Declares He Believes in Telling the Truth LONDON, June 10.—“The peace and progress of the world depend | upon the cooperation of the Eng- lish-speaking people,” Admiral W. 8 Sims told the American Lancheon club here today. “If that is objectionable,” he add- od, “make the best of it.” Sims declared his antiSinn Fein talk be fore the English-Speaking Union was the same thing he had said in nu merous lectures in America. “L intend to keep on doing the samo thing,” he declared, Sims re ed to make public his reply to Secretary Denby's query as to whether he had been quoted cor reetly Sims was given a tremendous ovation today, when he was guest of honor at the meeting of the| American Luncheon club here. Bapecialty lond cheers camo from the British guests. “He's done it again,” said Wilson Cross, chairman, in introducing the idmiral, “He's done it again, but we're all for him,” Sims made a lengthy address, but touched only incidentally on the con troversy growing out of his talk be fore the English Speaking Union. “I believe in talking the truth, but not to excess,” he said, “I'm afraid I did so the other day—in the opinion of some persons. But what I sald was practically the same thing I have said in numerous plat form speeches In the United States.” eee Harding to Hear of Admiral Speech WASHINGTON, June 10.—Elim ination of factional strife and insur gency in the United States army and navy was before President Harding and his cabinet today. Secretary Denby, it is understood will confer with Harding to secure his support in any disciplinary ac tion he may plan against Admiral Sims for the London speech, in which that officer flayed Irish sym: pathizers in the United States as “gebras or asses.” retary Weeks was also expect ed to talk with the president on the Menoher-Mitchell row in the alr ser vice, and to ask the executtve’s sup: port in stamping out friction and internal politics in the army. Senatorial investigation of Admiral Sims’ speech probably will await Sims’ report to Secretary of the Navy Denby, in response to his su pertor’s request for an explanation, members of the committee said to day. Injured Army Men * Are Recovering INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, June 10.— Milton L. Foreman, general in the Illineis national guard, and wealthy Chicagoan, who was seriously in jured in an automobile accident which took the life of Frederick W.

Discovery of Gold Reported THE PAS, Man., June 10.—Discov. ery Of a vein 60 feet wide containing scattering free gold at Elbow lake, in the Athapapaskow region, report: ed three weeks ago, was confirmed here today with the return of a num- ver of mining men who hurried to the location. They said they consid. ered it the most important strike made In Canada. Two Are Cleared in Bank Case TACOMA, June 10.— Prosecutor James W. Selden was preparing to- day to appeal to the supreme court from the decision yesterday by Su- perior Judge Walter M. French which cleared Charles Drury and Gustaf Lindberg, directors of the Seandinavian American Building company of all criminal charges in connection with the recent failure of the Scandinavian American bank. Sentence on Ole Larson, convicted president of the bank, will be pro- nounced next week.
