BARTLETT BREAKES
INTO LITERARY GAME
Ned Darling is in receipt of a let
ter from some outside freinds which
informs him that Captain Robert A.
Bartlett, commander of the Karluk
who was with us in Nome three years
ago has written a most interesting
and fascinating book of Arctic travel,
exploration and adventure under title
"The last trip of the Karluk". It
gives a resume of the book as follows;
Tin expedi'ion had a two-fohl pur
pose; one division under Stefansson,
who discovered the blond Kskimo, was
to search for land to the north of
Beaufort Sea; the other, under R. M.
Anderson, was to explore northern
Canada east of the Mackenzie River.
The result of the expedition, after
more than three years, arc beginning
to be made known. Dr. Andex-son's
party has found valuable mineral de
posits and Stefansson discovered an
Arctic continent.
The Karluk. under Captain Bartlett,
who was master of Peary’s Roosevelt,
won the distinction of navigating a
ship farther north than any ship had
ever been navigated before.
The Karluk was frozen in the ice
north of Alaska, and zigzagged for
months until, when the long Arctic
night was at its darkest, she sank,
miles from land.
rpon her commander then rested
the burden of providing for the wel
fare nf scientists and sailors, anil
bringing them back to civilization,
beading his men to Wrangell Island,
he stalled with a young Eskimo and
walked over the ice two hundred miles
to the Siberian coast, and then for
live hundred miles to got a ship for
Alaska. The journey took over two
months. He saved the party.
t'aplain liartlett ranks with Scott
and Shaekleton as a brave man and a
cmnander, and his book is a notable
addition to Arctic history. There are
many touches of humor to lighten the
grimness.
Bartlett's book should make good
reading foi us who know him.
SIR ALBERT NICHOLSON
K. C. III. G. H20 D.R.Y.
The war college were busy discus
sing the European situation in the
Board of Trade this morning and quite
a lively discussion was entered into
between the supporters of those en
gaged. Speaking of the Kranco-Brit
ish drive Louis Melsing and Al Nich
olson took the floor. Melsing said
that "within a few days the world
would know why the Germans re
tired, but, that the allied forces would
know it first. That this retreat was a
ruse of the Germans to get them in
their net."
AI got very excited and said: “My
tied! Can that be so! What a dirty
trick! Me for the wireless quick. 1
will wire Haig and Joffre to look out
for this decoy play” and with that he
pot on his coat and headed towards
the radio station. Maybe before the
town goes dry A1 will be handed ft
knighthood and a section of the al
phabet for his action In saving the
allied forces. How does this look.
