JUNE ISSUE ALASKA
SPORTSMAN IS LARGEST
Two outstanding bohind-the
Leadlines stories, plus over 35 pic
tures and four more pages than
ever before in a regular issue,
make the June number of The
Alaska Sportsman one of the best
issues of this magazine to date.
One of the greatest man-hunts
in history, the search for the six
Soviet airmen who disappeared
in the Arctic in August. 1937 is
do ribed in the story, “We Tried
to Solve an Arctic Mystery” by
Homer Flint Kcllcms.
A smudge of oil on the waters
of the Arctic Ocetyi a weird tale
by Eskimos of having seen a
largo, fast moving object “that
■make loud noise like Evinrude”
suddenly disappear “with big
splash" into the Arctic - these
wore the only clues that led the
Kelloms expedition to risk their
lives against the freeze-up to
drag the ocean bottom in the vi
cinity of Thetis and Spy Islands
in search of the aviators.
Yet, as a result of thus effort
the expedition believes they
know what happened to the So
viet aviators! And they are con
firmed by two of the keenest
minded men in the Arctic region,
“We tried to Solve an Arctic
Mystery” will thrill everyone who
reads the June Alaska .Sports
man.
Of equal interest is the article,
“There llad Been Evil Omens"
by George L. Devenny. There are
many who believe the Aleutian
Islands Schooner “Iskium” was
ill fated from the very start o(
her voyage, so serious were the
warning of bad luck before hei
s ling to the Northward on Feb
iu ry 27, 1931. And well mighl
they be right for in the dead oi
the night a short while later, the
Iskum struck hard and fasl
where there should be no rock?
For those who like to read of ad
venture at sea Dcvcnny’s story

and of the truth. He was skippei

HUDSON BAY ROUTE’
IS TIIE SAFEST
WINNIPEG, Manitoba, June 12
The war at sea and a timely
report by Dr. Alevander D. Baj
kov, Russian scientist at Church
ill Manitoba, on Hudson Bay, it is
believed popularized the Hudson
Bay shipping route.
Many grain men are convinced
the northern route from Canada I
will prove the safest if the Europ
eon war is of long duration. With
Dr. Bajkov’s declaration that the
port can be kept open almost the
year around grain men arc hop
ing the bay route will get its first
real break. Plans are under way
for a campaign to put these views
before the public.
Dr. Bajkov, a graduate of the
University of Czecho-Slovakia
and a prominent hydrologist and
biologist, has made an extensive
study of the Hudson bay district
from his private research station
at Churchill.
The report by D. Bajkov states
that only one-half to three miles
of ice at the mouth of Churchill
harbor would have to be kept
open to facilitate continuous ship
ping thru the northern passage.
“Hudson Bay and Hudson
Strait never freeze in winter,’” j
Dr. Bajkovs report adds. "The
ice fom Fox Channel, considered
in some quarters the chief men
ace to the extension of the Hud
son Bay route is not a deter- j
I mining factor.
| “The local ice condition at;
I Churchill determines the closing
date. The open water during the;
severest part of the winter is
|only one-half mile to three miles1
' from Churchill, and 1 can see the
possibility of navigation for near j
ly all the year.”

They ruin the slow-reviving rein
