DRAMA ON THE COAST j
OF YUKON TERRITORY
On the northern border of Yukon
Territory has been enactee within the
last year one of the most interesting
Arctic dramas. It is h> connection
with the Stefansson polar expedition,
backed by the Canadian government,
and the last word in the unusual ad
venture is yet to come. Possibly later
advices will be brought overland from
McPherson or Ilerschel Island this
winter by mushers. Stefansson is sup
posed to be alive yet somewhere along
the Arctic coast of this territory or of
the adjoining territory of Mackenzie.
Ottawa Is looking anxiously for every
scrap of Information from the purls
and coast people are taking much in
terest ill the movements of the explor
er. A message front Seattle to the
Juneau Kmptre under date of Nov. IS,
says:
"Stefansson is up against a stiff pro
position," says Captain Joe Bernard,
in a Post-Intelligences interview, who
arrived on the steamship Victoria from
a five years cruise in the Arctic “But
knowing him and his part.' and the
[conditions which thej are called ii|ion
to meet, i would not give him up for
a year to two years, if any man in Die
world cun come through an adventure
such us lie is embarked upon. Stefan
sson is the man.
"Tile onlv unfavornble. thing in con
nection with their adventure is t h*
fact that they did not take a very
great number of cartridges. And yet
even if thev used up cverv one, I would
not give him up. Stefansson learned
from tlie natives of the coast how to
spear seals, and 1 bellevt that some
Way he will be able to make a spear
and get enough to eat with it It is
accident that I fear for him rather than
st arva t ion.”
Capt. Bernard five vi-nrs ago went
North on tlie little gasoline ...
Toddy Bear, and in it went as far east
along Ihe Arctic shore of North Amer
ica. as <1 id the Danish explorer Three
of the live winters that lie spent up
there were spent in the v icinity of Cor
onation Oulf, among the blond esklmos
of whom Stefanssi.n speaks.
f'iipt. Bernard was the last man to 1

whlch. following the orders of the mis
sing explorer, were heading east to get

now a visitor In Seattle said at the
Vew Washington last night: "T believe
that Sfefansson has onlv a fighting
chattce to eome out alive When he
started out over the Ice the wind was
blowing toward the east, hut before he
could have reached there It had chang

Added to the difficulty of traveling
faster than the ice moved was the pos
sibility of striking a stretch of i>p"ti
water before reaching the land

the Nugget, as to the tourist question were not mere vanorings, that
\ there would indeed be a serious attempt to divert to Alaska a portion
of that vast arm\ of sightseers who will \ isit the Pacific Slope during
the coaling summer, the Nugget has taken special pains to ascertain
with certainty the full extent of the movement and also to learn the
opinions of those best qualified t<> know as to its probable success
1 hat the statements published at intervals in the Nugget arc not idle
buncombe, that it is an absolute and irrefutable fact that a most
tremendous movement with a backing which practically assures its
success, has been started, and that, without a question of a doubt, a
vast number of sightseers will journey to the shores of Alaska during
the coming season, is attested by tlie following facts obtained bv the
