LONE LOST VESSELS
NOME, Aug. 2. {IP)—While Amori.
can newspaper readers have the4r at.
| tention centered on th»3 featfs and
perils of »arctic aerial exploration,
Eskimos of the North Alaskan coast
search the horizon for another reason.
They seek every returning spring
for one or more of the phantom fleet,
the frozen lost ships, drifting with the
simiter ice pack from which sooner
or later, some of them must »3merge
as the great floes break with the sea.
sons.
MANY HAVE DISAPPEARED
Whether tbs fleet is legendary or
really exists is one of the problems
I haunting Arctic navigators for years.
Vessels have disappeared into the un_
explored polar basin ever since the
beginning of tlfe Arctic navigation.
In onis great swoop the death fanged j
ice pack in 1876 carried off 20 -whaling!
boats from the waters of the Ameri. I
can continent. All but 70 of the men 1
escaped to Point Barrow but the ships!
were frozen hard and high into the'
pack. The i-c*3 fields covering a mil.!
lion square miles rotates around the j
central pole slowly in the same di_
rection of tho earth’s movement and
in cycles brings objects gradually
back to certain spots.
Eskimos who have escaped from the
ict3 pack after being carried far North
into the unexplored wasts have re.
turned with tales of silent ships hard
and fast in the white bergs. Some
tells of seeing a ship sitting alone in a
yast solicitude. Others report sev»aral
boats close together but frozen solid
miles and miles in th»3 Arctic interior.
WATCH FOR PHANTOM
In the hope that some day the ice
. will break up and release one or more
of the phantoms Eskimos each spring
eagerly* scan the returning open wat.
ers. Should one of the old boats es.
cape in good condition, land be cast on
shore near the native villages they
might revel in the wealth of wood,
steel and iron instruments and vari.
ous stores. Once solidly frozen in the
Arctic, food, clothing, rope, tools and
weapons are preserved for all time
and return to usefulnes when thawed.
The first breakup of the polar seas
also brings Eskimos a great offering
of driftwood in which are found a
varied and more or less useful assort,
ment of articles.
