A SPECIALTY
THE spirit of service which exists in the
* operation of The Alaska Railroad, has
made our patrons our friends, and the safe
guarding and transportation of their ship
ments to stations on our line, to their entire
satisfaction is our ambition.
During the month of May the season of
river navigation will augment our rail serv
ice, and freight and passenger travel will
receive the benefit of our experience.
Trains will connect with all sailings on
the Tanana and Yukon Rivers.
Timetables, descriptive literature, etc.,
will be gladly furnished on request.

; that we could hardly last to reach Si
beria. Our rations were now reduced
to crackers and chocolate and this was
fast disappearing. We divided the ra
tions with the understanding that each
could use his choice in one big meal
or string it out. On the last day the
food consisted of chocolate and water.
On the last day before reaching land
Captain Wilkins, scanning the white
horizon with his glasses, announced
that he saw a pole, which meant land.
I looked but could not see the pole
where he pointed. Searching, I was
covered a pole in an entirely different
direction. The thought came to me:
| “I wonder if we are seeing’things, and
the' first hallucination is poles?
We had not traveled long, however,
before we came upon a sled track. We
could tell that the driver was traveling
light, because he was riding and had
only a few dogs.
“We will only have to walk about
40 miles farther,” said Captain Wil
kins. This was repeated frequently
as we trudged along, both pretty tired
and hungry.
Finallv I picked up something with
j
my glasses that looked like the roof j
of a house.
-“Just a pressure ridge,” said Wil
kins, “and there is yet lots of walk
ing.”
Finally we both agreed that what I j
had seen was a house; there could be ;
no mistaking it. No smoke was ap
parently issuing from the chimney. 1
Wilkins remarked dryly; “Some
i
abandoned camp; all have gone hunt-j
ing, maybe.”
Safety and Comfort
Following instructions, the base
planes had flown along the coast to all
settlements dropping letters telling
the people to be on the lookout for us.
People soon appeared, and shortly
thereafter we arrived at Edwards’ road
house, at Point Beechey.
The principal dish of our first meal
after reaching civilization was a i
piece of whale skin with the blubber
attached, which had been baked. This j
is the first time I ever relished this
stuff, and ate heartily.
I discovered later why Wilkins was ,
such a kill-joy when we were reaching
safety. He wished to guard against j
the elation one feels at emerging from j
a great danger and the nervous reac- i
tion that might have followed had the
poles and house proved fanciies, caus
ing depression or loss of spirit to fight
on.
Anyone wishing to have a polar joy
ride may find a pretty good airplane
perched up on a pressure ridge some
250 miles out into the Arctic ocean.
Mr. Eielson will make his decision
as to the future after he arrives out
side. He has the opportunity to join
the Army Air Service with rank of
captain and also an offer from the
Dernier-Wall company which is pre
paring to put on 'two 25-passenger
planes to ply between West Palm
Beach, Miami, Fla., and Havana,
Cuba. If he accepts this, he will go
to Germany to take a course in the
factory where the planes are made.
