LIKING FI HUM!
Another chapter has been added
to the long history of dependable
performance of outboard motors in
the Arctic and Antarctic seas.
Harold McCracken, one of the
J ^nncipals of the Stoll-McCracken
expedition into the upper reaches
of the Kolyma river in northern Si
^ beria. has supplied the new episode.
“The two Johnsons were with us
at every stage of the trip,” wrote
McCracken on his recent return to
New York City. “They were given
some darn hard usage and they
stood up marvelously. We used the
larger one to push our entire out
fit across the tundra country of the
Bering Sea coast of the Alaskan
peninsula into a ‘new’ big bear
country. And believe me it got some
htard knocks, due to the ‘riffles’ of
rocks and sand.
“At Diomode Island, the Eskimos
have reallv withstood the on-march
of civilization far more than any !
f other section of the Arctic, due, 1
perhaps, to their almost perfect!
isolation.
“They still use the walrus-hide ;
‘oomiaks’ which they have been j
using since the year one. These j
are really flat bottom boats covered !
with the tough walrus hide.
“I showed them the big Johnson
and they wanted it put on the back
of one of the queer looking craft.
They were a little skeptical of it at
first, but it worked perfectly. In
fact so perfectly that I had to let

, McCracken is well known in
sporting and outdoor fields. He is
a great hunter and has had many
articles on all types of big game
hunting published in such periodi
cals as “Sportsmen”, “Field and
Stream”, and others. The Stoll
McCracken expedition was organiz
ed under the direction of the
American Museum of Natural His
tory. With McCracken on the trip
were a number of well known
scientists who secured invaluable
specimens from that part of Siberia
lying within the Arctic Circle.
Mrs. Andy Novak, wife of the
local business man, was among
the local residents leaving for
the States on the Steamer Ala
meda. Mrs. Novak is bound for
California for a several weeks
visit.
