Arrivals from the Arctic report that
the much heralded Stefansson “ice ex
pedition.” turned out something of a
fizzle owing to the adverse ice condi
tions prevailing in the Arctic. The |
expedition was aimed at crossing the
Arctic from the vicinity of Herschel
Island to the Northern coast of Siberia
on the drift ice as it floated to the
westward. The effort was inaugurat
ed by Stefansson during the winter of
1917-18 while the explorer was ill on
Herschel Island. The expedition con
sisted of three men led by the noted
Storker Storkorson, who accompanied
Stefansson on his famous trip across
Beaufort Sea in the winter of
1915-16, during which the explorer and
his party, consisting of Storkcrson and
Ole Anderson, remained on the ice for
a period of nearly six months, sub
sisting most of the time on the seal
killed during the Journey. The trip
apparently gave Stefansson the idea "f
crossing the Arctic to Siberia in the
same manner and led to the dispatch
of throe men in the spring of 191"
shortly before Stefansson. who was
then seriously ill with typhoid fever,
was brought overland from Herschel
Island to Ft. Yukon.
The party consisted of Storkcrson.
Martin Klllon and a man named
Gamar. The latter is said to have
been engineer on .the Polar Hear at
the time that famous vessel was trans
ferred to Stefansson by Douis
I„-ine in the spring of 191". y is said
the expedition deported in March last
year, heading northwest. The party
expected to subsist “off the country."
so to say, and the quantity of supplies
carried consisted only >>f the barest
necessities. The main item of sub
sistence was to be the seal meat ob
tained by hunting, together with such
other forage as might be obtained
from the sea or ice. The expedition
was unable to make much progress,
however, and returned to land after
remaining on the ice from the time of
their departure in March until some
time in the latter pa rt of October.
During the Intervening six months the
party drifted only about one hundred
and seventy miles west of their starting
point. The slight progress Is said to
have been due principally to the pre
valence of southwestern winds during
most of tlie summer.
The iwrty is said to have landed
some distance to the west of Herschel
Island. During 1 lie summer two of
the men, Gamar and Killon. were
picked up by the Herman at Wnin
wright and brought to Teller, They
are said to ho enronte to the Outside
and will probably come to Nome be
fore the close of navigation. Storker
son is said to have remained at some
point on tlie Arctic coast.
