The discovery brings to a closs a search which has been in progress for over two years, Hornby, after coming to Canada, passed his early days in the wilds of northern Alberta, later amassing a fortune at Edmonton, Alta. Prior to the fatal journey into the Arctic region, he had gone from Chesterfield Inlet, on Hudson Bay, and was considered a resourceful tra- veler. . Lack of provisions is believed to be the reason for his failure to return from the northern wilds on his last tour of exploration.

This might have complicated matters had I not been able to turn it to a good account. "The method of blood testing com- sists in taking a drop of blood from the ear, and as the Indians seemed to think that the test was in the nature of a cure for influenza, I had little difficulty in performing It. In fact, many of them confessed that they felt much better for it!
