A. Bartlett and one of his men, ig now on Wrangel Island, with a plen- tiful supply of food and wood. Capt. Bartlett, accompanied by Sailor Perry and some Eskimos, with a sledge and seven dogs, made his way across the ice to North Cape, Siberia, and theu proceeded overland to Whaler Bay Siberia. There he was taken on board the whaler Herman, which earried him to St. Michael, where he now is, and from which point information of the Karluk's fate came by cable. The expedition which Stefansson organized and commanded was under: taken for more than geographical reasons. It was sent out by the Cana- dian Government not only to discovel what might be lying in the Arcti¢ Ocean to the north of the Dominion, but also to take formal possession as British territory of any islands o1 even continents which might still be unknown. On the maps of to-day there is a vast blank space stretching to the west of Banks and Melville Islands to the north of Alaska and Siberia. To discover what it might contain, to see if there was any truth in the tradition that here was a mighty con- tinent perhaps never yet trodden by the foot of men, the expedition went forth. The whereabouts of the Karluk had been a mystery for months-- after Stefansson had gone ashore on a land exploring trip she was caught in the ice and drifted away. There has been much speculation over her fate. The ship drifted for nearly four months--slowly drifted with the ice in which she was fast locked until fin- ally the water poured in the engine room down the main batch and the ship sank bow first. Most of the provisions, scientific in- struments and stores were placed on the ice before the ship took her down- ward plunge. Two houses were built on the ice--one of snow, the other of boxes covered with sails. There was a stove in each house, and plenty of coal was saved. This camp was call- ed Camp Shipwreck and answered its purpose well until there was sufficient light to begin ihe march and trans- portation of stores to Wrangel Island, about sixty miles away, which was reached on Feb. 13 following and | where a camp was established. Realizing the necessity for immedi- ate relief, Capt. Bartlett left on Feb. 18 for the Siberian shore, 100 miles away. The little party made its way 'GANADA'S.

Cunningham, chiet in- | spector of Dominion fisheries, that will be paid during the com- ing year on another 1,000 hair seals. |The first thousand seals, on which | a bounty of $3.50 a head came into | bounty { force at the beginning of the year, ' have already been killed and paid | for, and the same price has now been placed on the head or, rether, the tail, of each of another thousand. Of the thousand seals on which pounty has been paid, only a. dozen were shot in the Fraser River, al- though the department's patrolmen have reported seals in the river be- | tween Steveston and the Sandheads | in considerable numbers. | While some were reported in Feb- | ruary, they became much more plen- | tiful later, twenty being sighted on | March 4, while fifty-five were count- ; ed on March 10, and a hundred on | April 19. Few river fishermen seem | to have made any effort to get the | seals, though their tails are worth $3.50 each, and they are terribly de- structive of the salmon. Originally, it was a custom to pay | the bounty on seal scalps, but some ECF the Indians of the Atlantic coast started quite an important industry in manufacturing these, and the plan | had to be changed. | A French-Canadian Irishman. \ John Hall Kelly, formerly | member of the Quebec Legislative Assembly for Bonaventure county, | who has been appointed to the Que- | pec Legislative Council, is perhaps | the best known lawyer practicing in the far eastern part of the Province lof Quebec.
