CAPT. BERN I ER'S CLA1 MS AND
DR. COOK'S STATEMENT.
The Commander of the Arctic Lee -
tures on His Voyage Before Ot-
tawa Canadian Club -Sir WiIfrid
Leerier Gives Him "Roving Coda,
mission.
Ottawa, Oct. 18. -Canada is to here
a North Pole expedition of her cern,
and captain Bernier, with the steamer
Arctic, is to carry it out. That was in
effect announced by Sir Wilfrid Baur.
ier at the conclusion of an illumin-
ative address by 'tee Arctie's cern-
mender on his last trip to the erotic
archipelago delivered before two I une'
dred members of the Ottawa Cana-
dien -Club at luncheon on Saturday
afternoon. Capt. Bernier, after telling
how he had faithfully carried out his
commission te plant the British fiag
on all the known islands in the Artie
Oeetin to the north of the Canaeitue
mainland, and had clahned for eau;
ada "in detail and by the wholesale"
every bit of land right up to the Pole;
declared that when he had a good.
chance to make the northWest passage
last summer in the arctic and knew
he must simply obey orders 'like a
good sailor and turn back it.fter relt.ch-
ing Melville and Banks Islands,' tears
cf‘fne to his eyes because the Govern-
ment had not allowed him a little more
"Mtitude."
Sir Wilfrid, speaking a little later,
declared, amid cheers, that Caneela
was proud of Capt. Bernier,'Who lore
his laurels so modeetty. "And if," he
.adeled„ "he will undertake the job
again, we will give hint all the latitude
and longitude he wants, We shall tell
elm to take the good ship Are* and
his ertew and all the stores necessary
and carry the British flag as far north
as he can end bring back all the eci-
entifie data he can gather, 1 hope
he will be able to start out next spring
with no restrictions in his comnimission
bxtt the• general order to spread Cana-
dian jorisdietion over all the north-
ern scan. • It has happened betore
that wbat we have supposed to be
wahine but barrenness has proved to
be rich in mirreral wealth or other
natural resources. We will give him
another commission unfetteren by re-
strictions. He .may go to the Pole
of beyond the Pole, wherever there are
lands to be claimed or useful observe,-
ticns to be made; ',and no one isbetter
fitted for such a task." '
Captain Bernier told his story in a
charactetistie manner. it was flavored
with quaint touches of humor, nautical
metaphors and a sailor -like • making
light of difficulties and hardships. He
noted that there had been 15$ British
expeditions to the Arctic. For this teat
one,which completed the taking posses-
sion of'all the land in sight, the Cana-
dian Government had given him aecrew
of forty-three men, a tine' little ship,
"and lots of stores." The first mission
of the ,Arctic last Summer had been to
land storce for Dr. Cook, Thereby Brit-
ish sailors had only been paying the
interest on the debt owing to Atnerican
sailors for help and • rescue given to
British expeditions in the horth. He
deseribed the route of the Artie through
the northern archipelago to the winter
quadtere at Melville Island, When he
arrived there he found an open sheet
of water, apparently-, leading right

of the persons who had made the at.
