PSI.ER M.P , PRESIDENT. W. D. Arctic Ice Fields. MATTHEWS, VIOE.PRESIDENT, 0. A. BOGERT, General Manager.. PLIGHT OF TWO EXPLORERS. Their Fight Against Death by Starva• tion and the Visions That Were Con- jured Up by the Torture of the Mad- dening Pangs of Hunger. The terrible phantom that haunts every traveler In the desert is the pos- sibility that he will not find water. The arctic explorer rarely suffers from thi it, but another tin tiger. equally terrIble and menacing, is always on his trail starvation. In "Lost In the Arctic" Captain Einar Milthelsen. the explorer who, after having been given up for dead for over two years, was picked up In east Greenland by a sailing vessel, gives a graphic account of his race against hunger. 'Miele sledge dogs dead, their outfits abandoued, every morsel of food tong since devoured. the only hope or Mikkelsen and his companion RIIR to reach 17 Kilometer Naesset. where, on the fall trip, they had left a few tins of food. "(every two hours we make a short halt, but the rest is spoiled by the thought of the uncomfortable quarter of an hour that awaits us when we start and try to get our stiffened mus- cles into working order email Our feet especintly are very painful; the ankles are swollen and horribly tender. • "The pangs or hunger increase every minute. For my own part, I can think of nothing hut food. At first my thoughts dwell upon all sorts of dishes, but gradually they concentrate them- selves upon sandwiches—Danish sand- wiches. In particular my fancy turns upon the food that I have seen given away to beggars, and I grow furious at the thought or the contempt with which these gentry often regard such gifts. "Gradually the thought takes posses- sion of me that 1 nm walking In the streets or Copenhagen, engerly on the lookout for sandwiches. Suddenly 1 ispy whnt 'I am seeking. a little white 'object lytng to the right of nse. I turn to pick it tip, but as 1 stop my foot trikes against a stone. The shock brings me back to stern reality. I take in my belt and stagger on again. "Iversen is In no better case. I notice that he frequently stops and peers through the fieldglass at something on ahead; then he lets the glass fall again, with a shake of the head. Once or twice I ask whet he Is looking at, but the answer is always the same—he thought he had discovered a case of provisions. but It turned out to be a rock. "According to one reckoning, we ought to reach 17 Rilotneter Naesset by about 6 in the evening. We keep a sharp lookout for the point and sight something about 4 o'clock that looks like it. Once more, however, we are doomed to disappointment. It Is not the point. "We pass many old camping places, -encs of the Denmnrk expedition; but, tithongh we search long and carefully inning the old tins for any remains of food. we find nothing. In the gather- - trig dnrkness every point we approach seems to ns the one we seek. Encour- aged by the thought of food, we re- double our efforts. But when we get close enough to see that It Is not the point our flickering flame of energy dies down, and we stagger sullenly along with bowed heads. "We have no longer any idea a our whereabouts, and it Is indescribably ancanny to see time after time the mate headland with the two small hil- locks at its foot, the ghost of 17 Kilo- meter Iernesset. About 10 o'clock, half and with lounger and exhaustion. we give It up and, creeping as close to- gether as possible, try to sleep. But the pain In Iversen's leg is so great tbnt he cannot sleep. and he is half out of his mind. He wakes me at mid- ; night and begs me to go on. • - "It Is bitterly cold. and the wind has shifted so that it Is blowing in our • faces. Staggering unsteadily and feel- ing our way with our sticks, ofr we go lnto the darkness. "Finally, after another long march, W e sight a point that resembles 17 Kilometer Naessets and this time It is no trick of the imagination. The race la won, for at the point we find fuel end tins of soup and peas." The fina octal stat ement for the month of January, as issued on Friday by the Finance Department, is a record-break- ing one, with the record on the wrong side of the account. The difference be- tween falling revenues and increased ex- penditure was never more marked in the history of Canada. During the month the net debt of the Dominion incrsased by $10,821,765, and now stands at SSZ.14,- 383,87J. The ie ewe January de c eas d by nearly $2,0P,000, while expenditures increased by over $4,r00,000, as comp ared with January of last year. The de crease in customs revenue last mm th was a little over $2,000,0011, or nearly 25 per cent , and indications are that a monthly decrease will be the rule fo some time to come. ..e.d5L? 7r,^),, 6 1 Vutc..1, Asset: rA _ Workloi for Others THE man who looks into the future and pictures him- self the owner of a business, will live to learn that his visions will always be dreams unless his foresight has shown him the need of saving.
