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.
