^ ifey. The Associated
HALIFAX, j}'. S., The phantom
ship of the Arctic still sails the
northern ice- lames, guided pa-'t
unseen shoals as though by a
ghostly hand at her wheel' and
steering always toward some de
1 stination she never reaches.
Trapped in the ice floes oft the
far Alaskan coast, the derelict
Bayehimo has become one uf the
ghost ships of the sens. She has*,
been drifting now for throe years,
her staunch hull withstanding the
battering of the icp, .still as strong
as the day she broke her anchor
off Wainwright. Alaska, and drift
ed off into the northern mists.
lint, the valuable cargo of furs
1he Hudson Bay company steamer
carried then has almost wholly
disappeared—prey to venturesome
Eskimos and the two shiploads
of white persons who have sight
ed her in her wanderings. Isabel
Wylie Hutchinson, who collects
,.%t- Arctic specimens for two .English
Institutions, (was with one of these
two groups, the only white wo
man to board the derelict.
The little Scotswoman was in
Halifax on the way hack to Eng
land with botanical specimens and
Eskimo curios. And she told re
porters of her visit aboard the
Bayehimo when it loomed up 12
miles * off Wainwright—its* starting
point last summer. '
arias Tin t crimson was traveling
along the coast in the Beaufort
sea on the little schooner Trader,
manned by an Icelandic crew, rap
tain Peter Palsson steered a peri
lous course through the does to
file big steamer, lift* '1 almost
j fully out of the water by the
tightly packed ice.
Before this, another crew had
visited the Baychimo, and the
hulk had been stripped fhen of
every thing the visitors could
carry. The hold still contained
some caribou skins. , v
JTho riflhd hold, open to the
winds, held an odd assortment of
mineral ore, typewriters, curios,
writing miper and Htldson Hay
company ledgers. A pair of rust
.(Ml handcuffs lay on the- hatch.
It was several days later that
those on the Trader sighted the
Bajchimo again. Far off on the
edge of a glittering ice pack they
saw the phantom ship reflected
in a mirage. She was steering at
a 'good live miles an hour past
-llie.,-jOiqbIs and ice that held the
Trader, heading toward Point Har
row with the pack.
"You’d think”, said Captain
I’ete "that someone was steering
tier. I guess She's haunted. She
steers clear of the shoals as if
a master hand was at her wheel."
The Trader stayed trapped in
the ice 15 days as the Bay chime
sailed on to her wHl-o’-th e-wisp
destination.
A method has been developed
far treating mineral oils where
by their film strength is increas
ed m to 65 percent and they
cling' closer to surfaces they lub
ricate.
A German government commis
sion lias planned the construction
,1 the hear future of 16.600 hous
es in tile suburbs of industrial
cities for unemployed factory
i workers.
A California inventor ha* ob
’ a i tied a patent for a wingless
airplane having motors and pro
pellers inside tubes that can be
turned to lift the craft from the
ground.
Three steel bridges have been
built by a British - railway with
out bolts or rivets, the parts hav
ing been electrically welded, and
three frtore are under construction.
Speaking tubes have been in
vented for the British navy that1
have both ear and mouthpieces;
providing for two-way conversa

They went adrift on the Ice while
crossing the bay from King Sal

to Hamilton, Montana for a visit.
Indignantly denied that she had
any thought cf taking a- stuffed
whale back to the home folks to

creature, Mrs. Boueher already
knew, but when she observed a
160-ton monster being towed into

to say the least. While In SewaVd
on her way south, Mrs. Boucher
proudly displayed souvenirs of her
stay In Port Hobron. Whale teeth
of all sizes,-whale ear drums,
and Huge' barnacles that fasten

The following letter was written

several years ago, was employee

to hear’ nerj’jji. of him/Following Is
the letter:
Dear Ernie:
Had a. letter from Frank Haz
ier the cither day anil he sold
you were outside and bad asked
about me.
Eva rath"r neglected old friends
sitr ■ coming outside, as I've had
my share of trdmbles, and ns J
always figure everyone else has
enough of their own, I don't like
to bother them with mine.
I've been laid np a good share
of the time and am now in the
Veteran's Hospital. It took all I
could make to keep in halfway
decent condition and dually got
ahead of me and I had to came on
here, vmr set' trie ffoVeriimciir“ao'e9
n't give you any care unless you
practically sign a pauper’s oath.
They have" done me a lot of
good here though. They have
weaned me ofT of the Insulin, sev
eral months now since I have, h^d
•any, and—are- keeping me -■snger
free on a diet. It's rather a slim
one, just about sustaining. They
have some way of stimulating the
action of the pancreas, which Is
the cause of all the trouble, and
the doctors here tell mo that af
ter they get through with me, T
should be able to keep In pretty
fair shape, without the use of
Insulin. The Insulin Is worse than
the diabetes. In lots of cases.
How are things around Nome?
Everything is going along In the
usual channels, I suppoeo.
. Frank said Tom Hyle was out
side too, first time In 4 0 years.
Quite an adventure. for him, I
guess. .
I expect I’ll be here for a
couple of mornths yet, and will
then have to get out and 'try to
get on my feet again. I hope to
he able to pome back to Ailaska
again. I enjoyed the years up there
more than any in mv life.
I expect the depression was fin*
ally felt up north. It sure was
tough outside here, although I
can’t complain. I got through so
far pretty well, even with sick
ness, until I earne here.
They give na dandy care, bnt
of course ootnpensatlon was
cut off last; July. Even the boys
Taunged up/durlng the war have
bad their pensions reduced to al
most nothing.
Say hello to the Kinneys and
all the rest of my friends In
Nome.
