VILHJALMUR STEFANSSON
So much of daring, of peril and of
all the elements of adventure is
Island up In the career of Vilhjalmur
Stofansson, as an explorer, that al
though he has frequently been heard
from during the five and one-half
years embraced in his latest wander
ings in the Arctic regions, the story
of his experience and discoveries,
which presently he will lie telling on
the lecture platform, will have suf
nn rliMmnnt S?lnfjiimmiii hppn
one of the most assiduous of Arctic
explorers. The quest of the North
I’ole ho left to others For him the
great white region of the silent North
contained many things of interest
other than the I’ole, and he has found
most of them. He is hack on his na
tive Canadian soil once more, report
ing, along willi other things, that the
principal reason why he has not con
tinned to chronicle the discovery of
new lands during the latter part of
his journey is that there is no new
land to lie discovered in lhal quarter
of tlie globe.
The record of the five and one-half
years shows that he found land which
had never before been seen by any
while explorer; that he found hitherto
unknown currents, the discovery oi
which was more important than the
finding of new land; that he rediir
the non-existence of a new continent
to a certainty; that instead he was
aide to define two islands with a total
of 30,01)0 square miles; that on these
arc coal deposits as accessible as the
Spitzborgen coal fields, and that he
| came upon and located valuable cop
5 per deposits.
His discoveries are the property of
the Dominion government, under the
auspices of which his expedition was
organized and financed. Few among
the many expeditions outfitted for the
far North created more interest than
tills. Stefansson had been interesting
the whole world over the results of a
previous trip when the latest was un
dertaken, For one thing he had found
a blonde race of Ksklmos, and that
fact gave riso to no end of learned
discussion among ethnologists. In a
letter dated “Mouth of the Dense
Itlver, October 18, 1910," he had writ
ten:
"It doesn’t look on the map that
we have done much; we have had
predecessors In Dolphin and the Union
straits—ours is merely the lirsi win
ter Journey and the iirst land jour
ney. Ethnologlcally, we have dono
something, however, and geograph
I sally, too, lor we hare discovered
I people in a legion supposcii ■, I ' ,.u

did not even Know I was not all i.s j
kimo—bo little were they informed
oil what white men are like. We have
discovered Eskimo fia speech and
uubilsj who are Scandinavians in up
pearanci
This discovery, lie held, meant the
beginning of the solution of one of
two- piVBlems, namely, What became
of Franklin's men? and What became
ol tile ii.uoo Scandinavians who dis
appeared from Greenland in the iil
leenth century?
Returning from this expedition, i
Stefanssou found civilization more
than ready to give an attentive hear
ing to an elaboration of facts dealt
with only briefly in his occasional bul
letins, and the thinking world had not
ceased to dwell upon the strange
tilings he had been telling belore lie
was off again, lie hud gone, tills time, j
so it was understood, in search of a
continent, and it was understood that
lie would return in three years, in
both cases plans went uglcy. There
were experiences that could not only
have been reckoned upon in advance.
The Arctic is full ul such. The Kar
luk was lost, and tile party it carried
into the North was separated. Captain
Bartlett and eight others were res
cued. Stefansson was missing for a
considerable time, but events justified
Bartlett's prediction that he would
"turn up.'' He did turn up, but he
j would not give up. and although tin
loss of the Karluk meant a delay of
11 wo years in the accomplishment of
jliis purpose, he continued his work
ol exploration.
Vilhjamur Stefansson, nuiwithstund
ing the spelling of his name and the
accents that go with it, is, to use a
term ol (he times, a loo-per-cent ( a
aadian, too all intents and purposes.
He i> a native of Manitoba, and is
of belaudie descent. Beginning bis
active career on a farm, he hungered
and thirsted for schooling. He got
enough to start w ith in Manitoba, and
more at the state university ol North
Dakota, where he earned the A 11.
degree. The finishing touches, how
ever, were given by Harvard, and
these enabled him to obtain a place
in an archaeological expedition to Ice
land in 11105. This trip marked the
beginning of bis longings for the
North, and during all the years since
then he hus either been moving among
the Arctic silences, seeing what he
could see, or writing or lecturing in
structively and interestingly on the
things he has seen.
He is one of tho most pleasing
speakers whom the field of Arctic
research hus given to the modern
world. Thousands of people flock to
hear him everywhere, not only for
what he has to tell them, but because
of the way ho has of telling what they
wish to hear,—Christian Science Mon
