this month, this winter will be
a short one for here December
has arrived and but a handfull
of snow about. But don't brag!

STRANDED PARTY WANDERED
TWO MONTHS BEFORE ES
KIMOS RESCUED
CRANBERRY PORTAGE, Man.,
Dec., 3, (/P)—Three months after
their rescue by Eskimos near the
Arctic Circle two of the seven
members of the MacAlpine ex- j
ploration party, reached civiliza- j
tion. The others are still await- j
ing favorable flying conditions so
that they may be brought out.
The two men who arrived here
are Don Goodwin, of Hamilton, j
Ont., the mechanician of the ex
pedition who is suffering badly
from frozen feet; and Richard
Pearce, editor of the Northern
Miner, of Toronto
With them in the plane were
four members of the rescue party
who had gone to the aid of the
stranded men. The exploration
party wandered for two months s
in the Northland after their two (J
planes had been forced down on j {
account of lack of fuel. They -
were finally found by Eskimos.
“HOT DOG!”
With all due respect to a sub
scriber out Westward who kindly
sent in a bunch of news items f
for publicaton, (none will ever '
see the light of day) if the Gate- ^
way printed them two or three \
people out there would fill the ;
editor’s hide full of lead. Males >
will get a wallcp out of it should j.
they care to read it at the offic°. j'
It may be sent to Captain Billy, i
Perhaps he will take a chance. !;
