her way north. They never dreamed
she would stop at Point Lay. but—
they had flung their little old
single-star flag to the breeze, just
as a friendly greeting to the only
thing they knew that represented
th United States Government. It
“got to” every blessed man aboard
the ship, and to the skipper more
than any one else, if his quick ac
tion constituted any criterion, for
he sent an honest-to-god “Stars
and Stripes” ashore to that bunch
of Point Lay natives and traded
’em, even up, for their dinky little
home-made emblem with its single
star. And when I accused him of
having a bit more sentiment than
he was willing to acknowledge, he
replied with characteristic brusque
ness:
••Hell! I wanted it for a souvenir” ;
—but he didn’t fool me for a little j
minute. We lay there all day and
far into the night until every ail- j

what we’ve GOT TO DO—and I

The Northland arrived at Point
Barrow Monday morning, July 28.,
in a burst of the most glorious sun

received such a hearty greeting
from Charles D. Brower, the ve

Barrow his home for nearly 50
years, and from Dr. and Mrs. Henry ,

however, and she made her exit

This record wouldn’t be complete
without some brief reference to the
highly interesting walrus hunt that
was planned by Captain Jones, first

second—for the pardonable pur
pose of enabling me to secure a
long-hoped-for trophy in the way
of a head and a good pair of tusks.
