ARCTIC GIVES
SEATTLE GIRL
MANY THRILLS
BUT FULL BATHTUB ON ARRIVAL
HOME PROVIDES BIGGEST
KICK OF ALL.
Civilization must .have its bath
tub!
Mi3s Alice Supplee, young Seattle
school teacher returned to the Spir
it City last week from the Arctic on
the adventurous Maid of Orleans, and
who holds the record of being the
white woman who has penetrated
farthest north, admitted that when
she disembarked for the first time
she told bits of the life she has led
for the last fifteen months, most of
the time frozen in within the Arctic
circle.
When I Got Home
“The first thing I did was to take
a bath.” She admitted it with laugh
ter, ‘and then I let the water run
and run—sheer music. Lack of wa
ter was the hardest thing, but I lik
ed the life. I may go back.”
School At Sea!
Alice Supplee left Seattle fifteen
months ago with Captain Klingen
berg, well known in Seward, and a
small crew, to go up into Victoria
Land, in the northeastern Arctic, to
teach Captain Klingenberg’s daugh
ters and native children and adults.
With her she took all the parapher
nalia of the public school; chalk,
blackboard, colored crayons, paints,
primers, first readers, colored pa
pers and in the tiny cabin of the
Maid of Orleans, frozen tight and
high in the ice 'in that sea of the
farthest north, two miles from a
mountainous shore, the first native
school within a radius of nearly 1,
000 miles was taught by the pretty
white girl still in her twenties.
“I had to translate cow into cari
bou, chickens into ptarmigan in
teaching them to read,” Miss Sup
plee explained. “They have never
seen a cow nor a chicken nor a
horse. They were bright and eager.
1 became very fond of them, and
they of me. And they are jolly
good company.
There’s Little To Do.
“But I got so fat,” she deplored.
“You have to get fat to keep warm,
and I’m still trying to get used to
shoes. For the whole time, except
on Christmas Day, I wore the na
tive clothes, a skin suit with the
fur next to my body, then a second
suit of fur trousers and boots and
arctics. How cold? I don’t know.
When it moderated to fifty below
we made toboggans and went coast
ing. The cold makes you ravenous
and sleepy; there’s little to do but
eat, sleep and read through the
long winter.”
As the only white woman in Vic
toria Land Miss Supplee was a
curiosity. The natives came for
miles to see her, touch her hair
and her skin, see her blue eyes.
Too Near Sights
“I didn’t find it the so-called ‘silent
north,’ rather it was a crashing north
with the snap and crackle of the au
rora borealis, the boom of the ice
splitting and coiloding, and the howl
and barking of the huskies and the
thin sharp cry—which sounded like
an icicle looks—of the little white
Arctic fox. I couldn’t see the colors
of the northern lights, we were too
close, lived fairly under them.”
Miss Supplee will tell more of her
life as the white woman
Miss Supplee told more of her life
in the Arctic to a meeting held by
the Presbyterian church.
“It was easy to slip into the na
tive way of living, I had to, to sur
vive,” she said.
