HAS JUST HEARD ; OF THE GnEAT WAR ARCTIC EXPLORER MARVELS AT A WORLD IN ARMS, Bernier's Polar Ship Huirired Shore ( i'4a> ii r<a?..>a? c..k tun iirtiuus; mi i?n iiuui c?umnuiriiie Exploits. Quebec. Oct. 19.?"It is impossible for me to describe my sensations when I learned that practically the whole world had become involved in war, although but a short year previous thoughts of such a war could hardly have been conceived," said Capt. Bernier, a Canadian polar explorer, who left for Baffin Land in July. 1914. and was cut ott from communicauon uum | August, 1915, when he heard for the first time that a conflict which involves almost e ery civilized nation was i;i progress. "I have been in all the European countries now engaged in destroying parh nrhpr." said CaDt. Bernier, "and though the feeling in 'France and Germany has been not altogether friendly, still I often thought that it was a needless expense for Germany to maintain such a large army and navy, as France and England seemed to be too busy to think about anything else than their social welfare. In so far as a war of aggression was concerned neither France nor England showed the least sign of preparations." lapt. vernier ieit nis nuie wna^c of Bemiera last August for Albert Harbor and there learned that war was in progress. News of the War. The schooner Albert, from Scotland was in port and from the crew's vivid description of the sinking of a ship at sea by a German submarine and the narration of their own ship's narrow escape the first details of the conflict were conveyed to the explorer's party. Capt. Munn of the Albert told the men of the outbreak of hostilities, the slaughter of the Belgians, the sinking of passenger boats at >ea and the terrific fighting in the Dardanelles. His stories were listened to with astonishment. "On our trip to Quebec,'' said Capr. Bernier. "we kept close to shore, but we only met one small fishing vessel. Is the war over yet?' we called out to them, but they evidently thought we wptp iokinz and locked scornfully at us without replying." Capt. Bernier had two moving picture operators with him on his >voy?ge. Both were Germans, Arthur Haack and Rudolphe Francke. Haack was lost in an Arcetic storm anu his body recovered some time afterward. It took three days to dig his grave, ?o hart was the ground after the winter's frost. Thp nhippts nf the r>icture< taken is to show that the land and rivers ol the far north are most valuable. "Some persons think that we have no summer in the Arctic," Capt. Bernier remarked. "That is a wrong" impression. About ten miles from camp i have what I call my summer home. No less than fifty species' of flowers blcom there during the summer. Tlie Sun's Holiday. "On February 2 or 3 we have what we call the 'sun holiday.' Every one, including the Eskimos, goes up to Salmon river and welcomes the brilliant orb. From the first of May until August 14 Old Sol never sets in our locality. .At midnight on August 14 the orb goes down and we then have its company only during the day until about November 9, when a period of twilight sets in until February 2 of the following year." nr.-- + + V> ^ 1 He CcipiiUli is eiiLuusia^Liv; uvci wcj splendid salmon and salmon trout to be found in northern streams. In a , short time at Salmon river he caught , over 2,900 of the specimen, only lack of facilities preventing him from more than doubling the catch. Hundreds of } beautiful skins were brought back on j his vessel, including a large number of j seal skins. < Speaking aoout the Stefansson expedition, Capt. Bernier said that there 3 had never been any need to worry ( about the safety of the explorer, as the ] nstivoe wnniri hp hound to take care I of the party. However, Capt. Bernier jr objects to statements that Stefansson < was the first to set foot on Banks Land, as the Canadian himself was the fjrst to reach that place about ten years ' ago. He made three expeditions there. The explorer is a member of the Arctic c-lub and will have some interesting data for its members the next time he is- in a- position to enjoy their society. At present he is busy pre-j < * ?~ A 14- ( paring a report oi ins uijj <t"u n, ? ? possible that he may .go on a lecture i tour. He has hundreds of splendid 1 photographs in addition to the moving ' pictures filmed on the trip. < Be sober, be vigilant; because your < adversary, the devil, as a roaring lion,! walketh about, seeking whom he may I devour.?New Testament. j 1 ?? rn1 f I ???
