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."

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 <
