paring to start for the far north to

will be no race between the three ex-
peditions, only friendly rivahy. As
the three exieditions are taking
different routes, many hundred of

From Nome the.. Karluk will sail
for Point Barrow, the most northerly
point on the continent, where the ex
I' ditii.-u-will await, the arrival of the
other ship, iie-w being equipped for
! taking part in the voyage. It is ex
pected that the two ships will meet
at Point Barrow about August 1.
The 'subsequent plans depend entirely
npon meteorological conditions. Tf
an easterly';vind should prevail,' the
exieditiou will be able to sail around
the point without delay. But, if the
'wind should lie from the West, it is
likely that the ice would be packed
so tight that the two ships would have
to wait until January of next year

If the wind and weather conditions
should be favorable, the expedition
will reach Herschel Island in two
day:.' journey from Point Harrow.
Th'eia the expedition will be divided.
One nartv. under the command of Dr.
R. M. Anderson, will remain on the
island establish a base of supplies
and devote itself -to its task, the studyl
of the blond Eskimos, and the geol
ogical exploration of the island. The
pat tv will have at its service the
smaller of the two ships of the expe
dition, while Commander Stefansson
in the Karluk will push northward
in search of the unknown continent.
It will follow along the 14lst merid
ian, which divides Alaska from Can
ada. If there really is such a conti
nent, it is expected that it will be
reached within a days' sail, mis,
course, depends almost entiiely upon
the weather conditions. If Coromand
should find the conti-
