Greenland, where we were P tting the planes ready for the flight to Labrador,” according to Lieut. Lowell S m it h, "was the moat re mote and the f a r th eat from civilization of any at the places visited on the way round the world. It lies at the head of a fjord and is surrounded by wild, rugged mountains. Our planes were beached right at the base of a cliff that rose sheer from the water’s edge to a hsinfht of 4,500 feet. Most of the time its summit was enveloped by clouds, but the face was absolutely smooth, as though polished by stone masons. "The peaks all around ua here at Ivigtut were coated with ice, and down all the valleys ran rivers of ice, awe inspiring glaciers from whose faces great chunks cracked off every few minutes and floated the fjord to Join the millons F- of icebergs in Davis strait. It was summer in Greenland and hundreds of cataracts and rills were tumbling down the steep mountain sides. The ground, wherever not coated with ice, was covered with a layer of moss from six inches to a foot in depth.

"Except for the few people who: mine cryollt the only men who ever visit Ivigtut. Greenland, are explorers on their wey to the Arctic ocean. The place consists of an Eskimo vll-| lage and a mining camp. So far as I know It Is the only place In the world] largo enough to make mining worth while. Cryollt is a scaly mineral made up of sodium and aluminum and each spring the Danish firm that has the mining concession sends up about three hundred husky men and supplies them with living quarters, clothing and foods, tobacco, and drink. They are unable to spend a single penny while in Greenland, so each miner goes back to Denmark In the autumn with a huge bank roll. Movies and Fishing, "Life gets a bit monotonous for these cryollt miners, so they were enormously pleased to see us and spent most of their spare time look ing over the planes. The first night after our arrival in Ivigtut the of ficers and crew of the Milwaukee in vited the whole Danish colony on board to supper. Afterwards movies were shown on deck. It rained during the performance, but the miners sat through the drizzle afid roared with laughter over the antics In the Amer ican comedy. "Next day while waiting for the weather to clear between Greenland and Labrador several of us went trout fishing. This was the first op portunity I had had of using the rod and line presented to me by the Post Intelligencer before we left Beattie. The fishing was marvelous. I initiated my Seattle rod by catching 4(1 trout in less than two hours. But the sail ors from the Milwaukee decided that hook and line were too slow, so they went up stream several miles and then waded back, driving the fish as they came. They had put a net in a pool and when they pulled it up they got nearly 500 trout at the final haul, most of them weighing from one to five pounds. "When we were down at Freder icksdal the Danish officers on the coast guard cutter the Island Falk had asked us to tell them the dates oil which we were born. We told them, but had no idea what their object was. The cutter came In to Ivigtut on the :8th, and as that happened to be 'Les' Arnold's birth day the captain of the Island Falk passed the word along to the miners on shore and a big party was given that night in honor of ‘Les.’ These Danes who are marooned in Green land take advantage of every oppor tunity to have a party. If a boat comes in every one ijults work and they have a celebration. If a boat goes out they do the same. A birthday also provides them with ample excuse to throw a party. Always Dodging lee.. "Wo were staying on hoard the cruiser and on our way ashore to attend the soiree our launch had to dodge In and out among the Icebergs. The previous night one of the launches collided with a berg on the way back from Ivigtut and the oc cupants got to the Milwaukee just about two minutes before she sank. "The night of the :9th we again at tended movies on the deck of the cruiser. The sky was perfectly clear and in addition to the show on the screen we had a marvelous exhibition of the northern lights. They flashed amt cracked across the sky in a weird, uncanny way. To attend an American movie by the light of the aurora borealis was surely a unique exper ience. And as we sat there on the deck of the cruiser, with irebergs drifting all around us, and with the peaks of Greenland's icy mountains lit up by the flashing northern lights, it seemed hard to realize that only a few weeks had passed since we sat underneath a tropic moon In a lagoon in far off Jndo-Chlna. "During the night of the 39th fair weather reports came by wireless front Labrador, so we were up at 4 and ready to leave at 5 o'clock. But I had a bit of trouble with the Chi cago and it was 8:30 before we finally got away from Ivigtut. Five miles nut over Davis strait we ran into a fog bank, but knowing the weather was clear in Labrador we figured ihat (he fog would not last long. In 15 minutes we were through it and had perfect weather most of the way. Ill and Out of Fog. Occasionally we wnuni pass tnrougn a bit of fog or a shower, but it never lasted more than a few minutes. When it was clear we could see the navy patrol boats for ’ll miles, al though they could never spot us until we were almost pn top of them. Out in the middle of the strait we ssw « destroyer way up ahead just, as it disappeared Into a fog. Ten minutes later we caught up with them and flew right alongside, within 10 feet of the bridge. The skipper was aston ished and when ws met him months later the first question he asked was how under the sun we had been able to find him in the fog bank. Ho had been puzzled over it all this time. “Two hundred miles off Labrador we nearly suffered the same fata as Wade and Ogden. Our motor-driven gasoline pump fulled, and five minutes later our wind driven pump also gave out on us. This left nothing but the 'wobble pump,’ which can only be manipulated by hand. From then on for nearly three hours 'Les' had to work frantically. It was a life or death matter and the physical strain was so great that he felt the effects In his arms for weeks after wards, and when we reached Labra dor he had to have medical attention. “Shortly hefore our pump trouble we passed a school of hundreds of whales. As wo drew near the coast of North America the first thing we saw was a giant Iceberg, the largest we had seen. An hour out from Icetlckle. Indian Harbor, we encountered a 40 mile wind that held us hack consider ably and made things harder for 'Les,' who was still working the hand pump. We reached Icetlckle after a flight across the open sea of 675 miles that had taken us six hours and 45 minutes.

To kill lime they had put a brass plate on i wall and Inscribed thereon that the American world fliers had first landed on the shores bt N’orth Amer ica on August 11. This had been done several weeks before we came in and they had simply guessed at Auguet 31, as the day they thought we ought to get In.

After all we had had gone through this looked comparatively easy." (Copyright, ^9Z1 1 | CHIROPRACTIC!
