MAPS BARREN COASI American Explores Northern I Rim of the Continent Harold Noice, Accompanied Only by Eskimo*, Making Way Eastward on Foot. Seattle, Wash. —An American explorer. Harold Noice, formerly u uv’in- . tier of Stefnusson's party, is working ! his way eastward on foot along the route of the northern rim of the continent, according to word received here. He expects to reach the Hudson Bay country and civilization some , time next summer. i Storker Storkerson. formerly second in command of the Stefansson party, who arrived here recently from the far North, said that Noice, accompanied only by Eskimos, is proceeding slowly and mapping portions of the coast lines as he goes. A stretch of the coast line of Victoria Land, heretofore unmapped, is being charted by him. Noice may visit the interior of Victoria Land, which, according to all reports, has never been explored by white men. All explorers, traders and trappers who have touched Vic- j toria Land have Journeyed along its shores only. Stefansson found the tribe of “blond Eskimos” in the Victoria Land country. Noice has no ship and but feo supplies, He depends almost entirely upon his gun for his living. Stefansson, his former chief, who is noted among|explorers as being able to live , off the barren white lands of the North, probably taught Noice how to get about without carrying many sup plies. Noice’s parents live in Seatde. The explorer is young in years, having graduated from a high school here about eight years ago. He went North in 1912 with Capt. Louis Lane on the schooner Polar Bear. When Stefans son bought the Polar Bear from Lane N'oice shipped as a member of the crew. Later, when Stefansson decided to return to the outside world. Noice left the party and remained in the North. His parents expect him tc retort! to Seattle next year.

Several days ago he brushed ! the dirt away from one of the stalks “to see how the potatoes were doing," tnd mingled in with four fair-sized tu- i bers he found a quarter, exactly like I the “two bit" piece that Uncle Sam j coins.
