TO REACH EXPLORERS

By Associated Press) ' - NOME, Sept. 22. The schooner Teddy Bear, which left here Aug. 18, with an expedition headed by Captain Joe Barnard to bring off the party sent by Vilhjalmur Stefansson under th- leadership of Allen Crawford, to Wrangell Island last year, was back here today with a propeller bent by the heavy ice in the Arctic ocean. The Teddy Bear reached Whalen, Siberia, but was unable to proceed to Wrangell Island because of the heavy ice. The Crawford expedition spent last winter on Wrangell Island, having gone there it is understood to run up the British flag. The party is said to have plenty of food for this winter. Whalen mentioned in the foregoing dispatch from Nome does not appear on several maps or in the gazetteer consulted.

In the United States during 1920 total of 10,323 deaths were the result of falls.
