Branch iTi fc'L. i- WS A PER That the officials of the Canadian Arctic exploration party, who are located at Collinson point, fear for the safety of Explorer Stefansson and his boat, the Karluk, which was last sighted off Flaxman island on August 14, is the news brought to Fairbanks by Captain C. T. Pedersen and Olaf Swenson, who reached here last night from the far North. The men state that it is possible that the Karluk has taken a different course from that usually lowed in the Arctic, and that it may be safe, but an extensive search has failed to disclose its whereabouts.

Captain Pedersen and Mr. Swenson have been on an extensive whaling and trading trip in the Arctic and are returning to the States to prepare for another voyage early next spring. Captain Pedersen was master of the schooner Elvira, which capsized off Humphrey point on September 23, after having been stuck in the ice for 20 days. Sta-ffting out from San Francisco on May 27, Captain Pedersen pushed through as quickly as possible and passed Point Barrow on July 23. He was bound for Banks Land, where he hoped to pick up a cargo of furs and whaleoil, but when he had reached a point a short distance east of 1 the boundary line the ice began to flow so heavily that he was unable to make any headway.

On September 3, the master of the schooner, realizing that he could not save the boat, ordered the crew ashore, while he and the engineer stood by the schooner until all hope was gone. In the meantime, the crew had taken part of the provisions from the schooner and stored them on the ice, from which place they were able to recover a portion of them after the boat sank. The cargo of furs, which included 762 white fox skills, 30 bear skins and many other valuable furs, as well as some ivory and whalebone, were all lost when the boat went down. The total loss of the cargo is approximately $18,000. The grub that had been stored on the ice was transferred to the steamer Polar Bear, and the members of the crew were all taken aboard the whaler Belvedere, upon which Mr.

Swenson had been plowing to the eastward. The Belvedere, which is a 440-foot steam whaler, is now safely quartered about 65 miles west of Herschel island, at a place called Icy Reef. The boat is one that is sent on annual trading expeditions along the Siberian coast and thence into the Arctic. This year she was carrying 200 tons of freight, for the Stefansson expedition, and the financiers of the expedition, Hibbard Stewart of Seattle, had hoped that it could make the round trip this season. Mr.

Swenson states that it has been customary for the Belvedere to make the trip north and back in one year, but that ice conditions were so bad this year that they had difficulty in getting the boat to a safe winter harbor. On the northward trip, the Belvedere passed the Mary Sachs and the Alaska, the two Stefansson boats, at Point Barrow, and had ex- jpected to overtake the Karluk in the i Arctic and transfer the freight which it was a i for the exploration party. From inquiries made among the natives, Captain S. F. Cottle and i Mr.

Swenson learned that the Kari luk had passed Flaxman island about August 14, going eastward, but that was the last information that could be obtained. After the Belvedere went into winter quarters at Icy Reef, Captain Bernard, of the Mary Sachs, R. M. Anderson, who is second to Stefansson in command and traveling on the Mary Sachs, together with Chipman and O'Neil, the scientific staff, crossed the 70- mile stretch lying between their boat and the Belvedere, with the hope of finding some information of Karluk, but i success. I Mr.

Swenson walked 65 miles to Her.schel island, i i that some news of the Karluk might be ob- tined there, but nothing had been seen or heard of the steamer. According to Captain Pedersen. who has had long experience in the Arctic, Captain Bartlett, who made the trip to the north pole with Peary, is master of the Karluk, and he took to an extremely northerly course after passing Point Barrow, although all other steamers keep as close to the shore as possible. The ice is always much heavier in the western Arctic than it is in the east, and it is feared that the master, who won fame in the dash to the pole, misjudged conditions. The returning traders state, however, that as the Stefansson party was seeking a northern land which is thought to exist, Captain Bartlett might have made a dash through the Arctic and landed in some safe port.

This is doubtful, however, and the majority of the whalers in the Arctic have given up hope of ever finding the missing ship. Starting on the trip for Fair- bnks, Captain Pedersen and Mr. Swenson left Icy Reef on October 21, and after pushing up the Turnei' river, crossed the divide and landed at what they think was the head of the Salmon river. They then portaged to Chandlar lake, from which place they followed the old Indian trail to Fort Yukon. From that point they went to Circle, and came to Fairbanks by the winter mail trail.

The men estimate that they traveled 630 miles in the trip from the Arctic, which would giive them a daily average of 25 miles a day, over a practically unbeaten trail. They expect to get away on the stage for the Outside morning, and Mr. Swenson will prepare another expedition for the annual cruise along the Siberian coast. Captain Pedersen is non-committal as to his future movements. Large Number of Criminal Cases Will Be Placed Before the Grand Jury for Investigation.
