RACE MEETING, 1930.
22nd, 24th, 25th, 26th February and 1st March, 1930.
The 'planes were forced to land in unknown wastes, and the party was taken safety by a band of Eskimos, who had never seen a white man before.
A rescue party in 'planes, sent out by Western Canada Airways, which was sent out from Winnipeg, eventually located the lost ex- plorers, and brought them back to safety.
An abridged version of the story as printed in the Winnipeg paper is given below.
For centuries the Arctic wastes of North America have held in their grim grip many stirring stories of adventure and hardship. Explorers have from time to time sought to break the grip and unravel some of the mysteries, only to fail and thus add to those mysteries.
With the arrival in Winnipeg of Col. C. D. H. MacAlpine and his party of explorers and their rea- cuers, finis was written to one of ON SATURDAY, 22nd February thor h
