WHITE MAN'S FIRST VISIT,
An, entertaining lecture deliverest by Mr. Vilhjalmur Stofansson before the members of the Royal Geographical Society in the Theatre, Burlington- gardens, was descriptive of several years' experience of a young, bold, determined explorer of the northern coastline of Canada and its peoples, Mr. Stefansson started in April, 1008, from New York

The traveller purposely avoided imped ing bis progress by having to provide animals for a heavy buggage train, and in the many beautiful photographs shown of the tiny expedition there was never morg than one sledge and one dog team.
Mr. Stefansson, explained that a white man, with a modern rifle and 3 sufficient supply of ammunition, could go over the whole of the discovered land in the Arctic. His purpose was to discover Eskimos who had never seen a white man. When ho left the train and stage coach in the Athabasca Valley be travelled 2,000 miles in an open boat to the Mackenzie River, which empties itself in the Arctic Ocean. His most important work was done with out any supplies except photographic and writing materials and his rifle. When he got to the Arctic Ocean he had overlooked the important item of matches. He went to the North-West Mounted Police Station on Herschell Island to try to get some, but the commander of the post dis approved of his plan. of exploration,

happen to him if he went east he would become a charge on the Eskimos, or he should die of starvation, As the repre- sentative of the Canadian Government he did not wish either of those events to occur, and he therefore refused to soli ruatches.
400 MILES FOR MATCHES
That said Mr. Stefansson, compelled. him to proceed 400 miles westward to Point Barrow, making him lose a whole year and a half of the total cost of the expedition, during which he collected 40,000 specimens, was occasioned by that trip to purchase matches. He explored the Horton river. Before proceeding up that waterway be cut about 100lb. of ment from a whole which had been dead four years, intending to use it for dog meat, but he ran out of provisions and had to. cat it. People would say it must have been evil-smelling stuff, but it was too old for that. (Laughter.) It was like felt, with a bitter taste, (Laughter.) After mapping the Horton river he set out along the coast of the Arctic Ocean east of Cape Parry, to try and get hold of the Eskimos he was in search of before the missionary and the trader could, conta- rainate them. (Laughter.)
Some Eskimos who were with him built an ideal boat for exploration out of seal- skin stretched on a frame. It was very light, but of great strength. Two men could carry it, though it was efficient for a load of considerably over a ton. Dur- ing the whole of the trip be depended on the country for food, and he never went without a meal, although at one breakfast he had to divide a ptarmigan among four people. After a journey, of 200 miles east of Cape Parry into Victoria Land he found some old snow houses, but in the middle of Dolphin and Union Strait he came upon a villago inhabited by thirty- seven of the people he had set out to find. The Eskimos trested him hospitably, told him they would provide food, and furnished him with a new snow house, sking, and a lamp. On the fourth day the children began to cry for food, which
was scarce, and be decided to move on.
While Mr. Stefansson was in this dis trict he visited fourteen tribes, only four of whom had previously been seen by a white man. He spent a year with them, and of the 800 or 900 people he saw fully 50 per cent of the men had beards rang: ing in colour from shiny black to light brown, and quite 50 per cent. had blonde eyebrows, Some had light blue eyes and reddish boards. He thought these people were probably descendants of a flourish ing colony which existed in Greenland in the fifteenth century..
