THE KARA SEA.. STORY OF THIS YEAR'S

EXPEDITION.

Some interesting facts about the Kara. Sea Expedition organised by the Russian Tgude Delegation have been given a re- prezentative of Lloyd's List by, Cap- tain N. Mukalo, marinė surveyor, "of Old Broad-street, who was in charge of one di the ships forming the expedition.

Captain Mukaloff, who is a specialist in ies navigation," said "We left Eng, land on August 1st, the expedition con sisting of the Leunid Krussin, Trotsky, Jacor Sverdlov, and ireos. I was lá command of the Load Krtin, while Captain Nikolaieff was in general charge of the other vessels. The total quantity af the cargo we carried was 7,35 tons, comprising agricultural machinery, tools, typewriters, chemical and medical ap pliances, and so forth, of the value of The purchases were about 200,000. made for the most part i England, and were destined for Siberia.

The weather generally was favourable, except for a certain amount of snow and some fog, and there was a delay of twelve days in the Kara Sea, owing to the quantity of ice which we met with. We had the services of an ice-breaking steamer for reconnoitring purposes, and were also in wireless communication with the shore stations Some help, too, was given by aeroplanes, station having now been established for experimental work in a sheltered, spot on the coast of Nova Zembla

We discharged our cargo at the mouth of the Obi, and the other vessels pro- ceded a distance of about 150 miles alongs the Yenisei. The return cargoes consisted of timber, hides, tax, oil-cakes and other goods of the total value cor- responding to that which we had brought tons. Capt. T. Takechi, from Ham with us.

their friendliness seemed prompted in great interest in our movements, and part by their desire to be given some of the food and drink which we had on board, especially whisky and rum. We enjoyed a good deal of sport in the way of shooting, and replenished our applies of fresh meat with reindeer and with wild geese, ducks and other birds. We also shot a number of bears.

JOHN BULL

AT HOME.

[BY PRINCE ANDREW OF RUSSIA,

IN THE DAILY HAIL."]

I have wintered in many countries, but I think that for general eosinces and comfort the well appointed English home beats all the others. The only possible exception was the Russian home of pre Bolshevik times; for in our country. during the severe cold of winter months, one has to live a great deal indoors, and the

houses ure, therefore, adequately

equipped.

The heating system of some English houses is sometimes not quite as good na one would like, in view of the dampnesa and cold of the climate, but they a give one the impression of homeliness. The big open grates with their crackling fres, the soft easy chairs near by, are suggestive of long cosy evenings spent at the family hearth.

The Englishmen is a great explorer, a coloniser, a big game shooter, and d sportsman in general, but his love of home is also a predominant trait of his character, and it is during the winter months that one sees it best.
