within the Arctic circle, in the heart of Lapland wastes, the mystory of an Englishman's fate sixty years ago has been partially solved.

The Englishman, a man of means, with a few Lap- landers as companions, was trekking back to Norway when robbers attacked him, murdered the Laps, stole his money, stores and kit, but spared his life.

The story spread that the Englishman abandoned his trek, went to live the life of a hermit in a cave high up in the mountains fifty miles from the nearest village.

The Englishman became a legend-until one day recently a Laplander

told the sheelft of Waara-Grape in the Karesuando district that he had actually seen the Englishman in his mountain home.
