of hurricane proportions forced her to seek shelter in the harbor of Arsuk, South Greenland, where she was frozen in and will probably remain imprisioned until May or June. Northern Hudson bay was the scene of the wreck last fall of the schooner JEANIE which carried a scientifi c expedition, headed by Prof. J. L. MacConn. He scientists, 16 in number, and the crew escaped, but lost their personal property. After they reached land and were supplied with food by Eskimos, a broken life boat was repaired and in this they made their way to Fullerton. Capt. Bartlett of the JEANIE is a brother of the commander of the Peary polar expedition. The whaling schooner A. T. GICORD,


HISTORY FROM THE PAST - Bangor Daily Commercial - Early 1900s September 29. – Portland, Maine, four-

which was in winter quarters at Fullerton took them to Fort Churchill, whence, on December 5, the party started through deep snow on foot for Norway House. They arrived here after a 1100 mile tramp in a temperature which registered at times 60 degrees below zero. The JEANIE was the vessel used by Harry Whitney of New Haven in his Arctic expedition. An unusual occurrence during a heavy


storm on November 21, was the death by drowning of Robert Tupper of Round Hill, N. S. Tupper and Miss Daisy Syde of Digby, N. S., had just been married and boarded the steamer YARMOUTH at St. John on their way to Digby. While Tupper was talking to a friend on deck a great sea swept the ship and carried him to his death, almost in sight of his bride. Dr. Wilfred Grenfell, the benefactor of


Labrador, fi gured in an inciden of the sea last fall. He discovered a sunken schooner, the LAVONIA, on the Labrador coast. He reported the wreck to the government, which, after investigating the case, arrested the owners and the captain for scuttling the craft.


The rescue of the crew of the Norwegian


bark PETRA wrecked near Cape Sambro, N. S., December 20, by two fi shermen of West Tennant, was one of the notable acts of heroism of the season. The rescuers were Ephraim Mariott and his son, Hiram. Some hope is still entertained that the


ten men who sailed from Bay of Islands, N. F., on the Gloucester schooner ELLA M. GOODWIN for home January 21 are safe. A vessel believed to be the GOODWIN was sighted in a dense ice fi eld in the northerly part of the Gulf of St. Lawrence several days after she sailed. If the GOODWIN is still afl oat she will not be released probably before April 15. As the men have a cargo of fi sh, and seals abound at this season, they would not starve. The Newfoundland sealing fl eet which left St. John’s March 18, on its annual hunt, will watch for the GOODWIN. Several of the sealing steamers are equipped with the wireless telegraph and can communicate with Cape Race or Cape Ray. The crew of the GOODWIN are mainly Nova Scotians. Among well known vessel whose


names disappeared from the marine register were the schooners MARCUS EDWARDS of Bangor, MOLLIE RHODES of Vinalhaven, Maine; S. A. FOWNES of Dorchester, N. B., PREFERENCE (British), FRANK T. STINSON of Portland, WILLIAM E. BOWEN, JR., of Bath, Cox & Green of Boston, fi ve-master H. J. LOGAN of Parrsboro, N. S., four-master J. C. STRAWBRIDGE of Boston, four- master WILLIAM B.
