PERILOUS
CANOE
TRIP
Thursday,
Sept.
11,
1930
Today
we
are
publishing
a
story
of
the
longest
canoe
,
trip
on
record
made
by
four
Canadian
young
men
who
were
born
and
bred
on
farms
in
Saskatchewan.
They
set
out
in
the
spirit
of
adventure
to
learn
something
of
their
own
country.
They
have
been
keen
students
everywhere
they
went,
have
fought
their
way
through
difficulties,
!
have
triumphed
where
others
might
have
failed
and
have
proved
that
CnaduuiJR&n
are
equal
tp
any
in
endurance,
skill
and
adaptability.
'
i
We
reeret
that
it
is
impossible
to
tell
more
of
their
en-
trancingly
interesting
story.
Space
forbids
recording
much
that
is
of
interest.
They
are
unassuming
young
men,
Keen
on
their
hobby
which
they
had
planned
for
years
before
setting
out.
An
interesting
feature
of
the
trip
is
the
fact
that
their
fellows
in
their
home
village
laughed
at
the
idea,
ridiculed
it
and
prophesied
that
it
could
not
be
done.
They
have
shown
those
prophesies
to
be
false.
If
they
get
through
safely
to
Panama
they
will
be
in
a
position
to
write
a
book
about
their
adventures
and
possibly
to
go
on
the
lecture
platform
if
such
should
appeal
to
them.
They
have
taken
numerous
pictures
of
the
hazards,
the
game,
the
life,
the
natives
and
the
beautiful
scenery.
Those
attest
the
truth
of
their
narrative.
We
suggetthat
everyone
read
the
story
published
today
for
it
is
aWntdrstinjj
one.
WHAT
TO
ADVERTISE
When
advertising,
it
is
necessary
to
success
that
a
person
advertise
something
that
people
want.
In
the
Daily
News
classified
columns
there
are
various
things
asked
for.
Many
people
ask
for
that
which
is
not
available
and
they
get
no
replies
or
very
few
to
their
advertisements.
Possibly
the
most
productive
of
results
is
an
advertisement
offering
second
hand
furniture
for
sale.
There
seem
to
be
many
waiting
to
buy.
-
a
'
Reading
the
classified
advertisements
has
become
a
habit
with
many
people.
They
look
them
over
because
pf
their
human
interest.
That
is
why
the
small
classifieds
are
productive
of
such
good
results.

to

and
from
Dundas
to
Banks

Frederick
Island
and
Hippo
with
great
efficiency.
The
averase
weight
of
these
creatures
is
about
2.000
pounds
and
must
require
a
ration
of
at
leas'
SO
pounds
of
fish
per
day
averaging

at

and
my
estimate
of
fifty

not

Detail
of
Trip
j
Telling
some
of
the
details
of
the
trip
the
boys
said
they
left
Waterways
on
May
16,
IMS,
went
up
the
Clearwater
to
Athabasca
Lake.
Here
their
troubles
began.
The
lake
was
filled
with
Ice
and
sand
bads
and
they
stuck
in
the
ice
and
found
it
I
impossible
to
find
their
way
back!
among
the
bars.
Finally
they
made
an
island
and
spent
several
days:
while
the
ice
receded.
Oreat
Slave
Lake
was
almost
viuhiij
wcv.
v
stw&v
ls-
j
ried
by
trie
wind
would
gradually
close
in
on
the
shore
crushing
ev-
erything
in
their
path
and
shoving
tne
ice
hundreds
of
feet
up
the
beach.
Their
chief
effort
was
to
avoid
the
ice.
Then
came
the
great
Mackenzie
with
its
rapids
to
them
unknown,
j
They
ran
them
all,
even
the
Ram-
j
parts
where
the
river
steamers
have
to
use
a
cableto
haul
themselves
up
against
the
stream.
They
inspected
j
the
oil
wells
at
Fort
Norman,
cap-,
ped
by
the
Imperial
Oil
Co.,
but
ready
at
any
time
to
be
put
Into
production.
They
saw
the
burning
coal
mine
on
the
banks
of
the
river
which
is
said
to
have
been
burning
when
Mackenzie
discovered
the
river.
It
Is,
slowly
burning
its
way
into'
the
banks
and
glows
red
at
night.
They
learned
to
catch
the
big
"Aconie,"
a
white
fish
about
the
size
of
a
salmon,
and
finally
arrived
at
Aklavik
at
the
Delta
pf
the
river
where
they
made
their
headquarters
during
July
and.
August,
visiting
the
shores
of
the
Arctic,
and
cruising
around,
mixing
with
the
Eskimos,
Indians
and
whites
of
that
great
but
little
known
region.
"It
is
not
cold
at
the
Arctic,"
declared
the
travellers.
"It
seldom
gets
colder
than
20
below
zero
on
the
shore.
The
coldest
part
is
the
great
lake
region
far
to
the
south.
It
was
cold
where
we.
wintered
in
the
mountains,
going
as
far
as
70
below
zero
at
times."
They
were
surprised
at
the
Es
kimos.
Many
of
them
were
six
feet
tall,
heavy-built
good
naturedi
people,
reliable,
prosperous
and
hospitable.
Most
of
them
owned
their
own
schooners
and
their
ere-
i
dlt
was
always
good
with
the
trad-;
ers.
"While
we
were
at
Aklavik
60
1
or
70
schooners
were
moored
there
at
one
time
and
there
were
liter-1
ally
thousands
of
dogs,
savage!
brutes,
descendants
of
the
Arctic
wolves,
void
of
fear
or
affection,
I
savage
and
mean.
It
was
the
law
there
that
these
dogs
have
to
bej
tied
during
summer
as
they
have
j
caused
the
death
of
a
number
of
i
people,
children
and
grown-ups.
We
bought
a
team,"
said
Victor.
"And
were
attacked
ty
them
on
several
occasions.
They
were
the
meanest
dogs
I
have
ever
known."
"The
people
at
the
Mackenzie
Delta
make
their
living
mostly
from
rats.
It
Is
one
of
the
beat
rat
districts
in
the
world.
While
the
people
kill
foxes,
wolves
and
other
fur-
bearing
animals,
rats
are
the
staple.
Birds
are
plentiful,
much
ftie
same
birds
found
on
this
coast
There
were
plenty
of
ducks
and
geese,
sea
gulls
and
various
divers,
as
well
as
the
smaller
birds
of
the
south.
We
enjoyed
our
visit
to
Aklavik
very
much."
"In
order
to
study
conditions
in
the
country,
we
decided
to
winter
there
and
chose
for
ourselves
the
least
known
section
for
winter
quarters.
We
took
a
boat
as
well
as
the
canoe
In
order
to
carry
the
dog
team
and
sled
and,
with
an
outboard
motor,
started
up
the
Peel
River
to
the
Snake
where
we
built
our
cabin
and
planned
to
stay
but
there-was
,no
game
so
we
had
to
move.Two
of
us
set
out
with
the
dog
team
and
travelled
three
days
and
nights
with
nothing
to
eat.
The
dogs
gave
up
and
refused
to
go
any
further
and
one
died.
So
we
left
the
toboggan
and
pushed
on
and
finally
reached
camp
very
exhausted
and
without
success
In
securing
food."
Another
expedition
was
more
successful.
Pulling
the
sled
themselves
they
found
tracks
of
five
moose
and
followed
them
three
days,
finally
killing
three
and
taking
back
to
camp
meat
for
men
and
dogs.

Victor
told
of
being
out
alone
on
a
frozen
lake
when
he
was

by
huge
timber
wolves.
He
shot
several
and
the

then

off.

trapped
all

and
returned
to

last

with
plenty
of
experience
and
several

dollars
to
the
good.
It
Is

to

all
the
adventures
they
had.
Getting
over
the
divide
was
difficult
for
the
Rat
River
was
small
and
rapid
and
the
boys
had
to
wade
day

day
in
the
intensely
cold
water
and
then
the
worst
was
over,
although
there
were
still
adventures
and
things
of
intense

see.

The
canoe
rode
the
big
rollers
from
the
Pacific
well
but
their
stomachs
revolted
so
they
laid
up
for
three
days
in
a
