Robert Bartlett We newspapermen who were arolind at that time as well as a goodly number of other Prince Rupert people remember the visit of the! famous exploration schooner Effie M. Morrissey to this port bacl in 1927 when the vessel was on )er way to and from the Bering Sea; with the Stoll-McCracken expedition of the American Museum for, the Advancement of Natural History. The owner and skipper of the! Effie M. Morrissey was the celebrated Capt. "Bob" Bartlett, celebrated Arctic explorer, a jovial, rugged and ruddy mariner, who won many friends and admirers here as he stayed several days with his ship to outfit the vessel and take on the expedition which had come out from New York by rail. On Monday we recprded the death of "Bob" Bartlett; in New York and we felt in doing so we had lost an old friend for he was one of those personalities who readily endeared himself to those whom he met and we newspapermen saw a good deal of him during his stay. An inbred thirst for adventure led "Cap'n Bob" Bartlett to a life time of Arctic expeditions, the chief of which took him in support of Admiral Peary to within a few miles of the North Pole in 1909. Robert Abram Bartlett was his ful lname, but he was "Cap'n Bob" to those who sailed with him into the icefloes on his frequent voyages to the Far North and indeed to everybody he knew. He was skipper of the Roosevelt, the vessel on which Peary sailed for his epic discovery of the pole. Leaving the ship when ice floes blocked its northward progress, the commander went ahead on foot with a series of supporting parties, the last one commanded by Bartlett. Under this arrangement Bartlett had to turn back when only a few miles from the top of the world. Peary was criticized afterwards Life Insurance Since 1869 for not letting Bartlett share in completing the quest, but "Cap'n Bob" explained it never had been planned for him to make the complete trip. Made famous by his work with the Peary expedition, Bartlett in later years devoted his career to more than a score of expeditions to Greenland, usually in search of specimens for museums, but often as simply the leader of a boatload of students who paid fees for Arctic adventure under the tutelage of such ' a past master. Between voyages he found the lecture platform a suitable means of getting converts to his beloved far north. His six feet of lean strength backed up his often made contention that the Arctic, in spite of all tales to the contrary, was the healthiest place in the world. Bartlett set himself up as an Arctic specialist in 192G when he acquired the 120-ton schooner Effie M. Morrissey and in her took parties to Greenland and Alaska to study the flora and fauna there. She was a 20-year-old two-masted sealer and Bartlett said she had been built "by two old salts who didn't care how much time they wasted on her." His initial voyage in her, from Newfoundland 40 Staten Island where she was fitted with a 90 h.p. auxiliary engine, convinced Bartlett of her seaworthiness. Storms held her back until she was 10 days overdue at New York and she arrived with only one cask of drinking water left aboard. Thereafter, -Bartlett and his schooner were regular annual' visitors to the Arctic. A 1932 voyage was for the purpose of installing the Peary memorial in northern Greenland. Other voyages were on behalf of museums or with summer jaunts for students. Bartlett often expressed amazement at the popular idea that the Arctic was a hazardous place. "It seems funny people make such a fuss about a trip to the north, as if it were something terribly hazardous and full of strange hardships," he said. "It isn't. It can't he compared to what men go through who explore the tropics. "Those who come through the tropics alive usually are wrecked by fever, while look at us we come ' down from the Arctic in perfect health. We've had a fine time and it's good for us."
