Is the general impression that the resistance of the enemy everywhere is stiffening.

In retreating the enemy have re sorted to every Means to de Lay the bringing up of the Allied artillery but without effect. At the present time however the allies Are not hampered in. Ithe least for the germans were put to such hurried flight that they had Little time to take their artillery and vast stores of ammunition with them. These fell into the hands of the allies and the guns were promptly turned around and shells made in Germany were sent eastward a fast As they could be fired against their original owners.

The actual patrol comprised inspector French and sergeant major caulking with police natives Joe by and i Sciukas a a. And Aning at two White men and four esl Omos. The actual Dis Tance travelled by that patrol in the dead of Winter because the dogs could not travel the summer and at All times far and away from any base of Supply was Miles. The patrol carried a.

But the patrol has established be by orid peradventure that the murder was committed under severe Provo cation if not in self defence and that further prosecution is not necessary. And the White mans Law has been car red further than Ever before. The Royal North West mounted police has once vindicated its boast that no crime shall occur within its jurisdiction which shall pass wit Hou.

The patrol left for Chesterfield Inlet. On Wilarch 31. 1917 we left Baiker Lake Headquarters for the Arctic coast having with us As interpreter a Hudson Bay but being unable to secure guides As we could not induce any of the natives to venture into the sound re of the Savage natives of the Arctic coast. Having Lett Shultz we found ourselves in a. Strange country which none of us knew and Ere forced to travel toy Compass m a temperature of 45 below Zero. Later we ran into foggy weather Aiice into a country where local conditions affected the Compass so that it was useless. Finally we reached the tic coast just to the West of the of the Ellis River and Queen. Maud sea May 7. 1917. It was then 35 be Low Zero and an Northeast Bliz Zard was Bio Wing.

Acne of the band had Ever seen White men before. The were armed with arrows and Spears and were the most primitive natives i. Have Eter seen. They were. However Friendly and very curious and acted like overgrown children but some of their customs were horribly d is ustian and in fact repulsive. From this Point we traversed Down to Bathurst Inlet and round there we met Many bands of the Ivil Ishiko and tribes and we started to make investigations and to take evidence from Eye witnesses of he murder of Radford and Street. We obtained from one of these eskimos Radford s journal of scientific notes together with sketches of some of his discoveries and explorations of certain Rivers hitherto unknown. Known to the natives As qua jute to where Radford and Street met their deaths. We examined the ground carefully and tried to find the re Mains so that we might give them decent burial but nothing could be discovered and it was generally presumed that the bodies had been car ried out to sea at High tide and committed to the deep. Brutal treatment caused tragedy from of the Mur Der we obtained information which was to the effect that Radford s brutal treatment of the natives was the cause of the tragedy.

The weather was Good for fishing on the Pacific coast but the Salmon catch fell Short of that for september of the preceding year by cats the run of Sockeye in the Fraser River District was Small but other varieties were fairly abundant. Good catches of pilchards were made on the West coast of Vancouver Island. Many Miles to the North and South. American troops participating in the action crossed the canal under heavy fire.
