TWELVE YEARS IN THE ARCTIC have made Father Bernard Hubbard, S.J., an authority on the Eskimos of Alaska. Geologist to the University of Santa Clara, Alaskan explorer, and missionary to the natives of the frozen North, he returned recently to New York after 18 months absence, during which time he made a 2000 mile ocean voyage along the Alaskan coast in a home-made walrus-hide canoe. Above are shown (left) a statue of Christ standing on the too of King Island looking out across the lonely Bering Sea, (inset) Father Hubbard, and (right) a typical woman and baby, with features of Mongol type. Father Hubbard believes them to have migrated from Siberia.
