CIGARETTES IN ARCTIC.
EXPERIENCE OF EXPLORERS. WOMAN WRITER TO THE RESCUE. Router. VANCOUVER. April 8. During the flight to Point Barrow, the farthest- north in Alaska, and back to Circle City, 150 miles from Fairbanks, tlio starting point, lack of cigarettes seems to have been the chief worry of Captain G. 11. Wilkins, leader of the trans-polar expedition, and his pilot, Lieutenant Eielson. They did not take any with them, as they expected to get some from Charles Brower, the veteran trapper at lSarrow, but the hitter's supply was exhausted. However, the men were not forced to go without cigarettes altogether, as a woman writer, Miss Wallace, who was wintering at Barrow, canio to their rescue.
