Does Backache
Worry You?
Many who suffer with backache and
weak kidneys are unnaturally irritable
and fretful. Bad kidneys fail to elim-
inate all the uric acid from the sys-
tem, keeping you "on edge" and caus-
ing rheumatic, neuralgia pains.
When your 1 ck aches, and you notice
signs of bladder irregularities, suspect
your kidneys and begin using Doan's
Kidney Fills, the best recommended
special kidney remedy.

The Right of the Strong.
Three-year-old George and his sis-
ter, slightly older, were having a tete-
a-tete luncheon. "Why," she demand-
ed, "do you take the last ginger-snap,
when you’ve had two and I haven’t
had any?" The young philosopher
pondered for a moment, then conde-
scended to elucidate.
"Because," he said, kindly, "I’m a
boy and you’re a girl.”
RCTIC literature has always had a
fascination for me, and it has long
been my ambition to see something
of the great frozen North; but, with
the exception of a visit to Spitzber-
gen In 1902, when 1 went as far as
Amsterdam Island and wag stopped
by ice, I have not been able to grati-
fy my wish. In 1910 I visited Ice-
land. I find that when one has been
to that country it is always assumed
that one must have been Reyklavik
and the Geysirs. But Reyklavik and the Geysirs
had no attractions for me. as I was anxious to visit
less well-known parts. The north and east coasts
of Iceland and the l&land of Grimsey were the ob-
ject of my voyage
Grimsey lies thirty miles north of the north coast
of Iceland, and is just within the Arctic circle. It
has about seventy inhabitants, who, with the excep-
tion of the pastor, live in turf huts. There is a very
small wooden church, across the Interior of which
a large beam supports
the walls some two or
three feet above the
pulpit. If the pastor
stands upright the
beam must come Im-
mediately In front of
his face, and I regret
that I was unable to
attend a service to see
how the difficulty was
solved. The island is
best known as the
onl: breeding place in
Europe of the little
auk. I was told that
the inhabitants are
noted chess players,
and are sent to play
In tournaments far
from their own home.
As an island of chess
players. Grimsey may
continue to be far
famed, but as the
home of the little auk
I fear it is doomed.

STOS& Of Tt&llffU; AVK. GRPT&&V
During my visits I never saw more than a dozen
of these interesting little birds. Their breeding-
places are among the boulders on the most acces-
sible parts of the shore, and an egg collect t - ho
has lived a great number of years at Akureyri
(the principal port on the north coast of Iceland!
boasted to me that there were no little auks left
breeding in Grimsey, as he had taken every er«r
Fortunately, a few1 have escaped him, but tlie
birds have evidently enormously decreased since
the island was visited by Hantsch, the German
naturalist.
Snow buntings, in their beautiful black and
white summer plumage, were the commonest
birds round the huts. Red-necked phalaropes.
purple sandpipers, meadow pipits and ringed plo-
vers were very abundant. Eider ducks nest all
round the dwelling houses, and are so tame that
the Islanders stroke them when sitting on their
eggs, r
The commonest of the cliff breeders are the
fulmars, puffins, klttlwakes, razorbills, and Brun-
nich's guillemots, grey phalaropes. wheat ears,
white wagtails, ravens and other birds are seen
In smaller numbers. About three hundred and
ten miles N.N.E. of Iceland and two hundred and
forty miles from the coast of Greenland, lies the
Island of Jan Mayen. I had read about It in
various vooks of Arctic travels, and in 1910 sug-
gested haiJ Jokingly to my captain that I should
like to go there. As the construction of my
yacht is not adapted for encountering ice, he
treated my suggestion even less seriously than
I had hoped, and for the time being I had to
agree. However, the thought that I had been
within twenty-six hours of that coveted goal lay
at the back of my second visit to Iceland the
following year, though I did not mention it until
I saw what the weather was like at Grimsey. 1
took the precaution of providing myself with the
Austrian chart of Jan Mayen, which I knew my
captain would consider unnecessary. Owing to
bad weather, I had to wait some time at Akureyri
(North Iceland) before I could go over to Grim-
sey, and durim this time a naval lieutenant, who
had been with the ill-fated Mikkelsen expedition
to Greenland, came to call upon me. T’nfortunat-
ly, I was not on board, and he interviewed the
captain instead. He told him that ice had been
seen off Grimsey four days before our arrival,
and. of course, scorned the Idea of our going to
Jan Mayen. The prospect did not seem hopeful,
but as the ice was so near I told my captain that
I should like to go and see it. and turn round as
soon as we met with it. As we had perpetual
daylight this suggestion found favor. We went
over to Grimsey, where the inhabitants only con-
firmed what we had already heard, and expected
we should meet with ice about forty miles north
of the island. At 6 a in on July 29th we weighed
wwZ’S An’QtQRfDMfA mazr/rs &tt3?enr
anchor, and steamed away In pursuit of the Ice,
but I stipulated that our course should lie
straight In the direction of Jan Mayen. The
weather was bright and clear, and at 8 a. m. we
sighted a distant Iceberg between ourselves and
the Greenland coast- At 11 a. m. there was no
other sign of ice, though we had come over fifty
miles. Birds were very scarce, generally only
one or two fulmars were in sight, and I had seen
two guillemots, two Arctic skua, and a few puf-
fins. At 2 p. m. we had steamed eighty-five miles.
No ice had been seen, and only a few fulmars
and klttlwakes came within sight of the yacht.
7:20 p. m. Log 148 miles. A northerly breeze
sprung up, and the temperature of the water w-as
40 degrees. It had been 42 degrees two hours
earlier. I had only seen one Razorbill in the
afternoon and a few fulmars and kittiwakes.
9:15 p. m. Log 180 miles. Very clear weather.
The sun set at about 11:15 p. m. The wind was
westerly, and as there was a very heavy swell,
little sleep was to be had Bright sunshine
cheered me when I looked out in the early hours
of the following morning. There was no sign of
ice, and evidently none had been seen, or I should
have heard of it. I knew that Jan Mayen could
not be far off. At 7:15 a. m. I again looked out,
and saw a dim outline of cliffs ahead, lost above
in mist and cloud. Great numbers of Brunnich's
guillemots, fulmars and a few kittiwakes w’ere
flying round, a sure sign of the proximity of land.
The thermometer on deck registered 45 degrees
Fahrenheit and the log 290 miles. Gradually the
beautiful snow-covered volcano. Beerenberg. ap-
peared above the cloud. All below was shrouded
In mist, except just above sea level, where one
could trace the dim outline of land. As we ap
proached, a long, low-lying peninsula stretched
out to the southwest, and as the mist cleared off
and opened up the high cliffs in front of us,
we could see that the tops were covered with
vegetation, and snow lay only in patches in the
deep ravines. The whole island is apparently
studded with craters, and the tops of the cliffs
form huge rugged basins. The cliffs are a curi-
ous rusty red colpr (suggestive of iron) mixed
with the black lava. I am not sure whether it
was only the sight of them which frightened my
captain, but, at all events, he believed his com-
passes to be affected, and was not enjoying him-
self as much as I was. Along the short was a
line of broken ice. The temperature of the water
at 9 a m. was 41 degrees and at 10:50 a m. 56
degrees. As we steamed along from South Cape
to South East Cape we saw that Beerenberg.
which at first appeared part of the cliffs in front
of us, was separated from them by a low stretch
of land, one mile and a half wide, and apparently
little above sea level. Had there been no surf,
It looked an easy place to land, but under the
circumstances it was impossible. By the time
we reached this Isthmus the whole Island was
clear, except for a few fleecy clouds over the
southern end. Leaving the Isthmus behind us.
we passed the remarkable crater. Egg Bluff,
once, I believe, an island, but now* apparently
connected with the shore. One side of it has
been W’orn away by the sea. It Is 600 feet high,
and from its Inner wall steam is said to be al-
ways rising.
It was the warmest day we had had since leav-
ing England, and I spent the whole morning on
the bridge without a coat. Shortly after passing
Egg Bluff, we steamed under Beerenben: which,
on thiw glorious, cloudless day. was dazzling In
its snowy whiteness. At noon the thermometer
registered 40 degrees, the temperature of the wa-
ter 87 degrees, and
there was a fresh,
northwesterly breeze-
“We continued our voy-
age round the east
coast, and here the
sea was so calm that
we went fairly close in
shore, as It seemed
probable that I could
land. We stopped in
sixteen fathoms of wa-
ter, nearly a inlle from
the shore, and had It been good holding ground
It might have been possible to anchor, but as we
were right in front of the Wille glacier, which
comes down to the sea, it was doubtful what the
bottom would be like, and in any case it would
have been unwise for us to do so.
The cliffs on this coast are very precipitous,
and, could I have landed, it would only have
been possible to walk about half a mile^ilong
tho narrow strip of beach. As it was, wfe round,
as we approached It in the dingliey, that there
was too much surf to allow of our attempting it.
and I had to content myself with rowing along
within a few yards of the shore. Floating ice
stopped us In one direction, and heavy surf in
the other. Numbers of glaucous gulls were sit-
ting above high-water mark, and of course were
very tame. Hundreds of Brunnich’s guillemots
and fulmars flew around us, and 1 saw one black
guillemot, probably lT. mandti. Not until I tired
my gun had I any idea of the number of birds
on the cliff above me. Probably owing to the
nature of the Boil, and the fact that the lava
slopes are less precipitous than the granite cliffs
where sea fowl generally congregate, the usual
evidences of a great breeding resort were absent.
Tho glaciers are not as tine th<*r as In Spits-
bergen, as they are covered with lava dust, and
the wonderful blue ire, which is so characteristic
of that country, ts absent. Neither are the tops
of the mountains so jagged, and I cannot agree
with Scoresby that it reminded me in any way of
Spitzbergen. As it was inadvisable to go dow’n
the west coast, we returned by the southeast
coast, leaving the Wille glacier at 1:40 p. in.
As we steamed round the South East cape, we
could see the whole of this weird and wonderful
Island from end to end in cloudlet sunshine.
But for the surf, no one could have seen it un-
der more perfect conditions, and probably with-
out the wind we should have had fog. Already It
wa» cr ring up to eastward of us. and at 5 p. m ,
when \\tt were well away from the island, we ran
into it After the fog we had an easterly gale
and dangerous sea. which obliged us to change
our course for a time. But I had seen Jan May-
en, and did not greatly care what happened!
