His letter, dated at the "Mouth o'

party within a year. Stefansson
says:

"This find is the beginning of the
solution of one or two problems:
What became ol some of Franklin's
men ?
"What became of the ".000 Scandl
navians who disappeared from Green-
land in the fifteenth century?
"Or if neither of these questions is
to be answered, then we ihave intro-
duced a new problem of scientific
interest:
"Why do some of the people of Vic-

rest of their race? Why are they
so Kuropean in type? We have dis-
covered the non-existence of a stream
