Prof J. Murdoch explains what a "throwing sthk" G. and how it led Hr.

In lkS6 a curator of a Norwegian scienlfic society found a throwing stie," among the driftwood at tSodthaab, Greenland, different from those used in Greenland, but similar to those used iq. Alaska, and practically Identical with implements employed by natives living near Bering etralt. The discoverer. Dr. Ring, set himself the work of finding out bow It had reached Godthaab. It was evident that It had not drifted by 6f the Northwest passage, for that way Is barred by such a network of Islands that the stick would undoubtedly have stranded long before it reached Greenland. The only reasonable explanation he could, give was that the stiel must have drifted with the current at sets north through Hieing strait into th Arctic ocean. m the north of the strait the current moves steadily westward. There the stick must have met the current that sweeps down between Inland and Jlreenland, and then turned. northward again around Cape F. ewell. This Maury appealed to Hr. Nansen, and ultimuti ly led him to form bin adventurous plan of trusting h!s lit e vessel to the current which he hell vrd would carry him over the pule.
