It mentions Mikkelsen’s plans to raise funds in Brooklyn, travel to the Beaufort Sea, and potential cooperation or use of a revenue cutter, with August meetings at the Mackenzie mouth.

Boy of milk diet baffling doctors in Rockport
A ten year old boy in Rockport survives solely on milk fed via a glass tube. He eats no solid foods, sleeps supperless rather than drink from a cup, and his only other intake is occasional salt on a radish or onion. Parents credit the habit to early confinement of his hands to protect eczema. Health remains good but experts note lack of meat may affect vigor.
