R. Earle Harcourt, president of Arctic Shipping Ltd., optimisti- cally predicted his firm's tug would return as far west at Tu- toyaktuk, 1,100 miles west Spence Bay, to winter. None said the rug, which left 10 days later to allow completion of the specially - built barge, would make the entire voyage. The tug -- launched in 1918 at HMCS Armentieres--is a former minesweeper, about 135 feet in length and 40 feet wide. Master of The Rover is Capt. Hill Wilson, 30, a native of White- head, Northern Ireland. It was his first trip into the Arctic, Only two of the 11-man crew had ever sailed in Arctic waters. CHEAPER METHOD "The most noteworthy thing of ean. Another saving is our smal- ler crew of 11 compared to the LST's 35. "Because we handle our freight lonly once it reached our destin- ation in good condition. "We had 3,000 barrels of petrol- eum products for the RCAF base at Cambridge Bay. Only four barrels were leaking after it was unloaded. A 20-per-cent loss is considered good when similar freight is hauled via the Macken- zie River," he said. PLAN TWO TUGS A second tug next year will ply the route with the Arctic Rover. The route follows the B.C. coast- line north, through the Bering |Strait and east along the Alas- |kan, Yukon and Northwest Terri- tories' Arctic shoreline. * The Arctic Rover--launched in 1918 as the HMCS Armentieres-- kept within radar site of the shore during most of the voyage. The most difficult and danger- lous sections of the trip were be- tween Point Barrow, the most northerly tip of Alaska, and Her- schel Island, 100 west of Tutoyak- tuk, and east of Cape Parry.
