Newspaper account from the Reading Times (Reading, Pennsylvania) 26 October 1928, Page 13:
"ALASKAN MUMMY ON WAY TO NEW YORK. Stone Man Rivals in Importance Find of Famous King Tut. MONTREAL, Oct. 25. Carrying with them the mummified head of what is claimed to have been a Stone Age man, found in a lofty burial place on the Aleutian Islands, near the Arctic coast of Siberia, members of the Stoll-McCracken expedition, led by Harold McCracken, associate editor of "Field and Stream," have passed through here on their way to New York from Prince Rupert, B.C., where they left their ship, the Morrissey [the Effie M. Morrissey]. Their return marks the successful achievement of the purposes of the scientific expedition which left New York on April 16, to spend many months in the buffetings of Arctic seas to uncover evidences of a pre-historic race. The Arctic mummies discovered by the expedition are regarded as possibly rivaling in importance the discoveries in Tut-Ankh-Amen's tomb, because of their probable connection with the first human beings to migrate to this continent across Bering Sea from Asia. A part of one of these four invaluable heirlooms of pre-historic days on the Arctic traveled eastward across the continent in a cotton-lined box in McCracken's drawing room on the modern Continental Limited of the Canadian National railways. The remainder of their find was carried by special arrangement with the railway in the baggage car. ACCOMPANIED IN DEATH. "While we are not altogether certain of the exact age in terms of years of this find," said the explorer, "there is no question but that it dates back to the Stone Age. The four mummies which were all in one large wooden sarcophagus were of a chieftain of very high rank and three grave escorts who had, according to custom, been put to death to accompany their chief in his after life. These were a hunter, a seamstress and an infant." During their cruise through icy waters the members of the expedition maintained touch with civilization through radio station CNRW of the Canadian National railways chain at Vancouver, which sent and received messages on a special short wave installation.

McCracken Siberian Arctic Expedition.
