"PICTOU BOYS BACK FROM TRIP AROUND THE WORLD

Took Ice Breaker to Russia - Tell 
About Conditions in Russia Just
Before Revolution 

  There arrived in Pictou on Wednesday night the following Pictou boys who had just complete a trip around the world: James MacDonald, Hubert Turner, Toney River; Henry MacMaster, Jon Murray, William MacLeod, Waterside; Dave Horton, Treton.

   At Ucanka the Pictonians saw a boa which had been torpedoed and run ashore. On January 22 they left there on the journey up the White sea, breaking ice and towing ships that had been fast in ice. They arrived at Accomia, practically a suburb of Archangel, on January 25. They were to have stayed there for some time, but there was no room for the boat, so inadequate were the transportation facilities, so they moved on the 26th to Solombo, another small place nearer Archangel."
