P.), Sj s ' -The steamer Roosevelt bearing the north polar expedition of the QPeary Arctic club, parted company Iwlth the Erik and steamed out of lEtah ford late in the afternoon of lAugust 18. 1908. setting the usual course for Cape Sabine. The weather was dirty, with fresh southerly winds. IWe had on board 22 Eskimo men, 17 women, and ten children, 226 dogs, land some forty odd walrus. We encountered the Ice a short distance from the mouth of the harbor, but It was not closely packed, and was negotiated by ; the Rooserelt Without serious difficulty. FIND MUCH WATER. ; As we neared Capt Sabine the weather cleared somewhat and we passed close by Three Voort Island land Cape Sabine, easily making out jwlth the naked eye the house . at (Hayes harbor occupied by me in the winter of 1901-02. From Cape Sabine north there waa wo much water that we thought of setting the lug sail before the southerly wind, but a little later appearance of ice to the northward stopped hj.

There was clean open water to Cape Albert, and from there scattered ice to a point about abreast of Victoria Head, thick weather and dense ice bringing us some ten or fifteen miles away. From here we drifted south somewhat and then got aslant to the northward out of the current. We worked a little further north and stopped again for some hours. Then we again worked westward and notoward till we reached a series of lakes, coming to a stop a few miles south of the Windward's winter quarters at Cape Durvllle. From here, after some delay, we slowly worked a way northeastward through fog and broken ice of medium thickness through one night and the forenoon of the next day, only emerging into open water and clear weather off Cape Fraser. STRIKE ICE AND FOQ. From this point we had a clear run through the middle of Robeson channel uninterrupted by either Ice or fog, to Lady Franklin bay. Here we encountered both Ice and fog, and while working along in search of a practicable openirfg were forced across to the Greenland coast at Thank God Harbor.

The fog Hfted there and - enable us to make out our whereabouts and we steamed north through a series of leads past Cape Lupton, and thence southward toward Cape Union. A few miles off that cape we were stopped by Impracticable ice, and we drifted back south to Cape Union, where we stopped again. SHIP FORCED AGROUND. We lay for some time In a lake of water, and then, to prevent being drifted south again, took refuge under the north shore of Lincoln bay, In nearly the Identical place -where we had our unpleasant experiences three years before. Here we remained for several days during a period of constant and at times violent northeasterly winds. Twice we were forced aground by the heavy ice; we had our port quarter rail broken and a hole store in the bulwarks, and twice we pushed out In an attempt to get north, but we were forced back each time to our precarious shelter.

HEAVY RUNNING ICE. Finally on September 2 we squeezed around Cape Union ana made fast In a shallow niche In the Ice, but after some hours we made another short run to Black cape and hung on to a grounded bit of ice. At last, a little after midnight of September 6, we passed through extremely heavy running ice into a stream of open water, rounded Cape Rawson and passed Cape Sheridan. Within a quarter of an hour of the same time we arrived three years before seven a. . m.. September 5 we reached the open water extending beyond Cape Sheridan. We steamed up to the end of it and it appeared practicable at first to reach Porter bay, near Cape Joseph Henly, which I had for my winter quarters, but the outlook being unsatisfactory, I went back and put the Roosevelt into the only opening In the floe, being barred close to the mouth of the Sheridan , river a little north of our position three years prior. PUT UP FOR WINTER. The season was further advanced than In 1905; there was more snow on the ground and the new Ice Inside the floe bergs was much thicker. The work of discharging the ship was commenced at once and rushed to completion. The supplies and equipment we sledged across ice and sea and deposited on shore. A house and workshop were built of board, covered with sails, and fitted with stoves, and the ship was snug for winter in shoal water, where it touched bottom at low tide. This settlement on the stormy shores of the Arctic ocean was christened Hubbard ville. Hunting parties were sent out on September 10 and a bear was brought In on the 12th and some deer a day or two later. PREPARE FOR SLEDGE TRIP. On September 15 the full work of transferring supplies to Cape Columbia was inaugurated. Marvin with Dr. Goodsall and Borup and the Eskimos, took 16 sledge loads of supplies to Cape Belknap, and on the 27th the same party started with loads to Forler&v. - - Co. Store, 824

""The work of hunting and transporting supplies waa prosecuted continuously by the members of the party and the Eskimos until November 6, when the supplies for the spring sledge trip had been removed from winter quarters and deposited at various places from Cape Colan to Cape Columbia. The latter part of September th movement of the Ice subjected tht ship to a pressure which listed It to port some eight or ten degrees, and it did not recover till the following spring. On October 1 I went on a hunt with two Eskimos across the field and Pass bay and the peninsula, made the circuit of Clemants Markham Inlet, and returned to the ship In seven days with 15 musk oxen, a bear and a deer. Later In October I repeated the trip, obtaining five musk oxen, and hunting parties secured some forty deer."" " ' 4Prof. MacMlUan went to Columbia bay in November and obtained a month of tidal observations, returning In December. In the December moon Borup moved the Hecla depot to Cape Colan. Bartlett made a hunting trip overland to Lake Hazen and Hansen went to Clemant's Markham inlet. In the January moon Marven crossed Robeson channel and went to Cape Bryant for tidal and meteorological observations. Bartlett crossed the channel and made the circuit of Newman bay and explored the peninsula. After he returned Goodaall went to Markham Inlet and Borup toward Lake Hazen, in the Interior, oa hunting trips. In the February moon Bartlett went to Cape Hecla, Goodsall moved some more supplies from Hecla to Cape Colan, and Borup went to Markham inlet on a hunting trip. On February 15 Bartlett left the Roosevelt with his division for Cape Columbia and Parr bay. Goodsall, Borup, MacMTIlan ' and Hansen followed on successive days with their ; provisions. Marvin returned from Cape Bryant on February 17 and left for Cape Columbia on Febraaes 31. .J .brought up the. rear

By February 27 each of the-Cape Colan depot aa-waa naeded had been brought up to Cape Columbia. he dogs wore rested and doable rationed and harnessed, and the sledges and other gear overhauled. Four months of northerly winds during the fall and winter instead of southerly ones, as daring the previous season, led ma to expect lasa open water than beCore. but a great deal of rough lee, and I was prepared to hew a road through ths Jagged lee tor the first hundred miles or so, then cross the big lead. BARTLETT LEADS THE WAY. On the last day .of February Bartlett, with his pioneer division, accomplished this, and his division got away due north over the loe on Mareh 1. The rest of. the party got away oa Bartlett's'trall. and I followed an. hour later. The party now comprised seven

members of the expedition. 17 Bektmos. 133 dogs, and 19 sledges. One Eskimo and sevea dogs had gone to pieces. A strong easterly wind, drifting now, and temperature In the minus marked our departure from the camp at Cape Columbia, which I had christened Crane City. Rough Ice in the first march damaged several sledges and smashed two beyond repair, the teams going back to Columbia for other sledges In reserve there. PASS BRITISH RECORD. We camped ten miles from Crane City. The easterly wind and low temperature continued. In the second inarch we passed the British record msde by Markham In May, 187 82.20 and were stopped by opes water, which had been formed by wind after Bartlett passed'. In this mareh ws negotiated the lead and reached Bartlett'a third camp. Borup had gone back ' from here, but missed his way, owing to the faulting of the trail by the movement of the Ice. Marvin came back also for more fuel and alcohol. Ths wind continued, forming open water all about ua. At the end of the fourth march we came upon Bartlett, who had been 'stopped' by a wide lake of open water. We remained here from March 4 to March 11. GETS GLIMPSE OF SUN. At noon of March 5 the sun. red and shaped like a football by excessed reflection, just raised Itself above the horizon for a few minutes and then disappeared again. It was the first time I had seen it since October 1. I now began to feel a good deal of anxiety because there were no signs of Marvin and Borup, who should have been there for two days. Besides, they had the alcohol and oil. which were indispensable for us. We 'concluded that they had either lost the trail or were Imprisoned on an island by open water, probably the latter. , Fortunately, on Mareh 11 the lead was practicable and. leaving a vote for Marvin and Borup to push on after us by forced marches, we proceeded northward. The sounding of the lesd gave 110 fathoms. During this march we crossed the eighty-fourth parallel and traversed a succession of Just frozen leads, from a few hundred yards to a mile In width. This march was really simple. On the fourteenth we got free of the leads and came on decent going. While we were making camp a courier from Marvin came and Informed me he was on the march in the rear. The temperature was 59 below zero. - The following morning. March IS. I sent Hansen with his division north to pioneer a trail for five marches, and Dr. Good sell, according to the program, started back to Caps Columbia. M'MILLAN TURNS BACK. At night Marvin and Borup came spinning in with their men and dogs steaming in the bitter air like a squadron of battleships. Their arrival relieved me of all anxiety as to oar oil supply. In the morning X discovered that MacMUlan's foot was badly "frost bitten. The mishap had occurred two or threje days Jb?re., but MncMIllan

A glance at the Injury showed me that the only thing was to send him back to Cape Columbia at once. The arrival of Marvin and Borup enabled me to spare sufficient-men aad dogs to go back with him. - LOSS IS SERIOUS ONE. This early loss of MaeMlllaa was seriously disappointing, to me. Ha had a sledge all the way from Caps Columbia, and with bis snthuslasm and the powers and physknof the trained athlete I had confidence la him for at least the 86th parallel, but there. waa no alternative. The beet sledges -and dogs were selected and the sledge loads brought up to the standard. The sounding gave a depth of 325 fathoms. We were over the continual shelf, and. as I had surmised, the successive leads crossed In the fifth, and sixth marches composed the big lead and marked the continual shelf.! On leaving the 'camp the expedition comprised 16 men, 12 sledges and 100 dogs. The next march was satisfactory as regards distance and ths character of the going. In the latter part there were pronounced movementa la the Ice. both visible and audible. Some leads were crossed. In one of which Borup and his team took a bath, and we were finally stopped by an impracticable lead opening in front of us. We camped la a temperature of 50 degrees below. At the end of two abort marches wa came upon Hansen and bis party la ramn. mmdiac their sledges. Wa de voted the remainder of the day to overhauling ana menaing sjeagee ana breaking up our damaged ones for material. t MAKE FORCED MARCHES. The next morning I pat Marvlnttn the lead to pioneer the trail, with Instructions to make two forced marches to bring up our average, which had been cut down by the last two short ones. Marvin carried out his instructions Implicitly. A considerable amount of young lea assisted in this. At the end of the tenta march. latitude 85.23. Borup turned back In command of the second supportlns party, having traveled a distance eoulvaleat to Nansen'a distance from this far to his farthest north. I was sorry to lose this young Yale runner, with his ' enthusiasm sad pluck. Hs had led his heavy sledge over the floss In a way that . commanded everyone's admiration and would have made his father's eyes glisten. CHANGES HIS PLAN. From this point the expedition comprised 20 men, 10 sledges, and 70 dogs. It wss necessary for Martin to take a sledge from here, and I put Bartlett aad his division la advance to pioneer the tralL The contgnnal daylight enabled me to make a moderation here that brought my advance and mala parties closer together aad reduced the likelihood of their being separated by open leads. . .
