THE


A few days ago Lieutenant belong,
captain of the Jeanette, submitted
proposals to various merchants for
clothing to be furnished for the use of
the crew of his Arctic yacht. Some of
the clothing has already arrived. Each
man was measured for his suit, so that
a perfect fit will be guaranteed, and
the clothing was then made to order.
Each man will be fitted out with three
suits; INT of them is a heavy brown
copper-fastened duck suit, lined through
out with gray blanket; the coat is made
after ulster pattern, and provided with
a number of pockets, and broad belt to
strap around the waist. Another suit,
intended for dress parade, is the regu-
lation blue naval uniform, the trousers
being wide at the bottom, the shirt be-
ing double-back, with broad collar. The
cap is the regulation style, and black
necktie. The third suit is made of black
oil-skin, and comprises %pea-jacket,
pants, and souwester. Each will be
provided with a long blue %overcoat, and
and a number of pairs of wooden stock
ings that are made to reach above the
knees. The shoes are to be made to
order in San Francisco of canvas and
sortedlinen threads, a couple of dozen
pairs of scissors, a large quantity of
pins and needles will be among the
nick-knacks. Fine and coarse combs,
a dozen and a half of two and three
quart rubber bottles with handles,
made by the National Rubber Co. of
Bristol, r. l., will be carried along for
use while travelling in small boats on
the ice. Where the mouth piece is
fastened there is a rubber funnel
stitched on, so that the bottle can be
easily filled. This style of bottle is
said to be superior to the old style army
canteen made of tin, as there is no
danger of their breaking on being dent
ed. Besides the clothing that has been
picked out for the crew, the officers
will also have their outfit after the
same pattern, except the blue shirt,
trousers and cap, they wearing the
governmental officers uniforms. The
Alaska Fur company some time ago
presented the expedition with a com
plete outfit of fur clothing, which, of
course, will be made use of. Every
mar will be provided with a pair Of
heavy blue blankets, mattress, and pill
lows.
