former nearly exhausted after the tenth
mile and told her father she could ride no far

to the north pole via Behring Strait. Every

ably off cer ed. No news from her is good news
The last seen of her she was heading due north
and most probably has not been seen by whalcr:
because she has gone beyond their field Of OBJ
servation, and being steamer is able to make
her way against head wind. She is not visible
being so far north, which should strengthen the
belief Of thos interested that she will fulfil
her aim. The Jeanette may have struck the
Japanese kuro-Siwo warm current that
sweeps up the Arctic coast from the coast o.
Japan and by thermometric soundings coulG
keep the current and drift to the open polar sea
