The Jeanette Search Expedition
The latest Intelligence concerning
the governments intended search for
the lost Jeanette comes from Philadel-
phis, where Chief Engineer A. V. Zane,
U. s. Navy, has received his orders to
accompany the expedition to the Arctic.
He has informed Press reporter that
the Mary and Helen will probably sail
from San Francisco about June LIST.
He said:
OF course we will stop at Sitka or
some other point for coal, dogs, furs,
and all paraphernalia necessary for an
Arctic voyage. If we do not find any
necessary at Wrangle Island, where we
shall probably first stop, we will go to
Herald Island. where it was arranged
that Captain De Long should leave
message, in case he could not land ut
the former place.
The search along the coast of these
two islands will probably take two
months, when the Arctic winter will
begin. They were then ordered to find
a secure harbor at Wrangel Island, and
if this is not possible, to cross over to
Siberia and go into winter quarters
there. During the winter, sledge
parties will be organized and sent out
in search of news of the Jeanette.
Our orders areS not to stay north more
than one winter, but to prosecute the
search after spring opens and remain
until winter sets in again. Then we
will return to San Francisco.
The Mary and Helen will be COM
manded by officers of rs men. She will
be fully provisioned for the trip and will
have plenty of food on board to supply
the Jeanette and any other vessels in
distress.
The Government furnishes all heavy
clothing and fur clothing for the officers
and men. We will take canned vege-
tables and meats of various sorts and
5000 pounds of pemmican, which is
now being made in Baltimore. Very
little liquor will be taken. Every man
on board is volunteer, and detail was
made by the Department after the men
had notified it of their Intention to- 90.

assigned to various scientific investiga-
tons. Lam to look out for mineralogic
