lieve any demand for copy was made

and they knew they couldn't get it. He
understood the copy was to be furnished

time.
He had held repeated Conversations
with Ford & Co. as to the eXpediency of
issuing the book in IA, when Plymouth

various councils, the gentleman of

Melville Tells How the Frozen BodIes
Were Found and Treated.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 2l.-In the
Jeanette court this morning Engineer
Melville continued his account of the
search for De Long and party. The mar
rative was very pathetic and the speaker
told the story in straightforward man
ner. He gave the details of the discov.
cry of the party frozen TO death on the
bank of the Lena. A large audi
ence was present. The attention
of the searchers was first attracted by
hut poles sticking out of the snow.
Upon seeing these the party advanced "a
few steps when they saw a hand reach
ing out in the snow, which afterwards
proved to be belongs. The rest of
the party then discovered the re-
mains of a fire near them and ev-
licences that the unfortunate men
had been trying to remove their effects
with the supposed view of reaching the
banks of the river. Melville said they
eventually recognized the fact that il
they died near the bank of the river the
bodies would be crrried away by floats
Melville examined Belongs journal
found near where his body laid. The
bodies were all frozen to the ground, bu
as soon as discovered were pried up
rolled together ana covered with ten
cloth. 1t was found when Ambloss
body was turned over that he clutched
belongs pistol. From this Melvill,
drew the inference that DeLong died
before Ambloss, and that the latter had
taken the pistol to keep off the animals
Melville gave directions TO have thu
bodies taken out of the snow and PLACED
in the hut near by. He also DIRECTED
those removing the bodies TO be very
