The Ill.Eated Jcannette.
D . = A ~

Lieut.. Danenhower resumed. before the jean
net!e board OF inquiry this morning, his narrative
the Jeanette. He sld: 4" Mr. Dunbar, the ice
pilot, was detailed TO go ahead, select road, and
plant black flags To show the line of march, and
the proposed arrangement was to advance the
boats and provision sleds by short stages and as
many OF them at a time as practicable"
QuestiOn.-Was the detail of officers and men
Tor the boats made before the start upon the re-
treat?
Answer.-There was detail made in Septem-
Island about August 6, 1884, A modification OF
tnls last detail was made about september 3,when
two men were taken from Lieut. Chipps' boat.
Ihe mems knapSackS and personal equipments
were slowed in Che boats on the retreat.
In reply to a further question, witness said the
provisions saved from the wreck and provided for
the retreat were all that it possible to carry
ana even more, as some had to be abandoned to
prevent encumbering the party too much.
Witness was then asked what became OF the
other two boats saved from the wreck which were
not taken along on the retreat and replied: The
iron d1ngy was left at the first camp and the
wooden dingy was taken along, to be used for
quick work In launching to hunt for seals. She
was was eventually, however, cut uD for fuel The
which Is considered the best description OF boat
for Arctic service, their ghtness being the chief
recommendation.
Queston.-Did subsequent experience prove the
captains statement ('the boats already down Will
be sufficiently to be correct?
AnSWer-Ihe question is a difficult one to an
sWer. lt would seem to call for my judgment on
the whole matter The stowage capacity OF the
uoaoS was SuIclenC LOT tne Jnlrty-Cnree people ana
their effects. The boats had to be crowded, and
when we reached the coast water fourteen persons
were In the first cutter, eleven In the whale-boat,
and eight in the second cutter. While travelling
over the ice the second cutter YVES considered the
favorte boat and fully adapted to the service for
which she was intended. She was short and
handy, and was not subjected to the same strains
and thumpS that the other boats received. The
captain evidently meant that all the boats the
party could carry were on the ice, and that it was
not necessary to take more risk and trouble in
lowering the second Whale-boat from the ship
after she had been abandoned.
QueStiOn.-WaS either OF the boats used cOnsid-
cred deficient In strength. or as a sea boat, and
II so, which OF them?
AnSwer.-At the commencement Of the retreat
neither OF the boats were considered deficient in
strength or badly adapted to what was expected
or IL. except the whale boat (Which was used), she
being long and subject to rough usage in trans
porting her over rough hummocks. She had her
garboards stove and all Of her fastenings were
we reached Bennett island, where she was
oVerhauled and repaired by Carpenter Sweetman.

Spendinx the Fourth.

When a slice of November weather is in
serted and is called July 4, il is not exactly
pleasant. Such was yesterday. In July
we expect warm days aud not the cool,
drizzly weather of yesterday. However,
in spite of the rain and cold, Wheeling psO-
pie managed to put in the day in some
shape, either at picnicS or in Sauntering
about the city, enjoying themselves as best
they might under the circumstances
The city was very reasonably dressed out
in flags and bunting, the Capitol, city
building, hotels. etc, leading in the tri-
.colored decorative art The ordinance in
relation 10 firearms, fireworks and such
things was generally disregarded, and
crackers popped and pistols and cannons
doomed all day. In the evening there was
a spaSmOdic attempt at fireworks in various
directions, but nothing like a brilliant dis
play was seen. About IL o'clock the sky
cleared and the moon appeared, discount
ing any human attempts at illumination,
and diSsipating the colOred lights which
occasionally flared up from the prominent
corners.
Picnics were well patronized, and es-
pecially so when the bad weather was taken
into consideration. HornbrOOk's park,
SeibeTt's garden, and the Fair Grounds
drew the largest crowds.
