of apportioning. The moderate
amount of DIR. Boynton's bill compared
with others, and the fact that it was pre-
sented only upon repeated requests fro m
the board OF audit, argues we'll for his
chances of receiving something handsome
out of the appropriation. The further
fact that he was employed directly by the
president aud Mrs. Garfield will come in
for consideration. Drs. Bliss and Hamil-
ton claim a little over $500 a day for the
eighty days of the presidents
illness. Mrs. Edson's claim amounts
to a little over $40 per day;
DR.. Boynton's a little over $50 per day, a
noteworthy contrast. Upon the return of
Judge Lawrence, first controller of the
currency, and one of the board of audit,
from a short trip to his home in Ohio, a
meeting will be held to consider and act
| upon all the claims presented.

to return until the latter part of the week.
Lieut.. Darenhower resumed before the
Jeanette board of inquiry his narrative of
| the retreat across the ice after the sinking
| of the Jeanette.
In answer to questions witness said: My
| opinion and judgment at the time of leav-
ing the ship was that too much was carried
both of provisions and clothing. I thought
| at the time it was best to reduce everything
to the minimum of weight, to carry sixty
| days provisions and strike due south as
rapidly as possible for the Asiatic coast
water.
Question-With the exception you have
noted were all other preparations adequate
| and sufficient?
Answer-No. Each boat should have
been provided in anticipation of separa-
ton in the way of a compass, s~extant, al
manac and lo~garithmic tables. The arti-
cles were in the Jeanette. and in October,
1879, a box was prepared for each boat to
contain a full set of everything that
might be required for their navigation.
| This was lone with a list of articles speci-
fed by the captain. The boxes and boat
compasses were slowed in the starboard
chart room ready for immediate use. I do
| not know that the articles we're Intention
| ally left in the ship on the afternoon of
June II, 1881, The prismatic compasses
were always kept hanging in the chart
room ready for Immediate use, and were
taken on that day. Adjourned.
