point say that before leaving the island some
controversy took place between Danenhower
and Ne~comb. and the latter was suspended
from duty by the captain As we we're about
embarking, seeing that Newcomb was de-
tailed to 60 in NV boat, asked the captain
if Newcomb was to start with us. He replied.
he is under suspension, but that will not pre-
vent him from rendering you whatever as
sistance you may require in working the
boat. When we landed on the foe, to camp
for the night, De Long asked me if Danen-
hover had assumed to take command, or
why l had permitted him to take the tiller.

be beaten by the first cutter, and had made
arrangement he had noted for that reason.
He said, all right, but you must remember

while he is on the sick list. l told Danen
hover about it, and he said he was able and
desired to do duty. / said these are the cap.
