NEW YORK, May 6.-No one can read the
page of the Jeanette story in the Herald of this
morning, the chapter that deals with the occu-
pants OF Melville's boat from the time they
reached the Lena Delta until they arrived at
1rkousk, and one that is filed with recitals OF
sufferngs, without coming to the conclusion
that the esprit de corps of the party was not
altogether the best; and somehow the convic-
ton is forced upon the mind that had there
been more harmonious cooperation between
| the two officers who were assigned to the COM
| mand of this boat there might have been bet
ter outcome to the terrible wandering to De
| Long and his following. The whole boat to
| which this party was assigned was under the
the command of Melville, who had been given
| written orders by De Long, which orders made
it obligatory upon all survivors of the retreat
| from the sunken ship, in case the boats wore
separated, to look upon Melville as the one in
supreme command Now Melville is a staff
officer, while Lieut. Danenhower belongs to the
line, and it Is not strange, perhaps, after all
these years Of disagreement between these two
distinctions Of the naval service, to find these
differences still prevailing, even under the
shadow Of death in the far away Siberian ice
fields 1t appears that the boat crew, instead |
