WASHINGTON, Nov. 14.-Engineer Mel
Vile to-day concluded his history of the
trials of the whale-boat crew up to the time
they reached q native village IN biDerla
| and received assistance. His tale has oeen
principally repetition OF that tod py
! lieutenant Danenhower. At the conclu-

examined with regard to the discipline main
tanned, causes of discussion, and his opinion
of the wisdom and seamanship OF DeLong

particular overt act for which Collins, IN
March, 1880, was, as yoP say suspended
from duty?

the time.
ON what spirits were the officers anC
mon when they started on the retreat and
generally during the march, and when, II a.
anv time, did they show any despondency
A.-rhey were all in the best OF spirits
when they started on the retreat and dur
ing the march. They were more thoughtlu
during the ten days camp and drew closer
To each other in more serious discussion
Of their prospects of reaching land and
'"o'yWas there a fair division Of labor
made among all the ship's company during
the retreat
A.-Yes, sir; with the exception Of those
on the sick list or suspended from duty..
O-Was Collins fully able to work at the
tune he was suspended from dutS'
Al think he was.
0-Was the delay at Bennett Islam
necessary for the repair OF the boats ahe
the remuneration of the men, and no longer
than was requisite for this purpose? 49,.
A,-The men were IN very good condltloI
at the time, but the rest was undoubtedly
Good tor them. ! don't think the bot 4
Sonld have been repaired 10 the same ad

longer than necessary to make repairs ant
effect new organization preparatory tC
takeing to the boats.
O.-Was there any unnecessary delay on
the retreat, either before or after th'
separation of the boats?
A.-No; don't believe there were.
Odd the boats selected for the retreat
prove to be the best possible in respect
their seaworthiness, their convenience o
handling on ice, their capacity for carrying
their crews and equipments?
A.-Yes, sir; think 1t was the best Sc
lection that could have heen made
They were the best three p9at
on The Jeannette to transport in. The
crew we're. of course, accommodated to thu
carrying capacity of the boats. In my
opinion the second cutter iloated lighte
than either of the others; as TO theis sea
worthiuess don't think the second cutter
she being shorter, was so good sea boat
but i don't think either the ,whale-poat
first cutter could have reched the SlDerlai
coast but for the weather cloths, which II
the case OF the first cutter, were fully ont
foot higher, while those OF the second cut
ter were only about six inches higher
Taking all things into consideration.
think the selection of these three boats 10
,tbirtv.three people was the best that coul'

would never have gotten through. 81, >,
