Gen. W. B. Hazen, chief signal officer q. s. A., In
transmitting the report OF Lieut. Darlington to
Secretary Lincoln, makes the following remarks:
The failure Of the expedition to find stores and
dogs ready in Greenland, as had been expected, is
not understood, since the Danish government had
been communicated with on that subject at the
proper time, which was all that could be done or
had been usual in previous years
The question Of supplementary orders that Mr..
Darlington refers to as having been raised, and in
unfairness to himself, is In substance correctly
stated by him: After Lieut. Greely arrived IN Lady
Franklin bay In 1884, he wrote out and sent to this
once fun directions for the party that might be
sent to relieve him, ending as follows: ''No devfa
tion from these Instructions should be permitted.
Latitude OF action should not be given to reliev-
ing party who, on known coast, are searching for
men who knew their plans and orders" This made
tions that Id any manner might change the pro
gram there marked out Congress had after
wards, however, added another element to the
question, In this that the party should be brought
away this summer. This, at first, caused the In
