THE GREELEY EXPEDITION.
THE CHANCES FOR ESCAPE.
DIR. Emil Bessels, of Washington, who
was chief Of the scientific staff of the Arc
tic exploring steamer Polaris, in 1878, and
ence on the coast of East Greenland and
Nova Zembla, was asked Sunday evening
what he thought of the news from Smith
Sound and chances of the escape of Lien
tenant Greedy. He replied: IL am afraid
there might be difficulty in communicating
with the Lady Franklin Bay stations, and
in bringing the party away from there at
the conclusion of the work. 1t isn't every
year that vessel can sail up Smith Sound
and Kennedy. Channel as the Polaris did
with the Greedy party on board In 1881. /

still reach the Danish settlement of Upper
navik this fall, and sledge party might be
dispatched northward from there up the
Greenland coast to meet Lieutenant Greedy
would not be practicable. The Greenland
coast north of Uppernavik and around Mel
vile Bay Is intersected by extensive gla-
ciers, which It Is practically impossible to
cross. If sledge journeys could be made
along this coast the Etah Esquimaux, who
communicate with the Esquimaux of the
Danish settlements, of whose existence
they are well aware, and especially would
they be likely to do this in times Of famine,
when, IL they could reach the Danish set
Elements, they could get food. But they
never have done it, simply because it is not
practicable even for them and still less SO
for white men. l think 1t too late to do
| anything for the relief of Greely's party
this fall. 1t Lieutenant Greedy and his
men are now at the mouth of Smiths Sound
they can, without doubt, find the Etah Es-
quimaux. Some natives of that tribe are al
most sure to be living either at Etah or
SOrfolik, near the mouth of the sound.
Whether the Esquimaux could and would
help so large party as that of Lieutenant
thrOnOh nr L n
know. 1t would depend upon circum-
stances. During the winter we spent at
the Polaris house in Etah, Esquimaux
wouldn't have been able to help anybody,
of starvation themselves. There are also
but few of them. The whole tribe con-
| sisted of about one hundred souls when we
wintered in their country, and they are
scattered along the coast from the vicinity
of Littleton Island to Cape York. think

CAPTAIN CAzIARE's STATEMENT.
Captain Caziare the Acting Chief Signal
Officer furnishes the following statement
of what Lieutenant Darlington was able to
do in the way of leaving supplies and in
formation for Lieutenant Greely's party
and the probable movements of the latter,
based on information received at the signal
Office. Lieutenant Greedy was to leave his
station on September /, and to move south
by boat, with the expectation of reaching
Cape Sabine by September Is. Lieutenant
Darlington left him at that point 500 rations
and q supply of clothing. This added to
24O ratiOns there would give him 740 ratiOns
or thirty-seven days supplies for the en-
tire party. He will also receive at Cape
Sabine news Of Clearinghouse departure and
Of his retreat south. IL Greedy reaches
Cape Sabine, as may reasonably be ex-
