LETT. MELVILLE.

New YORK, Jan. S.-The Herald prints
an interview with Lieut.. Melville, in which
he discredits Vests story to the finding of
Chipps party. Melville says there was no
bunting in Chipp's boat. His flag was of
blue silk, with the word Maud on it,
the letters being of white silk and sewed
on. Passing, however, to the inside, he
calls a cairn. We are told there were
boxes. ''The party has one small box and
no more. They might have had axes.
Chipps boat had two broad axes and a
small one. There were also two guns in
the boat therefore, they might have had a
gun The next paragraph, however,
eontradicts all my arctic experiences as an
arctic traveller. regard it as impossible
that men could have lived after their feet
dropped off, or that man could have shuf-
fled out of a sleeping bag under the cir
cumstances, if there was curtain of raw
hides, as described. The hut must have
been inhabited by Gatoutes, as they do use
reindeer SKINS in that manner. Lieut..
Chipp's party had no raw hides when they
separated from us, but they might have
killed a reindeer. This part of the story
supplies the most improbable of all, for if
people are very hungry raw hide. is very
good eating"
