An Opinion or the Greedy Expedition
LONDON, Aug. 0.-Clements K. Mark
ham, Secretary of the Royal Geoeraph-
ical Society, VINO served in the Arctic ex-
petition Of 1851 in search of Sir James
Franklin. has written a letter saying
that the accusation Of murder and can
nibalism against the Greedy party is
disgrace TO American journals. Dsceu-
cy would have suggested silence until
Greedy had submitted his report to the
government. Markham, continuing,
says that the American Navy Depart
ment should have controlled and have
been responsible for the expedition. The
party should never have been left with
out depot ship wintering within as-
oessible distance of them. The Difficult
ty of navigating the channels north of
Smiths Sound WIS ignored and precau-
tions were neglected, hence the catas-
trophe for which there was no cause.
Lieutenant Greely's observatory work
will form valuable supplements to the
series OF observations which were taken
by the ship Discovery in 1875. The
members of the Greedy expedition are
mistaken, however, in stating that Brau-
man, Cape Britannia, was visible from
Lincoln Bay on the west side of Robert
son channel. The real Cape Brittania
Is invisible from Lincoln Bay, the
most distant land visible being Cape
May and Mt. Hooker. The point which
Lockwood and Brainerd reached was
Cape May, not Cape Brittania. Where
they next cached was Beaumont's Isle,
with the small isles between il and the |
main land of Brittania.
