covered near Lady Franklin bay by the English |
expedition of 1879.
After leaving st. Johns, N F.. except to OBJ
tam Esquimau hunters, dogs, clothing etc at
Disco or Upernavik, only such stops will be
made as the condition Of the ice necessitates, or
as are essential in order to determine the exact
location ana condition of the stores cached on
the east coast of Grinnell Land by the English
expedition OF 1870. During any enforced DELAYS
on tnat coast II would be well to supplement- the |
English depots by such small caches from the |
steamers stores of provisions as would be valu-
able TO party retreating southwark by boats |
from Robson channel. At each point where an |
nld depot IS examined or new one established |

nent station, discharge her cargo with the ut
most dispatch and be ordered TO return TO ST
iohhs, \. r. after careful examination of the
seam OF coal at that point has been made bv the

easily procurable. A report in writing on this
subject viii be sent 10y the returning vessel In
