WHAT THE DIARIES OF THE GREELY PARTY
SHOW An army official at Washington has
read portions of the diaries of the Greedy
party and says they reveal a more serious
condition Of affairs than the survivors will
admit From the beginning of the eXpedi-
ton, it seems, there were disputes between
members of the party These led TO divi
sion which existed at the time of the rescue.
When found there were two parties, one in
charge of Sergt. Long and the other in charge
OF Sergt. Brainard, and they were living as
separately as two tribes. Greedy, while an iu-
valid and during the last few months of his
Arctic life, was in the party headed by Brain.
ard, who cared for him daily. The diaries
show that stealing rations was common
practice. One says that DR.. Pavy stole them
whenever opportunity offered and that he
sometimes took such as were apporlioned to
the indisposed members OF the party. At
other times when men were sent to shoot
birds and were successful, not all the birds
we're taken to camp but some were concealed
in the snow for the future use of the hunters.
No mention is made of oannbalism in por~
tions of the diaries that have been read. The
full contents Of the diaries will not be made
public until an investigation is ordered.
Sergts. Brainard and Long and Private Con
nell of the Greedy expedition deny this story
of feud and division and say that the army
officer who makes the statements concerning
the diaries of the expedition is a slanderer
and his story lie tout of whole cloth"
