No Photographs Taken.

THE MEETING OF GREELY AND HIS RESCUERS PIC
TURED ONLY IN WORDS.
The Acting Secretary Of the Navy received tele-
gram from the editor Of New York paper to-day ask
Ing permission to obtain copies OF the photographs
showing the meeting OF the relief ships and the
Greely party, for Illustration in Saturdays edition
reply was made that the Navy department had
no knowledge OF any such pictures Admiral
Nichols, In speaking about the matter, said that he
had thus far seen but one account OF the meeting
which represented the survivors as wildly running
about the shore, unable TO contain themselves on
account OF the JOY at the prospect OF being rescued
and signalling for the photographer to be sent
ashore TO take pictures OF the meeting. This ac-
count, he thought, must have originated In the
mind of the special correspondent as all the oica
accounts showed only one man strong enough to
reach a position where the reScuers could be Seen
and he was compelled TO roll, on account OF weak
ness. down hill to reach that position. He thinks
therefore, that there were no photographs taken as
described II there are any they are not the prop
erty OF the Navy d partment, and there can be no
oDJectlon to their being reprinted.

The Greely Relief Expedition.
THE DIFFICULTIES ENCOUNTERED BY COMMANDER
SCHLKY.

Rear Admiral Nichols, Acting Secretary OF the
Navy, yesterday received report from Commander
Schley dated ST Johns, July 21st, in which he says
that in prosecuting the search for Lieut. Greely's
party it was often necessary in order to gain open
ice so as to advance with as little delay as DOS
Sible to take greater risks than are ordinarily us
tihable, as the waters were mainly unknown, i'm
perfectly surveyed, and their dangers uncharted,
while great prudence was exercised, both the
Thetis and the Bear grounded two or three times,
but without serious injury. He says he purposely
avoided reference to these accidents in his tele-
graphic reports, for fear Of causing uneasness but
that in his final report he Will give minute state
ment OF the circumstances OF each grounding and
OF the injuries sustained. The rapidity and sue
cess OF The voyage, he says, shows that the injury
to the ships was not serious.
