Mr. CoIIimss indiscrcct friends have III theH
stupdity emphasized one Of the minor morais
Of the Jeannette's cruise. 1t relates to the
fotuiiv and inexpcdicncy of combining schemes
of Arctic exploration and newspaper WlvertIS-
ing. The special core spoHdcnt would have been
more amcnablc to discipline il he bad not had
grounds for surprising himself to be the per-
sonal representative Of the patron OF the eX-
petition.
Thc evidence giycn by the witnesses before th"
House Committee does not affect the Naval
Courts conclusions respecting the equipment
and management Of the expedition ana the
general conduct Of officers and men. The
health Of the crew during the prOtraccd voyage
and the orderly manner in which the retreat
was conducted under circumstances oi extreme
danger and difficulty must be accepted Is II
REPUTABLE proofs that the sanitary Arrangements
and discipline were admirIbc. From the
hour when the ship entered the Ice to the de
spairng moment when his bcnumbcd arm Was
appraised in mute appeal for human aid, belong
did what hccould to promote the comfort OF his
men, the safety of the ship and the shcccSs OF
the expedition. This was tho verdict Of the
Naval Court and it has been received BY the
service and the country rs IN impartial and Just
Judgment. The qub5ling OF lawyers before the
House Committee, the audacioas cOnjecturcs
and complaccnt criticisms Of the forecIstlc, and
Tie destinations and suspicious Of newspaper
correspondents sensitive friends will not modify
this Judgment.
That there were some miserable exhibitions of
pcttincss of pirit cnvyinEs, heart butnings and
amnesty during the voyage ans the retreat
seem, indisputdblc. The tattlc Of the Witnesses
proves what any one might have reasonably SITS

mutual attriton and occasional sparks OF bad
