ONE interesting feature of the Jeanette
investigation is the love and devotion dis
played by Mrs. De Long. Day after day,
week after week she sits in her place at the
table in the committee-room of Naval AZ
fairs with her dead husbands diary before
her, the most attentive watcher of the
proceedings Not word or movo es-
capes her. She prompts her counsel, fur
nishes data for pertinent questions TO the
witnesses, and in many ways gives evidence
of close study and thorough knowledge of
all the important facts and Incidents of
that ill-fatod voyage in which her brave
husband gave up his life. She knows every
date and every move that was made and
the reasons which governed them rs we'll
as the survivors of the crew themselves.
Sad as is the picture in the retrospect, it is
beautiful and grand in its setting of love
and devotion to the memory of the dead.
1t seems shame that the brave little lady
should be thus compelled to watch aud de-
fend the honor and memory of her hus-
| band. 1t is one of the saddest pages in the
| history of the awful ending of the expedi.
tion. OF itself it is enough to condemn
| the Investigation.
