Two English women, Mrs. Frank Shell
don and Mrs. Jameson returned year OF
two ago from African travels. Mrs.
Sheldon came back an invalid from ner-

more fortunate. She went to get evil

band from aspersions cast upon it in the
controversy over the Stanley expedition,
and came back successful.

Lieutenant Peary did not start on his
expedition with the aim of attaining
the ''Farthest North That honor after

by the bold sailors of England, was cap

the North pole, in the region marked
Hazen Land on the map. There they
erected a stone cairc, deposited in it
tin case containing record of their jour-
ney and minimum thermometer, took
farewell glance over the frozen polar
sea that stretched towards the pole as
far as the eye could reach, and retraced
their steps along the rough shore.
Success to Peary meant that in his
work of penetrating towards the north

would probably reach a higher north, a

the northern coast of Greenland.

them. A plnG OF not Tea elcn ana d
square meal, made us feel as if we were
| the proprietors of palace, and though
the storm ragged "a hours longer, we
were comparatively comfortable
| Some of the night marches were mar
velously interesting. Speaking of one
| night, Peary says: "a peculiar phenom-
enon noticed during this march was the
| apparent sinking of large areas of snow
at intervals as we passed along, accom-
| panied by peculiar muffied reports which
| rumbled away beneath the crust in every
direction, until they died away; just as it
| happens when one is skating upon a
| freshly frozen lake in early winter
| The sky above was flawless blue, the
crimson sun in one direction, the yellow
moon opposite, and the plain on which
we travelled spread with diamond dust.
| At midnight the northern sky was a sea
of crimson light, and the snow lay bath
| ed in delicate shades of rose.'
The perils of this trip were almost en-
tirely confined to the getting on and off
ders. On coming back, Maigaard came
near losing his life by the caving in of a
| snow bridge over a deep chasm.
In returning to the coast they made
use of the heavy east winds to propel
| their sledges. By fastening two together
| they made catamaran. Therubber blan-
| ket was hoisted as sail. and Ratchet
| was fastened to stick and made to serve
as rudder. Upon this ice boat they
| made some very fast time.
This second expedition was much bet
| ter fitted out than the one of 1886; and
-catastrophies counted out-was well
| prepared, especially in the food supply.
| Mrs. Peary, when she thought over what
| they should have for dinners d uring
| those
Sunless Days of Last Winter,
had no market to fly to; but she had a
very good assortment of canned provis-
ions. The expedition took tea, coffee,
sugar and milk in quantity sufficient to
last two and half years; other supplies
| for year and half. But little meat
was taken, outside of the pemmican for
the sledge journey, as there was ex-
pected to be an abundance of reindeer,
ptarmigan, Arctic hares, foxes, ducks,
looms, seals and walrus. Special items
of interest, principally for the sledge
Journey, were as follows: Tea, com
pressed into one-fourth pound cakes, par
TALLY divided like chocolate, into one
fourth ounce squares. Each square,
when broken off and crumbled up would
make generous cup of tea.
