ST. JOHNS, N. F., Sept. 5.-The steamer
Falcon returned to this port this afternoon
from Bowdoin bay, West Greenland, hav-
ing successfully accomplished the landing
of the Peary expedition at that place. The
Falcon left here July Is bound for Labra-
dor to purchase the dogs necessary for the
success of the expedition. She arrived at
Battle Harbor on the 18th and bruised
aeik, Hopedale, Okek and Cape Mueford,
meeting with but Indifferent success in the
purchase of dogs, and after getting only
twenty left Labrador. On tie 22d she
reached the Greenland coast and on the
9th four donkeys belonging to the expe-
dition persisted of exposure.
The Falcon sailed along the Greenland
coast, calling at Holstsinbsrg, Disko, Uper-
navik, Cape York, Holsteinhohe and
Dalrymple, getting the balance of the dogs
needed, q greater number being necessary
because of the loss of the donkeys. Alto
gether the party got eighty-seven dogs.
At Cape York Lieutenant Peary got Ave
native Esquimeaux to assist in caring for
the dogs and to do general work. The
Falcon arrived at her destination on Au-
gust 3. The voyage was fairly pleasant, as
little ice and no bergs were encountered.
The Falcon made the passage across Mel
Vile bay in twenty four hours and fifty
minutes. This ia the quickest trip made
across the bay by eleven hours.
On reaching her destination the Falcon
cast anchor in harbor selected and chris
tened by Lieutenant Peary as Falcon har-
Dor, thirty miles north of his former
headquarters. The party Immediately be-
gan landing the stores and the house.
The house was Immediately set up, after
about it. August 10 the ship started north
on a walrus hunt, Mrs. Peary, Entrekin
and Vincent accompanying her, to get
enough walrus to supply the dogs with
winter food. They spent four days On
the ship and got beyond L!ttleton Island,
eighty miles north, and then went within
fifteen miles of Cape Sabine, when An ice
pack was met with, and, being impene-
trable, the ship was forced to return.
Thirty one walrus were killed, their edi-
BILE meat weighing twenty-five tons. The
party reached their headquarters on the
18th and landed the meat and the few
stores that had not been taken from the
ship before.
The Falcon started on her return. Then
the house was nearly completed and the
party was living in 1t. There were several
men employed daily in carrying stores
from the headquarters to an interior ice
camp, where they were cached in readiness
for the great inland expedition next
spring. The work was very difficult and
only one trip could be made daily even
with the burros and dogs. The remainder
of the party were engaged in painting the
house and arranging the stores.
It was found that the house used by the
last expedition had been blown down and
used for various purposes by the natives.
A whole colony of natives living in Ingle-
field Gulf mo-ed near Lieutenant Peary to
remain with him during his stay.
Lieutenant Peary proposes to occupy the
time till winter in exploring the adjacent
country, and Immediately on the opening
of spring will start on his great overland
journey across Greenland to the northern
point reached by him last year on indie
pendence bay. Thence he will proceed
as far north as it Is possible to get, even to
the pole itself, though this part of the
plan Is likely to be abandoned, as he has
main until 1895, as was his intention. 1t
has been definitely settled that the Falcon
will return for him next year.
Exhaustive inquiries concerning Ber-
hoeff. who was supposed to have been
killed last year by falling into crevasse,
were made by the party, but nothing could
be learned of him, and now no doubt re
mains as to his fate. Search was also
made for the two scientists, Kelstermuns
and Djorling, who left here early last year
In the schooner Ripple to explore Smiths
sound. Nothing was known of them at
any of the points touched, SO II is probable
that they and two of the four men were
all drowned.
The Falcon made a good passage and
arrived here without injury. The passage
was unaccompsnfed by any special Incl
dent. All the party were we'll and in good
spirits when che left. One incident of this
expedition will be the birth of a child.
Late in September Mrs. Peary Is expected
to become a mother. 1t will ba the only
white child ever born 30 far north.

next year ia as follows; Lieutenant Peary

Peary's maid; DR.. E. Vincent, surgeon; s
