THE auxiliary party made trip to Files

for traces Of the lost Swedish explorers
Bjorling and Kalstenius. They found some
relics Of them and the skeleton of a man
on the Carey Islands. probably a sailor.
They found no trace Of the lost explorers
at Cape Faraday or Clarence Head on
Ellesmere Land, where it was hoped by the
friends Of the explorers that they had taken
refuge. Jones sound, south of Ellesmere
Land was blocked with ice, and it was i'm
possible to push into it, SO no explora tons
could be made in that direction
Mrs. Peary will return home with q
daughter, aged one year. and accompanied
by an Eskimo nurse from Bowdon bay.
I shall make arOther attempt on the ice

me good service throughout my sojourn in
northwest Greenland, and 1 believe I will

Lieut.. Peary and Lee were the first white
men to see, locate and measure the me-

they will bring home next year. Mr.. En-

was one year old last Wednesday. with an

this impossible. He left, the ship on Tues
