sity: Theodore de Boutiller, of Phila-
delphia, and DR.. John E. Walsh, of
Washington. At the time of sailing
hope was expressed that the party
would be back at st. Johns by the end
Of September and the arrival of the
steamer justifies the expectation.
,Peary and his companions have but
little to say regarding their expert
ences. he.overland expedition to In
dependence bay came very near re-
sulting fatally to Peary and the 9TH
er two. During the trip an unexpect-
ed contingency arose, owing to the
fact that Peary was unable to Ioca te
the cache of last year, which COM
PEELED the party to continue its jour
ney without ample food supplies
which it had reckoned on. The party
went at once on short rationS but be-
fore many days sufferings became in
tense and Lee broke down altogether.
All three owe their lives to shooting
eight musk oxen, but during the jour
ney they had to sacrifice the weaker
dogs and feed the flesh to the others,
for it was necessary to sustain some
Of the animals as long as possible to
enable the supplies and instruments
to be brought along. When the relief
expedition reached Anniversary lodge
the Peary party showed marked evil
dences of terrible experiences. PeaTy
was extremely non-committal in re-
gard to the expedition generally and
all the party declined to express an
opinion on the work done, nor would
any one state what new discoveries
had been made. .ri
