LIEUT.. BRAINERD's VIEWS.
lie Has No Faith I'm the Success of the
Nansen ExpedftfOn.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 13.-Dr. Nansen,
according to Lieut.. Davis L. Brainerd, u.
s. A., who accompanied the Greedy ex-
petition as subsistence officer, bases his
theory of the current which he relied on to
carry him through the Arctic regions on
the fact that the trend of the Jeanette was
generally in the direction of the pole, and
that pieces of driftwood, ETC., have been
found on the east and west coast of
Greenland and along the east coast of Elles-
mere and Grinnell Lann, which, from their
appearance and character, seem to indicate
that they had drifted from the Siberian
coasts. Other articles such as large stop
per or plug for powder horn a coasting
stick, a cane, ETC., evidently the work Of
Alaskan Indians, have also been found in
the same places. Therefore, the suppostion
was advanced that they drifted across the
around Cape Farewell and up into Baffin's
bay and Smiths sound. 1t was also recalled
by Lieutenant Brainerd that the relics of
the Jeanette, left on the ice at the time
the west coast of Greenland, near Julian's
Head, and to have reached there 1t was
estimated, the relics must have drifted at
the rate of about three miles a day. But"
to have disregarded, or. at all events taken
his chances on one important factor, the
battling and uncertain nature of the
rent fiow about which nothing is definitely
known. 1 believe that not only will the
Nansen expedition prove a failure, but that
it will end in disaster. ] think it doubtful
whether DIR. Nansen will ever be heard
from. / think ne has, had too little expert
ence to cope with the difhculties he will
inevitably encounter, and especially with
the ice"
