The season was further advanced

The work Of discharging the ship
was commenced at once and rushed
to completion. The supplies and

During this march we crossed the
eighty-fourth parallel and traversed a
succession of just frozen leads. from
a few hundred yards to a mile in
width. This march was really simple.
On the fourteenth We got free of the
leads and cane on decent going.

he was on the march in the rear The
temperature was ~ below zero.

relieved me of all anxiety as to our
oil supply.
In the morning ! discovered that
MacMillan's foot was badly frost bit
ten. The mishap. had occurred two
or three days before, but Macmillan
had said nothing about it in the hope
that 1t would come out all right.
A glance at the injury showed me
that the only thing was to send him
back to Cape Columbia at once. The
arrival of Marvin and Borup enabled
me to spare sufficient men and dogs
to go back with him.
LOSS is SERIOUS ONE.
This early loss of Macmillan was
seriously disappointing to me. He had
a slcdge all the way from Cape Col.
umbia. and with his enthusiasm and
the powers and physique of the trained
athlete | had confidence in him for at
least the seth parallel, but there was
no alternative.
The best sledges and dogs were &C.
lected and the sledge loads brought up
to the standard. The sounding gave a
depth Of 325 fathoms.
We we're over the continual shelf,
and, as | had surmised, the successive
leads crossed in the fifth and sixth
marches composed the big lead and
marked the continual shelf

there we're pronounced movements in

Some leads were crossed. in one of
which Borup and his team took a
bath, and we were finally stopped by
an impractieablS lead opening in front
OF US. We camped IN a temperature
ot 80 degrees below.
At the end Of two short marches we
came upon Hansen and his party in
camp, mending their sledges. We de-
voted the remainder of the day to
overhauling and meuding sledges and
breaking up our damaged ones for
material.

DEATH OF JOHN 3. GRAHan.
Passed Away at Ills :Home on Duke
Street Sunday Niohi.

After a lingering illness Of long
duration, John B. Graham, well
and favorably known in Durham.
breathed his last Sunday night
about z o'clock, surrounded by
his family and friends.
Mr.. Graham was 40 years of
age and leaves a wife and four
children-three boys and one
girl.
John Graham was known in
Durham by almost every one and
wherever he went he made
friends. When Durham was a
small town John Graham was
known here. Many years ago
he went to Greensboro, where he
accepted a position with the
Southern railway. This position
he held until a few years ago he
came to Durham as the agent of
the Southern, which position he
held until his health became such
that he was compelled to resign.
For many months he has been
here, among the many warm
friends that he made, struggling
to regain his health, and at times
it almost seemed he was to be
successful, but death would not
relinquish its claim.
The funeral was conducted
from the Memorial M. E. Church
this afternoon at 2::3O o'clock,
Revs. M. Bradshaw and E. r.
Leyburn conducting the services,
after which the interment took
place in Maplewood cemetery.
