Within 700 Miles of the
Pole the Campaign Is
Finally Mapped Out

the drifting ice did not give much trouble.
A dilgent exploration of the town dis
closed the fact that we had reached not
only the northernmost town but the most
prosperous settlement Of the Greenland
shore. The best hunters had gathered
here for the winter bear hunt.
Their game catch had been very lucky.
Immense catches Of meat were strewn
along the shore. More than O hundred
dogs voiced the hunt force, with which
Eskimo prosperity is measured, and
twelve long haired wild men came out TO
meet us as friends.
The wealth in food and furs of this
place Fixed my determination on this spot
as base for the polar dash. We were
standing at point within seven hundred
miles of the pole. The strongest force of
men, the best teams Of dogs aud an un-
limited supply of food, combined with
the equipment on board the yacht, formed
an ideal plant from which to work out
the campaign. The seeming hopelessness
of the task had kind of weird fascina-
ton for me. Many years Of schooling
in both polar zones and in mountaineer'
ing would serve q useful purpose.
Conditions Right for Dash
Here was my chance. Here was every.
thing necessary, conveniently placed
within the polar gateway. The problem
was discussed with my colleague. Mr.,
Bradley generously volunteered to land
from the yacht the food, fuel and other
supplies we had provided for local use.
There was abundant traaing material 10
serve as money. q
My own equipment aboard for sledgc
travelling could be made TO serve every
purpose in the enterprise. The possible
combination left absolutely nothing to be
desired TO insure success.
Only good health, cndurable weather
aud wOrkable ice were necessary. The
expenditure Of million dollars could
not have placed an expedition at better
advantage. The opportunity was too
good to be lost. We therefore returned
to Etuh 10 prepare for the new quest
Strong efforts had been made 10 reach
the pole from every available quuEIer.
Only the angle between Alaska auu
Greenland had been left uptried. In ouc
prospective venture We ahmed 10 pierce
lnls area Of the globe.
If We failed in our main effort we would
ut least make u track over blank spot.
With the resources for transportation
which the Eskimos offered l hoped 10
carry ample supplies over Ellesmere Land
aud along the west coast OF the game land.
There was reason To suppose that we
would avoid the troublesome pack ag'
lated by the Greenland currents. Tue Es-
kimos were willing to trust TO the game
resources of this region TO feed and hre
the expedition en- route to the lands end
Splendid Advantages Onered'
II their faith proved correct 1t offered
me series Of advantages denied to every
other leader Of polar expeditions, for the
movement would not only be supplied at
the expense Of the land which 1t explored
but men and dogs would be taken to the
battle ground in superb training, with
their vigorous bodies hourished by whole

laboratory stun which is usually crowded
into the unwilling stomach.
Furthermore, II afforded me a chance to
test every article OF equipment In actual
field work, and, above all, after a hard
campaign of this kind could select with
some chance Of success the most likely
winners for the final race over the circum-
polar sea.
A compact was made with the little
men of the farthest north to push the
venture into the boreal centre. When II
was n0ised about at Etah that prepars-
ions acre in progress to try for the
pole most of the men on board the yacht
volunteered to serve.
Captain Bartlett. skipper Of the John
Il. Bradley, said that he also would like
TO stay, but If compelled TO return he
required at least cook aud an engineer
to take the yacht back to Newfoundland.
The situation was eased when the cap
tain was told that but one man was
wanted. No group of white men could
possibly match the Eskimo In his owp
element The willing hands Of tribe Of
25O people were at my disposal More
help was not required.

But there is no harbor near this village
to facilitate rapid landing of supplies,
and TO hasten the departure of the yacht
on her homeward run everything for ths
polar campaign was brought on deck
while the vessel was still at anchor Ia
Etah, aud below all was prepared for the
expected storms of the return voyage.
Starting for Annotook.
Late in the evening Of September the
entire village of Etah was taken aboard,
the anchor was tripped and soon the
Brealey's bow put Gus on the waters Of
Smith SQUAD for Annotook. The uight
was cold and clear, frightened by the
charm Of cg!or. The sun had just begun
to dip unaer gDe posthern horizon. which
marks the cad of the summer double days

IN the morning we were Oh Annotook.
The weather was now changed. A
