1t was a fine morning. The wind of

going was the best and most equable

rounded by pressure ridges, some of
which were almost s~tupendous.

Makes Record Run,

The next day Bartlett let himself out,
evidently, for a record, and reeled off 20
miles. Here Marvin obtained another
satisfactory sight on latitude, which gave
the position as 86.3s Cor beyond the farth-
est north of Nansen and Abruzzi), and
showed that we had covered 30 minutes
of latitude in three marches.
In these three marches we had passed
the Norwegian record of S6.14, by Nam
sen, and the italian record of 1894, by
Cagni.
From this point Marvin turned bach in
command of the third supporting party.
My last words to him were: BE care
full of the leads, my boy"
The party from this point comprised
nine men, seven sledges, and so dogs,
The conditions at this camp and the ap-
parently unbroken expanse Of fairly level
ice in every direction reminded me of
Cagni's description of his farthest north.

From this point the expedition COM
prised 20 men, 10 sledges, and 70 dogs. It
was necessary for Marvin to AXE a
sledge from here, and 1 put Bartlett
and his division in ADVANCE to pioneer
the trail.
The continual daylight enabled me to
make a moderation here that brought my
advance and main parties closer together
and reduced the likelihood of their be-
ing separated by open leads.
After Bartlett left camp with Hender-
son and their division, Marvin and / re-
manned with our division 20 hours long

Bartlett's camp he broke out and went

All Followed Him BIindIv.

All had blind confidence so long as
| was with them, and gave no thought
for the morrow, sure that whatever hap
pened l should somehow get them back
to land. But I dealt with the party
equally. I recognized that all its i'm
petus centered in me, and that whatever
pace l set 1t would make good. If any,
one played out, 1 would stop for a short
time.
I had no fault to find with the condi-
tons. My dogs were the best, the pick
Of 122 with which we left Columbia. AL
most all were powerful males, hard as
nails, in good flesh, but without a super
fuous ounce, and, what was better yet.
they were all in good spirits.
My sledges, now that the repairs were
completed, were in good condition. NV
supplies were ample for 40 days, and.
with the reserve represented by the dogs
themselves, could be made to last 50.
AT a little after midnight of April /.
after a few hours of ound sleep, I hit
the trail, leaving the others to break
up camp and follow.
As l climbed the pressure ridge back
or our igloos l set another hole in my
belt, the third since I started. Every

Bartlett Did Good Work.

When he left 1 felt for a moment
pangs of regret as he disappeared in
the distance, but 1t was only momen-
tary. My work was still ahead, not in
the real.
Bartlett had done good work and had
been a great help to me. Circumstances
had thrust the brunt of the pioneering
upon him instead of dividing 1t among
several, as l had planned.
He had reason to take pride in the
fact that he had bettered the Italian
record by a degree and a quarter and
had covered a distance equal to the
entire distance of the italian expedi-
ton from Franz Josef's land to Cagni's
farthest north.
l had given Bartlett this position and
post of n in command of nv
Fourth and last supporting party, and
for two reasons: first, because of his
magnificent handling Of the Roosevelt:
second, because he had ch%eerfully stood
between me n many trifling annoy-
ances on the expeditions.
Then there was a third reason. II
seemed to me appropriate in view of
the magnificent British record of arc
tic work. covering three centuries. that
it should be a British subject who
could boast that, next to an American,
he had been nearest the pole.
Ready for Final Effort.
With the disappearance of Bartlett l
turned to the problem before me. This
was that for which 1 had worked for %
years, for which I had lived the simple
life; for which I had conserved all my
energy on the upward trip; for which
| had trained myself as for a race, crush
ing dow every worry about success.

CAPTAIN AND MRS. POURIE.
The season of teas and receptions
seems fairly begun, thinking Of the
elaborate tea given att he st. Francis
yesterday by Mrs. j. r. Pourie, wife
of Captain Pourie, U. S. A, and the
reception to be given this afternoon
at the home of Mrs. Selden S. Wright
but both events have an atmosphere
of informality about them that betrays
the fact that they are still of the sum-
mer variety. The tea at which Mrs
Pourie presided was in compliment to
, Mrs. Sterling P. Adams, who leaves in
a few days, accompanied by Captain
Adams, for a long visit to her family
home in the South Captain Pourie
sailed few days ago for Honolulu

few weeks to join him and to remain
for an indefinite stay. Meanwhile she
will travel through the state and leav-
es this evening for Del Monte, where
she will enjoy brief visit before
returning to town for final visit with
her friends here. The tea yesterday for
Mrs. Adams was one of the prettiest
affairs of the late season and a score
of guests enjoyed the hospitality of
the hostess on this occasion and had
an opportunity of saying au revoir to
the complimented guest. The table
decorations were yellow cereopsis in
termingled with sprays of maidenhair
fern and a gorgeous centerpiece of the
yellow and green made an effective
adornment with the yellow-shaded
