sometimes negotiate these leads by
opening up these thin edges and then
letting them freeze over and make a
bridge across.
Here is one of the pressure ridges,
of which L spoke. and this is the
way you have to negotiate them
First the route is selected and worked
fairly smooth with the pick axes, and
then the road is worked. as you see
in this picture, with four or five men
and dogs. Perhaps this will ac-
centuate the fact to you that that is
not the country for automobiles,
ponies or skates.
WORKING AROUND LEADS.
Here is party working their
sledges through rough ice, around the
end of one OF those leads, or open
water. The word "leads" seems to
confuse a great many people The
meaning is d lane or river of open
water. and its derivation is I'M
douhtedly from the whalers years ago
trying to force their way through that
ice, and when the ice opened out
through one of these cracks and gave
them a start, it was lead, utilizing
which they could go ahead in the
direction which they desired, and the
name has been appropriated since
then. -.
Here you see the process of taking
observations in the Polar Sea. A
box is put down; on that is placed
the musk OK skin, and upon that the
observer lies fiat on the face, resting
the elbows GA this skin, so with the
two hands placed that way, he can
hold the sextapt that way, and get
the decIination of the sun.
Here we have a picture of Capt.
Bartlett and his party just as they
are rigging up the sledge to return to
the land. and, looking at that single
sled, with a comparatively small
amount of SUPPLIES on it when you
look at that outfit I want you to know

SLEDGE JOURNEY BEGINS.

I stop at Cape Columbia just a
moment in the showing of the pictures
to outline to you the plan of the
campaign, the programme Of this
sledge Journey You have grasped
the fact although nothing has been
spoken of it specifically, that we re-
manned on the Roosevelt during the
winter. There was nothing else to
do It was impossible during this
winter to travel over the ice like that
where there is no trail. But in the
first returning light of another year,
which in that latitude comes in
February, we began our work to the
North. The first division began the
trip February Is and the last division
left one week later. In the interven-
ing time successive divisions left the
ship, so that when | got away on
February % there had left the ship
seven members of my party, nineteen
Eskimos. 40 dogs, twenty three sledges.
l had five other sledges at Cape
Columbia as the result of the fall and
winter work. l had also supplies at
Camp Columbia sufficient for 1870
men. so if necessary I could hew
every rod of the distance from
Columbia north, through the rough
ice which 1 knew it was possible l
might meet at Columbia
On the 28th day of February the
entire party was assembled. We had
everything in the way of equipment
and supplies which ! needed. The
sledges had been there, and equipment
of all kind repaired and fitted. The
sledges were allowed 500 pounds to
each sledge, not including the weight
of the sledge; and on the 28th day of
February Bartlett, in command of the
pioneer party, started to the north
The following day the rest of the
party started up, I bringing up the
rear of the division.
My plan was that this advance
team be pioneer party, four men
and two sledges, lightly loaded.
practically nothing on the sledges,
and the duty of that party was to set
the pace for the men behind. They
were to travel if necessary until they
dropped, each day but they were to
make march of ten, twelve, fourteen
or more miles, if they could, before
they stopped. This pioneer party
picked the trail. In saving picked,
I mean selected it through the rough
ice. making trail which the dogs of
the main party could follow. They
were forerunners of the main party !;
whatever distance they could make
we could make, even though our sleds
were heavily loaded. Why 2 Because

constructed as the Roosevelt it is
child's play. This is the character
of ice to be encountered in those mar
row channels, extending nOrthwardly
from Bat1n's Bay to the Central Polar
Sea.
Here we have a typical scene, a
ship forced in a narrow niche in the
solid land ice. which fr1nges all of
those Arctic shores.
This particular picture shows you
the Roosevelt at her last stop before
making the run which carried her to
her winter quarters at Cape Sheridan.
Reaching Cape Sheridan on the 9Th
day of Sep tember. on the 10th day of
September we began our autumn
sledging. The work of transporting
supplies from the ship to Cape
Columbia, ninety miles westward
that was the work that was to con-
sumo the remaining days of daylight.
You see here the first party start

days In that time we made the
entire circuit of the inlet, during
which time we took one reindeer and
one polar bear.
We have here some of the musk
oxen and you will see them rounded
up as they round up at the approach
of human or dogs, but such a round
up is a very poor defense against
Winchester repeating rifles.
NATURAL HISTORY STUDIES
This is not a wreck. 1t is simply
the way the Roosevelt appeared dur
ing the winter. During the winter
] occupied my time in making some
new and interesting studies of
animals, studies in natural historY.l
This is photograph of long-tail
duck which is found up TO the every
northern limits of the land, found all
along the shore of the polar sea in the
Western Hemisphere. They breed

clear up over to within $50 miles of
the pole.
Now we come to the larger speci
mems of natural history. We have
here a variety of small narwhal,
measuring is, Is, and possibly 20, feet
from nose to tail. The peculiar
point of interest about those animals
Is the peculiar spiral tusk. of purest
ivroy. which projects from their nose.
1t looks black in the picture, but
when it is polished it is just as white
as ivory can be. Those tusks are
anywhere from to s and at times 10
feet in length. The animal is sup
posed to be the original of the British
unicorn.
To give you an idea of how it is
up there will tell you that the mar
rowest point is only eleven miles
from shore to shore. It looks as If
one could put a rifle bullet across
there at times. Just a few miles
from where that turns were the
winter quarters Of the Roosevelt, and
the red line shows the line of our
Northern trip-first following the
northern coast to Cape Columbia. and
then travelling as the crow flies to
the pole itself.
Let me note for your information a
rather interesting fact that does not
show up on this map, but which
would be shown on an ordinary map
of North and South America, that
the meridian of Columbia, which is
the SEVENTEEN meridian, almost the
meridian of Washington, is the long
est axis of the Western Hemisphere.
1t cuts Cape Columbia, the most
northern of all the northern land
masses, and almost exactly cuts
Cape Horn, the southern point, and
the line of this expedition was simply
a continuation of the meridian of
Washington to the pole. l mention
this mersly as a matter of interest.
Here we have the four Eskimos
who formed my North Pole party.
They were not selected before [ left
the ship. There could be no selec-
tion. 1t was to be natural process
of selection as to the fittest. Here
is the one who had been with me for
six years in my various expeditions
next to him is his brother, who had
been with me for twelve years. and
Sea Gloo, who had been with me for
six years. At your right the shortest
one of the group and the youngest of
the lot, but by no means the least,
is the one who promised to be faith
full because of the reward, such as
rifles. shotgun and ammunition,
knives, swords and lumber. Those
things I promised him, and with
which, when he came back, he could
wrest from a stubborn father the

MAKING THE TRAIL.

MAKING The TRAIL
To give you an idea of the difference
in the work, saved by the pioneer
party, it took 10, 10 and sometimes
16 hours to cover the distance the
main party would cover in s. 10 and
IL hours.
Another important feature of the
plan of march was using the support
ing parties. That is not new device.
Supporting parties have been utilized
in Arctic expeditions for years. The
idea is this: That after party has
gone out certain distance, and a
certain amount Of supplies used up
there were then a number of useless
loads, men and dogs to feed. Don t
keep them with you; send them back
and get them out of the way. In this
way you get rid of all the useless.
surplus material, leaving the best of
the party TO make the final dash.
Fortunately the experiences and
circumstances in tbs particular ex-
petition inspired me to carry a mum
Der of supporting parties to an extent
which they were never carried before
in Arctic work. We had, in all,
four supporting parties, and the last
left at the 89th parallel, within 1870
miles of the pole.
But another important work Of the
supporting parties, and never used
before, was this: The first returning
supporting parties kept open the trail,
so as to enable the main party to
come back speedily, and with a
minimum of fatigue and exertion, in
this way: A strong wind for twelve
hours in any direction except north
will move the ice, crushing it up into
pressure ridges in one place and
opening out lanes of water in another
place.
Suppose the main party advances
for six or seven days and then a sup
porting party returns. In tho9e seven
days there has been a movement of
LuO lC0 anu lnCn bu6 IIdlA ID lhull -
just as a vein of coal may be faulty.
So the supporting party knits the
trail together and makes it continuous
Seven days farther out the second
supporting party turns back. That
party knits together the ends of the
trail, broken during those seven days
that they are going out, and when it
comes into the trail made by the
first supporting party it reknits that.
The third supporting party the same,
and the fourth the same, with the
final result that unless there has been
some severe and long continued storm
and main party, when it turns back,
has continuous trail to follow to
the land. That means that from so

START FROM CAPE COLUMBIA.

ent's time.
START FROM CAPE COLUMBIA.
Leaving Cape Colubm1a, my expedi-
tion comprised seven of our party.
seventeen Esquimos, nineteen sledges
and 1873 dogs. Seven dogs and two
Esquimos had gone out of commission
in the ninety mile journey to Cape
Columbia.
I am going to try to give you a
clear idea of what this sledge journey
was like, but I can not give all the
details. Seven marches fir I'm Columbia
we had reached 8415 degrees north
latitude, eighty-two miles in a
straight line. From these my first
supporting party came back, and
from there I went on with IS men.
| 10 sledges and 100 dogs.
What did it cost me to make those
first eighty-two miles? 1t had cost me
eight men. l mean the services of
eight men. We did not kill them
and they did not de- but it had taken
the payment of services of eight men,
seven sledges and thirty-three days to
carry us the first eighty two miles.
Five marches farther on we had
almost reached $50 degrees or,
degree more. There my second sup
porting party turned back, and from
there the party went with twelve
men, ten sledges and eighty dogs.
| Five marches farther the third
supporting party turned back-beyond
8615 degrees We had made more
than a degree in those five marches.
Five marches beyond that, again, the
fourth supporting party turned back,
practically from the 88th parallel,
and the party that went on from
there was six men, five sledges and
forty dogs. A simple sum in arith-
metic will tell you what it cost us to
carry that main party less than BOG
miles from land. Here is division
of the expedition, crossing the surface
of one of the big foes out there in
the polar sea.
Sometimes the surface of this is
covered with film of ice, which, by
rushing the sledge rapidly across can
be utilized as a bridge.
Here you have view of the other
type of lead, the older kind. You
will see the rough Ice to the right
and left. That lead had been perhaps
frozen over and then melted and it
left this frozen ice, and then the
lead had opened up again, and then
covered with thin film of ice, and
then opened up where you see the

had the trail made for them, making
them more ambitious.

trail without urging, and the snow
igloos built on the outward journey
