Prepare for SIedge Trip.

On September b the 1ull work of trans ferring supplies to Cape Columbia was naugurated. Marvin with Dr. Good sail and Borup and the Eskimos. took IS sledge loads of supplies to Cape Belknap and on the Eth the same party started wi:h loads to Porter bay.
 The work of hunting and transporting supplies was prosecuted continuously by the members of the party and the Eski- mos until November 5. when the sup plies for the spring sledge trip had been removed from winter quarters and de- posted at various places from Cape Co- Ian to Cape Columbia.
 The latter part of September the move ment of the ice subjected the ship to pressure which listed it to port some eight or ten degrees, and it did not re- cover till the following spring.
 On October 1 I went on a hunt with two Eskmos across the field and Pass bay and the peninsula, made the circuit of Clemants Markham inlet, and returned to the ship in seven days with 15 musk oxen, bear and a deer.
 Later in October I repeated the trip, obtaining five musk oxen. and hunting parties secured some 40 deer.

All Followed Him BIindIv.

All had blind confidence so long as I was with them, and gave no thought for the morrow, sure that whatever hap pened I should somehow get them back to land. But I dealt with the party equally I recognized that all it's i'm petus centered in me. and that whatever pace I set il would make good. If any one played out, I would stop for a short time.
 I had no fault to find with the condi- tions. 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 tluous ounce, and. what was better yet, they were all in good spirits.
 My sledges, now that the repairs were completed were in good condition. My supplies were ample for 40 days. and, with the reserve represented by the dogs themselves. could be made to last 50.
 At little after midnight of April l, after a few hours of sound sleep. I hit the trail. leaving the others to break up camp and follow.
 As I climbed the pressure ridge back of our igloos I set another hole in my belt, the third since I started. Every man and dog of us was lean and flat bpl1iel hOa rd and rd

Find Much Water.

AS we neared Cape Sabine the wealth CT cleared somewhat and we passed by Three Voort island and Cape Sabine, easily making out with the naked eye the house at Hayes harbor occupied by me in the winter of 1901-02.
 From Cape Sabine north there was so much water that we thought of set ting the lug sail before the southerly wind but a little later appearance of ice to the northward stopped this.
 There was clean open water to Cape Albert and from there scattered ice to a point about abreast of Victoria Head, thick weather and dense ice bringing us some ten or fifteen miles away.
 From here we drifted south somewhat and then got aslant to the northward out of the current. We worked a little further north and stopped again for some hours. Then we again worked westward and northward till we reached a series of lakes. coming to a stop a few miles south of the Wind wards winter quarters at Cape Dur ville
 From here after some delay. we slowly worked a way northeastward through fog and broken ice of medium thickness through one night and the forenoon of the next day, only emerg- ing into open water and clear weather Co

Gets Glimpse of Sun.

At noon of March the sun, red and shaped like a football by excessed re- fiection, just raised itself above the hori- zon for a few minutes and then disap- peared again. It was the first time I had seen it since October l.
 I now began to feel a good deal of anxiety because there were no signs of Marvin and Borup, who should have been there for two days. Besides, they had the alcohol and oil, which were in dispensable for us.
 We concluded that they had either lost the trail or were imprisoned on an is- land by open water, probably the latter.
 Fortunately. on March Il the lead was practicable and, leaving a note for Mar win and Borup to push on after us by forced marches, we proceeded northward. The sounding of the lead gave 110 fathoms.
 During this march we crossed the eighty-fourth parallel and traversed a succession of just frozen leads, from few hundred yards to a mile in width This march was really simple
 C.l the fourteenth we got free of the leads and came on decent going While We were making camp courier from Marvin came and informed me he was on the march in the rear. The temper ature was 59 below zero.
 The following morning. March l5 I sent Hansen with his division north to pio- neer a trail for five marches. and Dr. Goodsell. according to the program, start ed back 10 Cape Columbia.

Double Speed on Return.

As a matter of fact, we nearly did this, covering regularly on our return return marches.
 Just as long as we could hold the trail we could double our speed and we need waste no time in building new igloos every day. so that the time we gained on the return lessened the chances of a gale destroying the track
 Just above the eighty seventh paraI- Tel was a region some fifty miles wide which caused me considerable uneasi- ness. Twelve hours of strong easterly, westerly. or northerly wind would make this region an open sea.
 In the afternoon of the 7th we start ed on our return. having double fed the dogs, repaired the sledges for the last time and discarded all our spare clothing to tighten the loads

and we were on our way once more and across the eighty ninth parallel
 This march duplicated the previous one as to weather and going. The last few hours it was on young ice and Oc- casionally the dogs were galIoT lg.
 We made twenty-five miles or more. the air, the sky and the bitter wind burning the face till it cracked. It was like the great interior ice gap of Greenland. Even the natives com plaiued of the bitter air. It was as keen as frozen steel.
 A little longer sleep than the previ- ous one had to be taken here, as We were all in need of it. Then on again.
 Up to this time with each successive march. our fear of an impossible lead had increased. At every inequality of the ice I found myself hurrying breath lessly forward, fearing that it marked lead, and when 1 arrived at the summit would catch my breath with relief-only to find myself hurrying on in the same way at the next one.
 But on this march, by some strange shift of feeling, this fear fell from me completely. The weather was thick, but it gave me no uneasiness.
 Before 1 turned in I took an observa- tion which indicated our position as S9 degrees ? minutes
 A rise in temperature to 15 degrees be- low reduced the friction of the sledges and gave the dogs the appearance of having caught the spirits of the party. The more sprightly ones, as they went along with tightly curled tails frequent ly tossed their heads, with short. sharp barks and yelps.
 There was sign of lead in the march

Return on Roosevelt Begins.

These instructions were carried out and after their return in the latter part of May McMillan made some further tidal observations at other points. The sup plies remaining at the various caches were brought in and on July IS the Roosevelt left it's winter quarters and was driven out into the channel back of Cape Mon.
 It fought it's way south in the center of the channel and passed Cape Sabine on August s, or g days earlier than in 190S and g days earlier than the British expedition in 1876.
 We picked up Whitney and his party and stores at Etah. We killed seventy odd walrus for my Eskimos, whom landed at their homes. We met the Jeanie off Saunders island and took over it's coal and cleared from Cape York on August 26. one month earlier than in

and we hit the trail before midnight The weather and going were even bet ter. The surface except as interrupted by infrequent ridges. as level as the glacial fringe from Hecla to Colurl- bia, and harder
 We marched something over ten hours. the dogs being often on the trot and made 20 miles. Near the end of the march we rushed across lead 100 yards wide which buckled under our sledges and finally broke as the last sledge left it.
 We stopped in sight of the eighty ninth parallel in temperature of 40 degrees below. Again scant sleep
