Describing the return journey, DR..
Cook said:
Fortune now smiled. We did
twenty miles per day until we reached
the ominous eighty-seventh degree.
Then | felt the ice moving eastward,
carrying us with It. A terrible fog
swept around us and kept us for three
weeks. We got no further than the
eighty-fourth degree. Then began a
heavy walk toward Helbergsland and
another three weeks OF fog. When that

west to Rinsnesland, where we found
open water and tower-high screw ice,
which stopped our way eastward.
1--WE now began to suffer hunger
Our provisions were becoming ex'
hausted and we were unable to find
depots. We entered Ringnesland and
on June 90 found the first animals OF
our return-bear and seal. We shot a
bear.
=" And now our goal was the whal-
ers at Lancaster Sound. We followed
the drift ice to the south.
We were stopped by pack ice in
Wellington channel, which was impas-
sable either by boat or sledge.
=" Here was lots of game, but We
did not dare shoot it. We had only
taken 100 bullets to the pole, and now
only fifteen were left. We went into
and found open, calm water. We met
polar wolves. with which some of our
dogs made friends and ran away.
" Now we spent day and night in
an open boat ten miles from shore.
This lasted for two months, while
storms often ragged over our heads. At
last we got ashore again. but we had
no fuel and were obliged to eat un-
cooked food. Next day we found fuel,
and what feast we had. But we suf-
fered much hunger during this period.
One night bear came and stole our
food. We had many fights with musk
oxen which attacked us. Our best
weapon against them was the lassoo."

DR.. Cook as saying in conclusion:

the Governor, stationed with other
dignitaries on a special stand on the
King street side of the childrens plat
form, setting the example. In the
crowd on the King street side it was
noticed that everybody near the stand
had hats off, and it was found later
that several gentlemen there had start
ed little missionary work by telling
their careless neighbors, of various
nationalities, the significance of the
song. Hats came off the heads of
many who did not understand, simply
because they we're told to take them on
and SO the movement spread.
Everything was over by 10:45
O'Clock and the solid body of regulars
and militia in the public square broke
in splendid order and returned to the
various headquarters of the troops.
The greatest unanimity marked the
day among those who had arrange
ments in hand and the event of the
morning was in every manner an ex-
hibition that will long be remember
ed by the people, citizens and other
wise. To citizens it was glorious. To
aliens it was impressive. There was
much curiosity manifested among re-
sidents who are not citizens; it SEEM
ed that they did not want to miss
anything of the doings
No unpleasant incident marred the
celebration. Those who did not see
the procession, nor enjoy the exercises
at Palace Square may be consoled in
the fact that ten days from today,
on Washington Birthday, there will
be still greater parade in which the
Federal troops will participate, though
on that occasion there will be as much

INCIDENTS OF THE PARADE

During the parade the cars of the
Rapid Transit on King street were
stalled, as was expected. Some folks
sought positions of vantage on the
roofs of cars, but were discouraged in
asmuch as such seats were likely to
be dangerous to careless folks.
Wherever the parade went the
streets were crowded; this, at first
flush, would be taken to indicate that
there were more than ten thousand
people out to see the procession; but
the fact is explained by the crowds
quickly moving from place to place.
A portrait of Abraham Lincoln
adorned the foremost platform in the
arrangements at Palace Square.
The Marines were a small procession
in themselves as they marched from
Camp Very early this morning to join
the procession at the drillshed. So
were the Fort Shafter men and
the Fifth Cavalry as they came into
town from Fort Shafter.
TONIGHT'S PROGRAM.
The days celebration is not yet
over This evening at the Opera House
there will be such literary and must
cal exercises as will fittingly termin-
ate the observancseof Lincoln Day.
Governor Frear and his staff, the
Consular Corps in uniform, members
of the Supreme, Federal and Circuit
Courts and officers of the Army and
Navy, and other dignitaries, together
with those to take part in the pro-
gram, will be seated on the stage, as
will also be the heads of schools and
Federal and Territorial and City and
County departments, prominent div
ines and other men of distinction, in
view of the audience.
