Loss Is Serious One.

This early loss of Macmillan was seri-
ously disappointing to me. He had
sledge all the way from Cape Columbia.
and with his enthusiasm and the powers
and physique Of the trained athlete I
had confidence in him for at least the
S6th parallel, but there was no alterna-
tive.
The best sledges and dogs were select
ed and the sledge loads brought up to
the standard. The sounding gave q
depth of 325 fathoms.
We were over the continual shelf, and,
as I had surmised the successive leads
crossed in the fifth and sixth marches
composed the big lead and marked the
continual shelf.
On leaving the camp the expedition
comprised 16 men, II sledges and 100 dogs.
The next march was satisfactory as re-
CARDS distance and the character of the
going. In the latter part there were
pronounced movements in the ice, both
visible and audible.
Some leads were crossed, In one of
which Borup and his team took q bath,
and we were finally stopped by an i'm
practicable lead opening in front Of US.
We camped in a temperature of 80 de-
grees below
At the end of two short marches we
came upon Hansen and his party in
camp, mending their sledges. We de-
voted the remainder Of the day to over
hauling and mending sledges and break
ing up our damaged ones for material

Supplies Moved to Base.

In the February moon Bartlett went to
Cape Hecla, Goodsall moved some more
supplies from Hecla to Cape Colan, and
Borup went to Markham inlet on a hunt
ing trip. On February 15 Bartlett left
the Roosevelt with his division for Cape
Columbia and Parr bay.
Goodsall, Borup Macmillan and Han
sen followed on successive days with
their provisions. Marvin returned from
Cape Bryant on February II and left for
Cape Columbia on February q. 1 brought
up the rear on February %.
The total of all divisions leaving the
Roosevelt was seven members of the
party, SO Eskimos, 140 dogs and % sledges.

Bartlett Leads the Way.

On the last day Of February Bartlett,
with his pioneer division, accomplished
this, and his division got away due
north over the ice on March l. The rest
of the party got away on Bartlett's
trail, and 1 followed an hour later.
The party now comprised seven men,
bers of the expedition, II Eskimos, 1873
dogs and 10 sledges. One Eskimo and
seven dogs had gone to pieces.
A strong easterly wind, drifting
snow, and temperature in the minus
marked our departure from the camp at
Cape Columbia, which 1 had christened
Crane City. Rough ice in the first march
damaged several sledges and smashed
two beyond repair. the teams going back
to Columbia for other sledges in reserve

Ship Forced Aground.

We lay for some time In lake Of
water, and then, to prevent being drift
ed south again, took refuge under the
north shore of Lincoln bay, in nearly
the identical place where we had our
unpleasant experiences three years be-
fore Here we remained for several
days during a period CT constant and
at times violent northeasterly winds.
Twice we were forced aground by
the heavy ice; we had our port quar-
ter rail broken and hole stove in the
bulwarks, and twice we pushed out in
an attempt to get north, but were
forced back each time to our precari-
ous shelter

Make Ready for Dash.

By February q such Of the Cape Colan
depot as was needed had been brought
up to Cape Columbia, the dogs were
rested and double rationed and harnessed
and the sledges and other gear over
hauled.
Four months of northerly winds during
the fall and winter instead of souther-
ly ones, as during the previous season,
led me to expect less open water than
before, but a great deal of rough ice, and
1 was prepared to hew a road through
the jagged ice for the first hundred miles
or SO, then cross the big lead.

Macmillan Turns Back.

At night Marvin and Borup came spin
ming In with their men and dogs steam
ing in the bitter air like squadron of
battleships. Their arrival relieved me
of all anxiety as to our oil supply.
In the morning discovered that Mac
Millan's foot was badly frost bitten. The
mishap had occurred two or three days
before, but Macmillan had said nothing
about it in the hope that it would come
out all right.
A glance at the injury showed me that
the only thing was to send him back to
Cape Columbia at once The arrival Of
Marvin and Borup enabled me to spare
sufficient men and dogs to go back with
him

During the last few miles walked
beside him or in advance. He was SOL
emn and anxious to go further, but the
program was for him to go back from
here in command of the fourth sup
porting party, and there were no sup
plies for an increase in the main party.
In this march we encountered high
wind for the first time since the three
days after we left Cape Columbia. It
was dead in our faces. bitter and in
sistent. but I had no reason to com
plain. it was better than an easterly
or southerly wind, either of which
would have set us adrift in open wa
ter, while this was closing up every
lead behind.
This furnished another ADVANTAGE of
my supporting parties. True, by SO
doing it was pressing to the south the
ice over which we travelled, and so rob-
bling US of a hundred miles Of advan-

to save my eyes, but largely to give
an independent record and determine

The observations completed and two
copies made, one for him and the other

cut down by the last two short ones.
Marvin carried out his instructions i'm
plicitly. A considerable amount Of young
Ice assisted in this.
At the end of the tenth march, latitude
1923, Borup turned back in command Of
the second supporting party, having trav-
eled distance equivalent to Nansen's
distance from this far to his farthest
north.
1 was sorry to lose this young Yale
runner, with his enthusiasm and pluck.
He had led his heavy sledge over the
foes in a way that commanded every
ones admiration and would have made
his fathers eyes glisten.

Temporarily Discouraged.

1 came upon Bartlett and his party,
tagged out and temporarily discouraged
by the heartracking work of making
road.
I knew what was the matter with
them. They were simply spoiled by the
good going on the previous marches 1
rallied them a Bit lightened their sledges
and sent them on encouraged again.
During the next march we travelled
through thick haze drifting over the
Ice before biting air from the north
east. At the end Of the march we came
upon the captain camped beside a wide
open lead with a dense black water sky
northwest, north and northeast.
The next march was also a long one.
1t was Bartlett's last hit. He let him
self out over series of large old foes,
steadily increasing in diameter and
covered with hard snow

Chances His Plan.

From this point the expedition COM
prised 20 men, 10 sledges, and 70 dogs. 1t
was necessary for Marvin to take 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 I re-
manned with our division 20 hours long
er and then followed. When we reached
Bartlett's camp he broke out and went
on and we turned in. By this arrange
ment the advance party was travelling
while the main party was asleep, and
vice versa, and 1 was in touch with my
advance party every "a hours.

Moves ExpeditiousIy.

I had no reason to complain Of the
going for the next two marches, though
for less experienced party, less adapt
able sledges, or less perfect equipment it
would have been an impossibility.
At our position at the end of the sec
ond march, Marvin obtained a satisfac-
tory sight for latitude in clear weather,
which placed us at S5.48. The result
agreed satisfactorily with the dead reck-
oning of Marvin, Bartlett and myself.
Up to this time, the slight altitude Of
the sun had made 1t not worth while to
waste time in observations.
On the next two marches the going i'm
proved, and we covered good distances.
In one of these marches a lead delayed
us few hours. We finally ferried across
the ice cakes.

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 6.3S Cor beyond the farth-
est north of Nansen and Abruzzi, and
showed that we had covered so minutes
Of latitude in three marches.
In these three marches we had passed
the Norwegian record of 1914, by Nan
sen, and the Italian record of 1884, by
Cagni.
From this point Marvin turned back 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.

JACKSON, Miss, September %
Thus far the dairy establishments en-
gagged in supplying the milk and but.
ter trade of Jackson have not shown
a willingness to comply with the re-
quest of DR.. S. H. Mclean, secretary
of the state health board, to have
tuberculin tests applied to their cattle.
Several days ago the Elon dairy
had tests made, and DR.. B. NJ. Mills,
veteran, discovered eighteen head of
cattle in herd of 80 afflicted with
tuberculosis. The condemned animals
were promptly removed from the herd.
Immediately after report of this in
spection was made DR.. Mclean sug-
gested that all dairy establishments
have similar inspections made, and
unless the request is complied with
it is likely that the city council will
enact an ordinance forbidding the sale

If the local authorities want to stop

and curing catarrh.
You can easily tell by reading the
symptoms beyow whether you have
catarrh or not:
Offensive breath, frequent sneezing,
discharge from nose. stoppage of the
nose, huskiness of the voice, tickling
in throat, droopings in throat, .
cough, pain in chest, loss of strength.
variable appetite, spasms Of cough
ing, low spirited at times, raising of
mucous, difficult in breathing, loss Of

Hays & Field have a sensible RENE
| dy (money back if it falls) for ca
tarrh, called Hyomei, which is a va
porized air so antiseptic that when It
is breathed over the inflamed and
germ-infested membrane, it kills all
germ life and cures catarrh.
The price, including hard rubber in
haler, is only s1.00, and money back
if it doesn't cure. Extra bottles, so
cents.
