Mr.. Gushue, the mate, who was In
charge of the Roosevelt during the abb

and Boatswain Murphy, who was put
in charge of the station at Etah for
the relief of Cook, were both trust
worthy and reliable men, and count
myself fortunate in having had them

firemen were distinct improvement

JOY OF THE EskIMos.
From here we followed the captains

passed up the vertical edge of the
glacier fringe, little west of Cape

When the last sledge came up
thought my Eskimos had gone crazy.
They yelled and called and danced
themselves helpless. AS Ootah sat
down on his sledge he remarked, in
Eskimo:

trouble with his wife, or we never
should have come back so easily"

Crane City, under the bluffs of Cape
Columbia, and, after putting four
pounds of pemmican into each of the
faithful dogs to keep them quiet, we
had, at last, our chance to sleep.

Never shall forget that sleep at
Cape Columbia. 1t was sleep, sleep,
