on successive days with their provi
sions. Marvin returned from Brv.
ants on February H. and left for Cape
Columbia February 81. / brought up

The total of all divisions leaving the
Roosevelt were seven members of the
party, 80 Eskimos. 140 dogs and %
slcdges. BY February 81, such of the
Cape Colan depot as was needed had
been brought up to Cape Columbia
the dogs were rested and double ra.

Prepared to Hew Way.
Four months of northerly winds dur,
ing he fall and winter instead OF
southerly ones, as during the previous
'ason. led me to expect less open wa,
ter than before, but a great deal of
rough ice, and | was prepared to hew
q road through the Jagged ice for the
first hundred miles or so and then
cross III" Big Lead.
On this last day of February Bart.
lett and his pioneer division accom-
plishcd their work and his division got
away due north over the ice on March
l. The remainder Of the party got
away on Bartlctt's trail and l followed
an hour later.
TIL" party now comprised seven
members Of the expedition. II Eski,
mos, 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 had christ
ened 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 there.
Borup Misses Trail.
We camped ten miles from Crane
City. The casterly wind and low TEN
perature continued. On the second of
March we passed the British Record
made by Markham in May. 1S76-822O
and were stopped by open water
which had been formed by the wind
after Bartlett passed. In this march
we negotiated the lead and reached
Bartlctt's third camp. Borup had gone
back from here, but missed his way
owing to the faulting Of the trail by
the movement of the ice.
Marvin came back also for more
supplies. The wind continued forming
open water all about US. At the end
of the fourth of March we came upon

horizon for few minutes and then
disappeared again. 1t was the first

Anxious About Marvin.
now began to feel a coed deal of
anxiety because there we're 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 island by open wa
ter, probably the latter. Fortunately,
on March II. the lead was practicable
and leaving note for Marvin and
Borup to push on after us, by forced
marches, we proceeded northward.
The sounding Of the lead gave 10
fathoms. During this march, we
crossed the Saith parallel and trayersed
succession Of just frozen leads from
q few hundred yards to a mile IN
width. This march was really simple.
On the fourteenth We got free OF the
leads and came on decent grounds.
While we were making way. a courier
from Marvin appeared and informed
me he was on the march In the rear.
The temperature was 80.
