Marvin left Peary March &c, on his
way to the pole, to return tn the ship.
He had with him two Eskimos and
Il dogs. The story of the professors
death was obtained from one of the
Eskimos. April 10 Marvin was a.
miles from Cape Columbia. He start
ed out that morning walking ahead.
The Eskimos were delayed in packing
the sledges. fact that permitted
Marvin To get Il good start on them.
When the Eskimos arrived at am
open lead they noticed that the ice
was broken about - yards out and
they saw what looked like Il man =
body floating in the center Of the
lead. Owing tn the treacherous con-
dltlon Of the ice, the Eskmas could
not venture out. They returned To
the Roosevelt and reported.
Captain Raxlett then went hack to
the point they designated and re-
covered Professor Marvin's spare
boots. clothing and personal belong
