and we were on our way once more
and across the eighty ninth parallel.
This march duplicated the previous
one as 60 weather and going. The last
few hours u was on young ice and oc-
casionally the dogs were galloping.
We made twenty-five miles or more

Greenland. Even the natives COM

keen as frozen steel
a little longer sleep than the previ-
Gus one had to be taken here. as we
were all In need OF IT, Then on again
Up TO this time, with each successive
march, our fear OF an impossible lead
had increased. Al every inequality Of
tho ice found myself hurrying breath
lessly forward, fearing that II marked a
lead, and when ! arrived at the summit
would catch my breath with relief-only
to find myself hurrying on in the same
way at the next one.
But on this march, by some strange
shift OF feeling, this fear fell from me
completely. The weather was thick. but
II gave me no uneasiness.

At noon OF March the sun. red and

peared again. IL was the first time had
seen II since october L
l now began 10 feel a good deal OF
anxiety because there were 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. r.I
We concluded that they had either lost
the trail OF were imprisoned on an is
land by open water. probably the latter.
Fortunately. on March II the lead was
practicable and. leaving a note for Mar
vim and Borup 10 push on after US by
forced marches. we proceeded northward.
Tho sounding of the lead gave 10
fathoms.
During this march we crossed the
eighty fourth parallel and traversed a
succession OF just frozen leads. from a
few hundred yards 90 a mile Ia width
This march was really simple
On the fourteenth we got free OF the
leads and came on decent going. While

Little Trouble in Leads.

South OF where Marvin had turned
back we came TO where his party had
built several igloos while delayed by
open leads. sun further south we
found where the captain had been held
up by an open lead and obliged to
camp
Fortunately the movement OF these
leads was simply open and shut. and IL
took considerable water motion to fault
the trail seriously.
While the captain, Marvin. and as I
found later, Borup. had been delayed
by open leads. we seemed TO bear a
charm aud with no single lead wefe we
delayed more than a couple of hours
Sometimes the ice was fast and firm
enough TO carry us across; sometimes
a short detour sometimes a brief halt
for the lead TO close. sometimes an i'm
provised ferry on an ice cake. kept the
trail without difficulty down 10 the
tenth outward march.

the distance. but II was only momen-
tary My work was still ahead. not in
the rear.
Bartlett had done good work and had
been great help TO me Circumstances
had thrust the brunt OF the pioneering
upon him instead OF dividing II among
several. as had planned.
lie had reason to take pride in the
fact that he had bettered the Italian
record by a degree and a quarter and
had covered distance equal to the
entire distance OF the Italian expedi-
tion from Franz Josefs land TO Cagnis
fsrthest north.
had given Bartlett this position and
post OF honor In command of my
fourth and last supporting party. and
for two reasons: first. because OF his
magnificent handling OF the Roosevelt:
second. because he had cheerfully stood
between me and many trihing annoy
snces on the expeditions.
Then there was a third reason. II
seemed to me appropriate in view of
the magnificent British record of arc
tic work. covering three centuries, that
IL should be n British subject who
could boast that. next TO an American
he had been nearest the pole.

During the next march We Travelled
through a thick haze drifting over the
ice before a biting air from the north

upon the captain camped beside u wide
open lead with a dense black water sky

Shocked by Marvin's Death.

We reached Hecla in one march and
the Roosevelt in another. When we
got to the Roosevelt I was staggered by
the news Of the fatal mishap to Marvin.
He had either been less cautious or less
fortunate than the rest of US, and his
death emphasized the risk TO which we
all had been subjected. for there WAS not
one Of US but had been In the sledgs at
some time during the journey.
The big lead. cheated OF its prey three
years before. had at last gained its HUI
man victim.
The rest can be told quickly. Mcmillan
and Borup had started for the Green
land coast TO deposit caches for me. Be-
fore I arrived a flying Eskimo courier
from me overlook them with instructions
that the caches were no longer needed
and they were TO concentrate their ener-
giles on the ideal observations. etc. az

Sleep Finally in Safety.

Never shall I forget that sleep at Cape
Columbia. IL was sleep. sleep, then turn
over and sleep again. We slept glorious
ly, with never a thought OF the morrow
or having to walk and, too, with no
thought that there was to be never Q
night more OF binding headache.
Cold water TO a parched throat Is moth
ing compared with sleep to a numbed,
fatgued brain and body.
Two days we spent here in sleeping and
drying our clothes. Then for the ship.
Our dogs. like ourselves. had not been
hungry when we arrived, but simply life
less with fatigue. They were different
animals now, and the better ones among
them swept on with tightly curled tails
and uplfted heads and their hind legs

larify

Double Speed on Return.

As matter of fact. we nearly did
journey five outward marches in three
return marches.
Just as long as we could hold the
trail we could double our speed. and
we need waste no time in building
new igloos every day. so that the time
we gained on the return lessened the
chances OF gale destroying the track
Just above the eighty-seventh paral-
lei was region some fifty miles wide
which caused me considerable uneasi-
ness. Twelve hours of strong easterly,
westerly. or northerly wind would
make this region an open sea.
In the afternoon OF the 9TH we start

the dogs. repaired the sledges for the
last time. and discarded all our spare
clothing TO tighten the loads

From this point the expedition COM
prised 20 men. 10 sledges. and 20 dogs. IL
was necessary for Marvin TO take
sledge from here. and put Bartlett
and his division In advance 10 pioneer

The continual daylight enabled me 20
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 re-
mained with our division 20 hours long
err and then followed When We reached
Bartletts camp he broke out and went
on and we turned In. BY this arrange

Borup Valuable in Many WAYS.

Borup not only made the record as to
the distance travelled during the jour-
ney. but TO his assistance and his expert
knowledge OF photography is due what
believe to be the unequaled series OF
photographs taken bv the expedition.
Chief Engineer Wardwell, also of
the last expedition. aided by his as
sistant Scott. kept the machinery up
to a high state OF efficiency and has
given the Roosevelt the force and pow
er which enabled IL to negotiate appar-
emily impracticable ice.
