quantity was reduced.

Peary said:

The health of the party In general
was good. according to DR.. John
Goodsell. surgeon of the expedition.
Two Eskimo children were born and
are still living. There was an alb
sence of scurvy. due chiefly to the ex-
perlonce of the commander in select
ing food and supplies necessary for
the health and care of the party.
There was an abundance of fresh
meat. Bartlett, Marvin. Mcmillan and
Borup suffered from frostbitten feet
more severely than the others.
Two of the Eskimos were disabled
at Cape Columbia, one suffering from
frozen feet and the other from a Sc

same cause. DIR. Goodsell gave them
surgical attention and left them in
their igloos until his detachment re-
turned from the northern trip. He sup
piled them with ample provisions.

hauled on the sledges to the ship at
