TEMPORARILY DISCOURAGED.
| came upon Bartlett and his party,
tagged out and temporarily discour-
aged by the heartracking work of
making road.
/ knew what was the matter with
them. They were simply spoiled by
the good going on the previous
marches. rallied them bit, light
ened their sledges, and sent them on
encouraged again.
During the next march we travelled
through a thick haze drifting over the
ice before biting air from the north
east. At the end of the march we
came upon the captain camped beside
a wide open lead with a dense black
water sky northwest, north, and north
east.
HAS NARROW ESCAPE
We built our igleos and turned in
but before l had fallen asleep was
reused out by q movement of the ice
and found startling condition of az
fairs-a rapidly widening road of black
water ran only few feet from our
igloos.
One of my teams of dogs had es
capped by only few feet from being
dragged by the movement of the ice
into the water.
Another team had an equally mar
row escape from being crushed by the
ice blocks piled over them. The ice
ON the north side of the lead was NOV
ing around eastward. The small fiool
on which were the captains igloos
was drifting eastward in the oper
water, and the side of our igloos
threatened to follow suit.
scAvED BY QUICK DASH.
Kicking out the door of the igloos
l called to the captains men to pacl
their sledges and be ready for quicl
dash when favorable chance arrived
We hurried our things on OH,
sledges. hitched the dogs, and moved
on to a large ice foe west of us
| Then, leaving one man to look on
for the dogs and sledges, we hurrie,
over to assist the captains party t.

A corner of their raft impinged Of

the night and during the next day tn
| ice suffered the torment of tn
damned, surging together. openin
out. grooming and grinding. while tn
open water belched black smoke lik
prairie fire.
FINDS CLEAR STRETCH.
Then the motion ceased, the ope
water closed. the atmosphere to tn
north was cleared. and we rushe
across before the ice should ope
again.

for Marvin and Borup to push on
after us by forced marches. we pro-
ceeded northward. The sounding OF
the lead gave ITO fathoms.
During this march we crossed the
eighty-fourth parallel and traversed
succession of just frozen leads, from
few hundred yards to mile in
width. This march was really simple.
On the fourteenth we got free of the
leads and came on decent going.
While we were making camp courier
from Marvin came and informed me
he was on the march in the rear. The
temperature was SO below zero.
The following morning, March Is, !
sent Hansen with his division north to
pioneer a trail for five marches, and
DR.. Goodsell, according to the pro-
gram, started back to Cape Columbia.
M'MILLAN TURNS BACK.
At night Marvin and Borup came
spinning in with their men and dogs
steaming in the bitter air like a
squadron of battleships. Their arrival
relieved me of all anxiety as to our
oil supply.
In the morning discovered that
MacMillan's foot was badly frost bit
ten. The mishap had occurred two
or three days before, but Macmillan
had said nothing about it in the hope
that it would come out all right.
A glance at the injury showed me
that the only thing was to send him
back to Cape Columbia at once. The
arrival of Marvin and Borup enabled
me to spare sufficient men and dogs
to go back with him.
LOSS is SERIOUS ONE.
This early loss Of Macmillan was
seriously disappointing to me. He had
a sledge all the way from Cape Col
umbia, and with his enthusiasm anf

To Close Old Postoffice.

Immediately after the removal Of
the postoffice to the new federal build
ing on the river front on November
/, the old postoffice at Fifth and Court
avenue will be closed. This informa-
ton was contained in letter receiv-
ed from Washington by Custodian N.
]. Miller. The government supervis-
ing architect is now at work on plans
for the remodeling of the old struc.
ture, and an appropriation of sl5O,Ooo
has been made for the improvements.
1t is thought that six months will suf.
flee to complete the work on the old
building, and then it will be closed for
year and half or such matter
When complete it may be used as a
substation.

were crossed, ana after them some
heavy old ice. and then we came to
layer of young ice. some of which
pucked under our sledges, and this
gave us straight way of six miles to
the north.
1hen came more heavy old foes.
covered with snow. This was a good
long march.
The next march was also long
one. 1t was Bartlett's last hit. He let
himself out over series of large old
hoes, steadily increasing in diameter
and covered with hard snow
WIND HELPS OUT.
During the last few miles | walked
beside him or in advance. He was
solemn and anxious to go further but
the program was for him to go back
from here in command of the fourth
supporting party, and there were no
supplies for an increase in the main
party.
In this march we encountered a
high wind for the first time since the
three days after we left Cape Colum.
bla 1t was dead in our faces, bitter
and insistent, but | had no reason to
complain, 1T was better than an east
eriy or southerly wind, either of
which would have set us adrift in open
water, while this was closing up every
lead behind.
This furnished another advantage of
my supporting parties. True, by SO
DONG 1t was pressing to the south the
ice over which we travelled, and SO
robbing US of hundred miles of ad
vantage.
EIGHTY-FoUR is PASSED.
We concluded we were on or near
the eighty eighth parallel, unless the
north wind had lost us several miles
The wind blew all night and all next
day.
AT this camp, in the morning, Bart
lett started to walk five or six miles te
the north to make sure OF reachine

Details Of Long and Arduous Journey
That Resulted in the Discov-
cry Of the North Pole

the powers and physique OF the trained
athlete had confidence in him for at
least the seth parallel, but there was
no alternative.
The best sledges and dogs were Sc
lected and the sledge loads brought up
to the standard. The sounding gave
depth of 1926 fathoms.
We were over the continual shelf,
and as l had surmised, the successive
leads crossed in the fifth and sixth
marches composed the big lead and
marked the continual shelf.
On leaving the camp the expedition
comprised 16 men, IL sledges and 100
dogs. The next march was satisfac-
tory as regards distance and the char
acter of the going. In the latter part
there were pronounced movements In
the ice, both visible and audible.
Some leads were crossed, in one of
which Borup and his team took
bath, and we were finally stopped by
an impracticable lead opening in front
of us. We camped in temperature
of so degrees below.
At the end of Two short marches we
came upon Hansen and his party in
camp, mending their sledges. We de-
voted the remainder of the day to
overhauling and mending siedges and
breaking up our damaged ones for
material.
MAKE FORCED MARCHES.
The next morning | put Marvin in
the lead to pioneer the trail, with in
structions to make two forced
marches to bring up our average,
which had been cut down by the last
two short ones. Marvin carried out
his instructions implicitly. A consid-
erable amount of young ice assisted
| in this.
At the end Of the tenth march, lati-
tude 1923, Borup turned back in COM
mand of the second supporting party,
having travelled distance equivalent
to Nansen's distance from this far to
his farthest north.
l was sorry to lose this young Yale
runner, with his enthusiasm and
pluck. He had led his heavy sledge
| over the foes in way that COM
manded everyone's admiration and
would have made his fathers eyes
glisten.
CHANGES HIS PLAN.
From this point the expedition CON-
prised 90 men, 10 sledges, and 70 dogs.
1t was necessary for Marvin to take
sledge from here, and put Bartlett
and his division in advance to pioneer
the trail.
The continual daylight enabled me
to make moderation here that
brought my advance and main parties
closer together and reduced the like
lihood of their being separated by
open leads.
After Bartlett left camp with Hen
derson and their division, Marvin and
I remained with our divisions 20 hours
longer and then followed. When we
reached Bartletts camp he broke out
and went on and we turned in. BY
this arrangement the advance party
was travelling while the main party
was asleep, and vice versa, and | wa:

Mrs. Peary.

Bartlett returned i'll time to take a
satisfactory observation Tor latitude
in clear weather, and obtained for our
position s7.4S, and that showed that
the continued north wind had robbed
us OF a number of miles of hard.
earned distance.
Bartlett took the observation here
as had Marvin five camps back, partly
to save my eyes, but largely to give
an independent record and determine
ton of our advance.
The observations completed and two
copies made, one for him and the
other for me. Bartlett started on the
back trail in command OF my fourth
supporting party, with two Esklmos
one sledge, and IS dogs.

result agreed satisfactorily with the
dead reckoning of Marvin, Bartlett.
and myself.
Up to this time, the slight altitude
of the sun had made 1T not worth
while to waste time in observations.
On the next two marches the going
improved, and we covered good dis
tances. In one of these marches a
lead delayed us few hours. We final
ly ferried across the ice cakes.
MAKES RECORD RUN.
The next day Bartlett let himself
out, evidently, for a record, and reeled
off 20 miles. Here Marvin obtained
another satisfactory sight on latitude,
which gave the position as S6.3S Tor
beyond the farthest north of hansen
and AbruzzD, and showed that we had
covered so minutes of latitude in three
marches.
In these three marches we had
passed the Norwegian record of 1914,
by Nansen, and the Italian record of
1894, by Cagni.
From this point Marvin turned back
in command of the third supporting
party. My last words to him were:
BE careful of the leads, my boy"
The party from this point comprised
nine men, seven sledges. and GO dogs.
The conditions at this camp and the
apparently unbroken expanse of fairly
level ice in very direction reminded
me of Cagni's description of his farth-
est north.
DANGER is ENCOUNTERED.
But 1 was not deceived by the ap-
parently favorable outlook, for avail
able conditions never continue for any
distance or any length OF time In the
arctic regions.
The next march was over good 60
ing, but for the first time since leav-
ing land we experienced that condi.
ton, frequent over these ice fields, OF
hazy atmosphere, in which the light
is equal everywhere. All relief fs de
stroyed, and it IS impossible to see
for any distance.
We were obliged tn this march tc
make detour around an open lead
In the next march we encountered the
heaviest and deepest snow Of the
journey, through thick, smotherins
mantle lying in the depressions o.
heavy rubble ice.
