Greenland Game Plentiful.
That is only sample of the game
the Greenland visitor can have The
reindeer Will give the choicest venison.
Even the hare Of England is said to
lack the flavor that those shot on the
Greenland plains have. There are no
game laws in Greenland, and the
1eanie with be there the latter part OF
August, when the shooting is at its
best.
The vegetables taken on trip Of
this kind are mostly potatoes and
onions, but there are canned goods Of
all kinds, and enough, so there would
have to be the worst kind of luck IL
the Jeanie should not get back before
they are exhausted.
Ammunition and tobacco in quantities
are among the Jeanie's freight. There
is also on the Jeanie large amount Of
lime juice, another necessary article
for arctic travellers. for it is used to
Offset the absence of vegetables in
the prevention Of scurvy.
The Jeanie is a craft Of ninety-ei
tons burden. She carries two masts
and 1000 yards Of canvas. The Oil

land to bring the steamer back to
America. IL Peary failed to reach the
pole the past spring he will remain
north this year, and the coal will be
useful for the same purpose next sum
mer. In this case Peary will send
down dispatches from his advanced
base to Etah by Eskimos, and The
jeanne will be guided by the instruc
lions contained therein. so it is quite
possible she may not see Peary at all
She will, however, bring home Harry
Whitney, an American sportsman, who
went to Etah last year in the Roose
return this year. DIR. Cook, the riva
explorer, will likewise be brough
back.
After the Jeanne has completed hel
work at Etah she will return to Pond:
inlet, Baffin Land, where she will TT.
to secure load of arctic salmon fol
sale in New York. She carries three
salmon nets and thirty tons of curin,
salt. She expects to return to st
Johns about Oct. l.
