CONTINUED from Page One.)

With no game this short route to an
early ship was no longer possible anu
to satisfy the pangs of munger we
worked to Johns sound. Here after d
long run Of hard adventure by boat
and sledge, a cruel necessity forced US
into winter camp in September at
Cane Sparbo without fuel or food, am
munition or winter clothing, with no
dogs, no guns.
Our situation was almost hopeless, but
fortune came our way. Bows and arrows,
harpoons, lances and other implements
we're made The musk oxen and bear
were taken with lines. The lance and
knife secured us small game. Foxes were
trapped, walruses and seals attacked and
secured in our little folding canvas boat.
An underground dam was built and the
winter of 19O8-09 passed with taste OF
everything save fresh meat, for we had
not a morsel of civilized food, not even
salt.
"a new equipment was devised and as
soon as the sun of 1909 rose over the hills
of Cape North Devon. we started for
in February, 1909, dragging dried
musk oxen meat as food and melted tai
low as fuel Deep snow, bad ice. open
water and continued storm made the re-
turn slow and arduous. We reached An
natok after a run of hard luck on April ..
Here we were met by Whitney. only to
find that Peary's men had misued our
station with it's equipments. Under the
protection Of Mr.. Whitney we enjoyed
good health at all times"
