The following morning, March IA, i
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.
At night, Marvin and Borup came
spinning in with their men and dogs

The arrival relieved me of all my
anxiety as to my oil supply.
Macmillan Sent Back.

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 hopes that
it would come out all right. A glance
al the injury showed 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.
This early loss of Macmillan was
seriously disappointing to me. He had
a sledge all the way from Cape Column
bia and with his enthusiasm and pow
ers and the physique of the trained
athlete l had confidence in him for at
least the seth parallel, but there was
no alternative.
The best sledgcs and dogs were Sc

to the standard. The sounding gave a

were pronounced movements in the

Some leads were crossed in one of

bath, and we were finally stopped by
all impra cticable lead opening in front
of us. We camped in temperature

He had led his heavy sledge over the
Hoes in a way that commanded every.
ones admiration and would have
made his fathers eyes glisten. From
this point the expedition comprised 20
men, 10 sledges and 70 dogs. 1t was
necessary for Marvin to take a sledge
from here and put Bartlett ard his
division in advance to pioneer the
trail ~
TWO Parties Brought Closer. 8
The continued day light enabled me
to make a moderation here that
brought my advance and main parties
closer together and reduced the likeIi-
hood Of their being separated by open
leads. After Bartlett left camp with
Henderson and their division, Marvin

hours longer and then followed.
