The pioneer party was one unit
division. made up Of four Of the most
active and experienced men Of the ex-
petition with sledRos lightly loaded
with five or six DAYS provisions
drawn By the best dog teams that
could be selected from the entire pack.
When we started from Cape Column

I'm advance Of the main party. Later
on. when we reached the time OF con
unuous daylight and sunlight through
the twcnty-four hours, the pioneer
party was but twelve hours in ad-
vance of the main party.
THE duty OF this pioneer party
was TO make a march in every twenty

excepting, OF course, some impossible
lead Whether there was a deep snow
or violent winds TO be faced. or noun

over. the march Of the pioneer party
must be made: for past experience
had proved that whatever distance
was covered by the advance party with
its light sledEes, could be covered in
less time by the main party even with
heavily loaded slcdgos because the
main party having the trail TO fol-

In other words. the pioneer party
