Fahrenheit making Hawk Harbor whaling
station and factory on the Labrador coast,
Sunday evening at eight
The whale meat for which we came to
Hawk Harbor having been slowed on deck
forward we left in company with the Roose-
welt on Tuesday afternoon and the following
day entered the harbor at Turnivik, our last
stop the Labrador coast, in the midst Of a
thunderstorm. Turnivik is fishing station,
and here Capt. Bob Bartlett said good-by to
his father, Capt William Bartlett, who is
owner of the station.
The run through Davis strait, across Baf-
fin and Melville bays, around Cape York and
into North Star bay, where waited for the
Roosevelt, consumed line days, during which
time we overhauled our outfit, worked on a
sail for the whaleboat and fshed for gulls that
wouldn't bite. We crossed the arctic circle
on the twenty eighth Of July. At midnight on
the thirtieth of July I took a snapshot pho

spirit
The Roosevelt came in on the third Of
August, having stopped at Cape York to pick
up dogs and natives and at the suggestion of
Peary we lost no time in preparing for a wal
rus hunt. Commander Peary helped us in
every way possible-as indeed he had done
from the start and continued to do until the
ships separated procuring Eskimo guides for
us and telling where to go and what to do
when we got there. We left the ship at three
in the morning with three Eskimo guides,
steering our power whaleboat west through
Wolstenholm sound to where Saunders island
lifts it's steep, bare sides, washed on the west
by the open water of Bafin bay. In the sound
and about Saunders island congregate the old
bull walrus, while further north in the Whale
sound regions are found only the cows and
young bulls
Off the eastern end of the island one of
the Eskimo pointed to black spot on float
ing cake of ice and we pushed nearer the
black turned to dirty brownish yellow, soon
easily recognized as two big walrus bulls lying
asleep on the ice pan. The engine was stopped
and the boat drifted up quietly. Two Eskimo
stood in the bow with harpools ready stood
next, and the others somewhere behind me.
When within about 80 feet both walrus raised
their heads. showing long white tusks and
thick necks criss-crossed with scars AS Whit

Barmaids in South Australia.

South Australia is suffering from a
barmaid famine. Two years ago bar
maids were abolished in that state by
act of parliament. No more could be
legally engaged, but those already en-
ployed could remain on condition that
they registered themselves.
There are now only 400 Of them left,
and the competition for their serv-
ices is such that their wages have
jumped from 25 shillings to GS a
week. The hotels that have had to
employ barmen report considerable
change for the worse in their receipts.

This weighing things over, Stevey,
when unduly prolonged not only con-
fuses us, it saps and dissipates our
very energy, literally leaves us weak
and nerveless; we not only don't
know what to do but if we did know
we'd be powerless to do it; we'd have
to wait and recuperate till our
strength came back and our head came
clear again.
'The ability to decide which some
men possess is more or less a gift.
Most of us are often in doubt, we
don't know what to do: but you Will

memorable expedition of that year, which re-
suited in the discovery of the pole by Com
mander Robert e. Peary. Whitney was a
member of the party until we left Etah to re-
turn home.
The ship being our headquarters for the
whole of the trip, were able to take along
as large an outfit we wished. In addition
to the usual paraphernalia we took with us
an 18-foot whaleboat propelled by three
horsepower gasoline engine.
Sydney, Cape Breton island, was the rem
devious for the two ships of this expedition,
the Roosevelt and the Erik, to which place
Norton and I proceeded by train from New
York The Erik had come from st. Johns sew
eral days before and was taking on coal and
provisions. The Roosevelt arrived on the
fourteenth, with Whitney and other members
of the expedition, with the exception of Com
mander Peary, who came by train on the same
day. At Sydney we met Mr. Craft from Car
negie institute Washington, who was to be-
come welcome member of our party aboard
the Erik.
OF the ships company was Capt. Sam
Bartlett, uncle of Captain Bob, of the Roose-
welt; first mate, Tom Bartlett, at one time
skipper for Dr. Grenfell; second mate, Harold
Bartlett, son of the "old man." the crew
called Captain Sam; chief engineer, Richard
Pike; second engineer, Jim; another Jim, the
steward; Joe White, the cabin boy, and the
cook, boatswain, two. stokers and crew of
five sailors-all Observation-Disclosures with the ex-
ception of the cabin boy, who was, believe,
an elevator boy in New York hotel before
we took him along as chief administrator to
our comfort. This the gathering aboard
the Erik when she sailed out of Sydney on
Friday, July II, at 1890 a. NJ, leaving the
Roosevelt to follow later and making the start
of a polar expedition which was to become
in little years time the most famous
in history.
We passed through the Straits of Belle
Isle, during the night of the eighteenth, hav
ing experienced both clear and foggy weather
and drop in the temperature to 40 degrees
