Disabled From Cold.

In that search Melville covered 1000
miles in twenty-three days in the dead
~ cold of the arctic night and in the.
teeth Of bitter gales. BE early became:
disabled from the cold. his feet and
legs swelling and blistering and the.
skin cracking. Food was scarce at the
settlements, and it failed often in the;
field, necessitating the use of reindeer
bones. fish heads and other refuse
gathered on the march. The faces of
the natives became blistered and sore.
the dogs were worn to mere skeletons.
and even Melville himself grew care
less as to whether he lived or died..
and still he pressed on. Injured to the
cold as they were. the natives tagged
out in the march, but by entreaty, by
argument, by intimidation, with the
sight and sound of firearms, the half
frozen. helpless, but dauntless leader
kept them moving. Once they mu-
tinted outright.
When he decided to give up the
search until the following spring he
was worn to a shadow from cold, hun
ger and slow starvation.
With the earliest spring, despite.
fierce gales. Melville was again in the.
field. accompanied by Seamen Ninde-
mann and Bartlett: On March 16s
Melville found the hut where De Long
and his comrades had slept before
crossing the river. <.-..+.s~ -
Found Ten Dead Men. ..ss
A week later he found ten dead
men. -Four poles dashed together, and
projecting out two feet from the snow
drift pointed to their resting place.
The muzzle of a Remington rifle also.
stood above the snow bank eight
inches, its strap hitched over the.
poles. A few hundred yards farther
were the three bodies Of Lieutenant
Commander De Long, Surgeon Am
bier and All Sam. the Chinese cook.
Alongside of De Long was his note
book. Under the poles were the books
and records. The natives with Mel
vile were at first afraid to break the
bodies out Of the snow bank. They
were frozen to the ground, and it re-
CURED prying with sticks of wood to,
get them up. De Longs left arm had
been seen sticking up out of the snow.
Apparently DR.. Amber had been the
last to die. He lay with loaded pis-
tol in his hand, as if defending the,
dead before him.
Melville arrived at New York on Sept.
13, 1882. over three years after leaving
San Francisco.
