opd the Kariuk after tw" weeks .h.rc l left her. Ilud pr,wticd ..sinst what really happened ins"f,,r ,,at had given Capt. Bartlett in- ..-.ctions as to what to do if the r.rluk drifted off. Part of these in- ..ructions were tased on our cxpori- o,ce during the six weeks we had ,,,eady been in the ice. No matter .,st the wind. the Karluk had moved .,her eastward or westward about ,.rallel to the coast except in the Harrison bay "eddy." It the Kurlul< .aould drift off, Bartlett was, accord ,,ely as soon us opportunity offered. ,o send sled ashore to build bea- .,n with information for us.
 We were to travel along the coast or the lookout for these. ard thus get n.v. of the Kuriuk that would likely .nsble us to rejoin her. 1 believed that by this time Harrison lmy would bc frosen over soIidly and although I thought had seen ship going cast F.. ,nr l;ar uk w'u''i lav" d"m had .he the chance), l decided to go west n Barrow before heading cast to Her scheL If the Karluk had epn" west, ve were likely to learn it from tn" xatchful Eskimos between Cape Hal lett and Barrow; if she had not. we would at least get some news "f the alaska and Mary Sachs.
 Seeking an Outfit.
 We had known nothing of them since we left the Alaska behind at P.r Clarence. July 27. and got sepa- rated from the Mary Sachs near Cape Prince of Wales in storm on July ss We would also be able to get a suitable travelling outfit from C. D.. Browers whaling station at Barrow. One might think that upon leaving Il well-equipped exploring hsip like tho Karluk we would have been prop erly outfltted for sled travel but this VAS not so. We looked upon our sforesoing as atwo weeks excursion only. On the ship were fourteen cx- eIlent new sleds and one old one. ' ,cok the old sled with the idea that it sas good enough for mere caribou hunt. We had many dogs tried and found excellent; l took untried dogs. to see if they were good. We had the best instruments that mony could buy; too konly the fewest possible, and cheap ones. with the iden that f they got broken there would be no great harm done. We brought uo rroper winter clothes, even though we had an abundance on the ship. Our whole outfit had hecn similarly selected. We could get along with xhat we had but not with any com fort
 Trace Of White Men.
 We started west Oct. 3. and Oct 5 we found a group of thrcc Eskimo families fishing in Harrison bay. back of Cape Halkett. While they had been inland, osme two weeks before. s psrty of five men. some of whom Gudging from their trncks) were shIte men, had come along the coast fem the east and had stolen a sled which these Eskimos had left behind. It occurred to Us at first that possl- bs these white men might have been from the Alaska or Mary Sachs. which hp in that case must have tccn whcked.
 An these Eskimos were old friends of mir, and one of them had been nj travelling companion for about two Eonths in 1908. They were catching Plenty of fish in q small lake. ana gave us about 800 pounds for nur doss. We stayed with them thrcc daya while their women repaired our boots which were in urgent need of It.
 Trace of the Ships.
 Before we left, the son-in-law of oae and the son of another couple arr fsed from the west. They had gone os boat in the sunmer to Barrow to 'aae. and on the return journey the eafiy freexe-up had caught them west " Cape Simpson. They could tell us ''ft both our schooners had come to oafFcw and passed to tho cast but ''es did not know how far cast they aad been able to go.
