at a position close that in which the Jeanette
was first gripped by the ice in September. 1879.
Why should all these vessels have been moved
continually to the west by the Arctic drift? Sim
ply because, Ir. Harris and others have ex-
planned, the incoming tide from the Atlantic has
to sweep to the eastward and around some great
obstruction that reaches down from close to the
pole to point fairly near Alaska and the upper
most shores OF the Dominion of Canada The
ebb tide In passing out in turn has to follow the
same circuitous route. hut its movement is to the
westward, and probably stronger in its general
effect than the incoming flood tide. Why
should this be?
Look at the little map that goes with this arti-
Gle. The curving lines with time marked In
Roman numerals show how the advancing high
tide moves from the Atlantic and the other fig
ures and decimals indicate the measure Of the
rise Plainly. the further the water sweeps into
the pocket ending at Beaufort the smaller
the tidal fux and the slower the water moves in
the interval OF tide change the water. so to
speak, is being crowded. Accordingly on the ebb
the sweep is freer, as it is trending toward the
great open Atlantic. and this probably accounts
for the aggregate net gain in the westward drift.

On more than occasion that year the little

during that Arctic summer she had to blast a

against escape piled up in threatening manner.
However the ship kept steadily at her task. and
in the end the icebound whalemen were succored
and carried back to civilization, or after restora-

Ice was not the only peril. for with the milder

In closing his report to the treasury depart

Such is the type of the men aboard the
