ARCTIC EXPLORER .
 ARRIVES SYDNEY
Relief Steamer Neptune Arrives In Sydney With Party of Ex-
 plorers Aboard

SIDNEY, Australia, Aug. 27.-S. MacMillan, the Arctic explorer, who has been marooned in the far north the past two years, arrived here today on the relief steamer Neptune, with his party. .....-.--.............--....
 Explorer MacMillan and the first relief force who sailed in the steamer Cluett, arrived in Etah, northwest Greenland, on Smith Sound last spring, after having spent much time searching for Commodore Peary's mythical island named Crock CT Land by the celebrated American explorer. MacMillan says that Peary was fooled by mirage, and that there is no such place as Crocker land. He will arrive in the United States in about four days.
 The first heard of the MacMillan party after their departure from Etah last year, was about six months ago, when G. H. Serwood, one of the par ty, brought a message from MacMil- Ian stating that the party was safe, and that he had discovered six new islands and had finished the mapping of Finley island, discovered sixty years ago. He also told of finding large coal deposits. Dr. H. J. Hunt, a member of the party, came out in June, this year, and told of the long sled journey over the ice of Melville Sound, and stated that the party were we'll and in good spirits, but in urg- ent need of supplies. Capt. R. A. Bartlett, in command of the polar steamer Neptune, thereupon organiz- ed third relief expedition and sail ed in search of the MacMillan party May 23, and apparently his search was crowned with success.
