enough had the sky been clear. We
had, therefore. not gone more than
six or eight miles when we camped
again for fear of missing the ship, for
we were able to see but few hundred
yards.
Next day we reached the ship, the
Teddy Bear, little gasolene schooner
of thirteen tons from Nome, Alaska
having on board only one white man.
her owner. Capt. Joseph Bernard, and
a crew consisting of the Eskimo
Tulugak. with his wife, mother and
three children. The Teddy Bear had
wintered the year before at Barter
Island and had come east with the
intention OF getting to the west coast
Of Victoria Island.
A Change of Plans.
1t took DR.. Anderson and me but an
hour or two to change all our plans
resource Of a ship willing to cooper
ate with us. We decided that DR..
Anderson, Tannaumirk and Panniga'
bluk should stay in Coronation Gulf
where DR.. Anderson was anxious tc
continue his egg collecting and other
geological work, and that I, with Ma
thusiak alone for companion, should
go north across Coronation Gulf and
across the southwestern corner of Vic
toria Island to Prince Albert Sound,
and thence TO Banks Island. to spend
the summer with the Eskimo tribes
which we supposed lived there. In the
fall the Teddy Bear, on her way west,
would attempt to pick us up in De
Sails Bay, on southeastern Banks
Island. II she failed to find us, we
would simply spend the autumn in
Banks Island and sledge across south
over the sea ice to Cape Parry and
Langton Bay the following winter.
Capt. Bernard undertook to carry
for us the stone lamps and cooking
pots We had purchased from the Es-
kimos. while DIR. Anderson and Tannau-
mirk were to take the remainder of
our collection to the mouth Of Dease
River whence II would finally be
transported TO Fort Norman on the
Mackenzie River, where they could he
given into the hands of the Hudson's
Bay Company for shipment to New
York and Ottawa. All this programme
was carried out and our geological and
