well Known as q painter of fine pic
lures, but also as one of the most
successful duck hunters in oxford

When the Macmillan expedition
reached explorer Greeley's farthest
North camp on its last trip the
members found there an abundant
supply of canned food some of
which was branded Potatoes" The
cans were found, however, to con-
tain rhubarb which had been canned
80 years before. They partook freely
of it, and enjoyed the diet, which had
been packed by the government for
the Greeley expedition. Since re-
turning from his trip Commander
Macmillan talked with the man who
superintendent the packing, and was
informed that the consumers had run
great risk, as the canning of that
early period was Of much cruder
character than 1t is now. At the

enough to last for long time. Com
mander Macmillan allows his po-
tatoes to freeze, and uses them when
he is ready.
