expedition. Give my kinGest regards to
your shipmates. BYRD"
Condr. BYRD was greatly pleased with
the loyal desire of Capt. Brown and his
men to come through regardless of the
risk even though he could not let them
attempt the impossible, much pleased as
he has been by the courageous way in
which the men who went back on the
City of New York, not because there was
no room for them here but because
some one had to take the ship home.
faced the storm and suffering OF their
cold and dangerous trip north.
Today was the first day free from
anxiety which he has had since the City
of New York departed, and nearly all
day and night he has sat up in close
communication with his ships, obtain
ing information on the conditions and
the progress made by the City of New
York
They have been splendid group Of
men and have showed a craftsmanship
in returning cheerfully that was almost
more than might have been expected.
