This portion of my story would be incom plate if I said nothing about the one black sinep of this unfortunats expedition. His mind was Henry, and he was a private in a rogiment of

He had more than one bag, it would asem Anyhow, he carried on a Eeries of petty larcanise, nothing, indeed, in the Alape of food being safe that he could got his elafahes on: This maans, of course, that he was a man of what will and unable to resist temjita tion. Over and over again he was found out, and again and again was he forgiven by Cumwauder Greely. But what was to be done with euch a fellow who stole even the nourishment or médical comforts from the sick and dying? The mombors of the expedition were really under martial law. Butindependent of this, if, for example, three meN ́are castaways on a desert island, and with only food anagh to keep life in them until there a bare possibility of helf coming, and if ons of these men denies by night and aldile the allow ance of the oflare, then is that thief doserving of death, and his conipazions commit no crime if they put him out of the way.
