The delay in starting, duc obstacles such as the non-delivery of the new boilers of his ON! ship and scarcity of funds in these days of money stringency, causes some doubt whether the expedition will reach its intended Arctic base for this year's winter quarters, If possible, the Roosevelt will be forced through the Kans barrior, thence though the Kennedy and Robe-

where she lay near the shore, fast in the ice, during the winter of 1905-6. But this dependi on the conditions of the ice in the channels of approach to the Arctic Ocean.
it has been a late season in the Arctic region Capinin Bartlett, who again commands the Roosevell, told me he had heard from his northern friends, and the ice bed been slow to break up and drift Southward. Whether i would pack in the Channel in au, impervious t lock or be broken up so that the Roosevelt could squeeze its way through `would depend on the prevailing winds when the ship reached Smith Sound.
Á VISIT TO THE SHIP.
11 may be compulsory, as it would be the sfer plan, to spend the first winter as Etah, where Commander Peary taken on board e sq simaux and dogs, but in this case the dash for the Pole over the razen Arctic Ocean would be deferred for twelvemonth, as it would be impossible to start fresh on the sledging part of the expedition from the nothern shore of Greenland in February or or March, as is necessary. The Roosevelt in the last journey left Etabs on August 16 just a month after sailing from New York, so that it will be only by great good fortune that the valuable time that has been lost can be recovered. Neither Commander Peaty him self, nor his companions who have shared his experiences, are sanguine of this accomplish- ment.
Captain Bartlett was confident the ship would sail in ten days. The Roosevelt's yawning
· hold,+ awaiting' the new boiler battery, entirely of the Scotch type, and bot half Scotch, hal, water tube, as two years ago, looked to me ominous as I clambered over her deck in the Shooter's Island shipyard at Staten Island. New oak planking had replaced the timbers worn by the crushing in the Icefloes. The captain would have preferred green-heart as an even hardier wood. The stout cross-beams and bulkheads down in the hold showed the im anense strength of the hull. In the fore-part the sailors just engaged were fitting up their berths in a cabin on the deck, while Henson, Com- mander Peary's faithful negro attendant, whom eighteen years of loyal service and aid in many perils make an indispensable adjunci, was overhauling the cabins of the captain and the explorer in the stern of the vessel. ·

Feary expedition, Captain Bartlett has run the THE BEST IN THE kauntlet of life and death. In the early spring, he suffered a shipwreck, encountering direr peril than in all his Arctic hardships, Scarcely hid the Roosevelt been dismantled than he was engaged to command the Leopard, a Halifax seater, which sailed from St. John's early in March for the Labrador coast. Be sides its ordinary crew, the Leopard carried one hundred find five seal clabbers, and was heavily weighted with sealing supplies and camping outfits. The ship had scarcely cleared the harbour when she ran into a blinding stowstorm,
While he was beating his way down the coast of Cape Race, masses of solid ice, the wind and shore current all forced his vessel to wards the deadly shore of the south-east coast of Newfoundland, and in the dead of night the Leopard went grinding on the rocks under Black Head Cliff, a slicer promontory of three hundred feet, the Beachy Head of that coast. The dealer was doomed, but before she broke up
the crew and extra hands made their way an improvised brige to a strip of hard love! Ice that had formed between the hull and the cliff.
