There have, it is true, been some dis ever-decreasing coal Supply, our anxiety was agreements, as in most expeditions of the soit; very great. and this is scarcely surprising, when a number -of-men-are cooped-together-under the most distressing and depressing conditions through the long Arctic night. But they have been unduly magnified, and it is not from this cause that my failure to reach the Pole is to be atributed, and I want to say that no leader of an expedition had, with one or two exceptions, a more willing, la al, and competent staff.

THE WORK ACCOMPLISHED. We did not reach the Pole, it is true, but after nearly a year and a halfs incessant work we have brought back data which ought materially to assist subsequent seekers after the Pole. For the first time in the history of North Polar exploration, a photographic record has been secured of the ice and snow conditions of the Arctic and of the animal life of those regions, so complete as to be practically ex- haustive. In this respect the cinematograph has played a most important part--the first time it has ever been successfully employed

in the far north-and we now have over a thousand perfect photographic representations of our work, which alone is perhaps not un worthy of a year's effort. In addition, we have over two hundred drawings and paintings.

I am glad to say that not only has every member of the expedition safely returned, but that we never had a serious case of illness, Fortunately, we were a musical company, and the bears must often have been surprised as the strains of The Star-Spangled Ranner were wafted through the icy darkness. During the whole winter we were working night and day.

The presence of so many dogs-we had at one time over 200 during the winter-kept the camp greatly clear of bears, but sometimes they would surprise us. On one occasion two of our members, while sledging ice with one of the ponies, were set upon by a age beast, which came upon them unawares. They were quite unarmed, and were remarking at the absence of game, when they capied a few feet in front of them a great white bear, which immediately charged. Their pony forthwith stampeded, dragging the sledge, with it, and leaving the two men quite defenceless. They availed themselves of a neighbouring iceberg, to the top of which they clambered, while the bear was watching the precipitate flight of the horse. Then he tumed, and, growling viciously, followed the men up te berg. The latter succeeded in escaping by the opposite side, but were closely followed by the bear, which, however, refused to approach when they neared the safety of the ship.

There were many narrow escapes while sledg

sledges, and contents were precipitated into the water, from which they were diagged with con sidemble difficulty. There were numerous in- stances of whole dog teams, while harnessed to the sledges, wildly charging herds of walruses, with which they fought fiercely at the very edge of open waterholes, much to the peril of the drivers, dogs, and loads, ・・・ ・

I admit that our primary object was to plant the American flag at the North Pole, and we still hope to do so, and believe more fully than ever that this can be done in accordance with our original plan. I felt from previous experi ence and knowledge of Axelic literature that aling over the thin ice,and more than once ponics, least one of the numerous ways of navigating the Franz Josef Land Archipelago would be open to navigation some time during either the summer or autuma of 1901, but last year proved to be an exception, and we were com pelled to go into winter quanters at Camp Ziegler, the station which we established upon our first arrival in Franz Josef Land, in fodeg. 23mir. north, whereas our original plan was to spend the winter at least a degree further north, if not netually off the coast of Rudolf Land itself. This was the first disappointment. Then followed the sickening and death of many of the dogs, even before the cold Arctic night the careful This was owing, as began investigations of ur three physicians con clusively proved, to the ravages of three distinct internal parasites, which ultimately proved fatal to more than half the pack,

These two causes rendered anything more than an attempt to beat the record of the farthest north absolutely impossible, and this,. although I believe we could have accomplished it beyond any doubt, I would not undertake, as such a course would have involved the des truction of our equipment and the consumption of our stores, and this precluded the carrying out of our original project. We have, however, the satisfaction of painting to the establishment of our depots, from which it will now be possible to despatch parties from Rudolf with out it being necessary to endanger a ship at a higher latitude than Camp Ziegler. Altogether we have formed four large stations. The most northerly station upon Rudolf Land is within eight miles of the winter headquarters of the Dake of the Abruzzi.

A NANSEN MEMENTO.

THE WAY TO REACH THE POLE. The old idea of an open. Polar Sea is base- less. We know that land extends as far as the eighty-second degree on the Franz Josef Land side, and it is from here that I quite agree with Lieutenant Peary that the most practical way of attaining the' Pole is by sledg. ing from this point. This is, indeed, the plan on which our expedition worked.

Mr. Baldwin is now on his way to New York to consult with Mr. Ziegler as to future operations,

THE FRAMS" DISCOVERIES.

A GREAT DIsaster aveRTED,"

Regarding the experiences of his expedition to the Arctic regions, Mr. Sverdrup has made the following statement in Christianin --*

"I spent the winter of 1898-9 in winter quarters at Ellesmere Land, where various scientific sledge expeditions were made. The summer of 1899 was unfavourable, and the Fram was obliged to return to winter quarters a Ellesmere Land, where we again established depots and organised sledge expeditions, A great part of the surrounding region was mapped out.

"In May, 1900, a great fire occurred on the the Fram. A tent on board had been set on fire by sparks from the funnel, and a number of kayaks saturated with paraffin and other articles were burned. The rigging and masts of the Fram were attacked by the flames, and the total destruction of the vessel appeared imminent. The fire, however, was fortunately extinguished...

Upen the conclusion of this work a farther sledge journey was made to Cape Norway, where we came upon Nansen's winter but. We were all deeply affected when one morning a- member of our party stumbled upon a piece of walrus hide near the shore, which indicated the proximity of a human habitation. After some search we found what at first looked "In August, 1903, we steamed through Jones like a broad grave mound, almost com- Sound and Cardigan Strait, and took up winter pletely covered with snow.

Mr. Sverdrup further stated that the expeill lion did not meet any Eskimos in the regions which it visited. Many of their dwelling-places, dating from former periods; were, however, seen. The Fram brought with her many artis cles from these dwelling places... -

With reference to Mr, Sverdrup's statements regarding the discovery of deserted Eskimo encampments, the well-known Norwegian, Professor Ynguar Neilsen, regards them, un evidence that the northern limit up to which it is possible for man to exist in the great Arctic Archipelago receded at a comparatively recent Nate and ethat from this Srcumstance further conclusione may be drawn with regani to ice conditions, ke upon these the existence of the Eskimo entirely depends.

is one of nature's laws that a medicine which disgusts the nose and the palate, and also sickens the stomach, can have no good effect as a medicine; because the system revolts
