. Report of the cruise of the revenue cutter Bear and the overland expedition for the relief of the whalers in the Arctic ocean, from November 27, 1897, to September 13, 1898. driftwood on the beach, half coveredwith snow, and finally wound up by running the sled full speed againsta stuinp, breaking the harness, dragging the line out of my hand, anddisappearing in the darkness and flying snow. My first impulse wasto run after him, but soon recovering my wits I concluded to make thebest of the situation. It was impossible to see 10 j^ards ahead, and Iknew it would be reckless to start off alone, for the others were far inadvance by this time, and I might wander about all night, become ex-hausted, and perhaps freeze. So righting my sled, I proceeded to campwhere I was for the night, and await developments. I had nothing toeat on the sled, but fortunately had my clothes bag and sleeping bag,and getting them out under the lee of the sled, I proceeded to makemyself as comfortable as possible. I knew the others would be search-ing for me as soon as they noticed my absence, yet it seemed impos-sible to find anything in that storm. I thought I had been there about. STARTING FROM GOLOVIN BAY.
