ARCTIC REGION
EXPEDITION Oil
(By Associated Press)
NEW YORK. July 10. — The stearr
sealing vessel Neptune has left 8t
Johns. Newfoundland, to make thi
third attempt to bring hack to clvill
zatlon the members of the Crockei
land expedition, marooned in the Arc
tic. Captain Robert A. Bartlett, wh<
accompanied Rear Admiral Peary tr
the Arctic, regarded as one of the mosi
skilful naglvators of the frozen re
gions of the north, Is In command ol
the Neptune.
The departure of this — the third
relief vessel to be sent to the rescue
of the Crocker land expedition—marks
one of the most costly enterprises ol
exploration. Two other vessels, the
George B. Cluett and the Denmark
made Ineffectual attempts to bring
back the explorers, who four years ago
went in quest of the mysterious
Crocker land, which Rear Admiral
Robert E. Peary believed he had seen
in 1906. The expedition was sent out
under (he joint auspices of the Ameri
can Museum of Natural History, the
American Geographical Society and
the University of Illinois, under the
leadership of Donald B. MacMillan
What appeared to the eyes of the dis
coverer of the North Pole was declared
by Mr. MacMillan to be merely a mi
rage, and the party has looked for
Crocker land in vain.
rne MacMillan party, meanwnile
has been conducting explorations on
its own account and has discovered
six new islands, explored new lands
found extensive deposits of coal and
other minerals and has gathered to
gether a vast store of scientific know
ledge. These scientists are proceed
ing with their professional work as
calmly as though they were not ex
posed to dangers of starvation.
Dr. Harrison J. Hunt, the surgeor
of the expedition, who a few days age
came back to this country, after a
thrilling journey of fourteen miles
over the ice of Melville bay, report
ed that unless help were sent his
companions would be in dire extrem
ity by August 1. The scant supplies
were even then being rationed out ti
them. After midsummer they will bt
obliged to subsist as best they cat
upon the country, and after the man
ner of the Eskimos. Walrus meat ant
caribou may possibly be obtained, bu
they will be dependent largely upor
the fortunes of the chase. Dr. Hun
says that unless help is sent he feart
fatality.
The Neptune, which is nov
on its way to Etah—the base of th*
Crocker land expedition, is a vesse
especially well equipped for such t
mission. “The queen of the sealint
fleet,” as she is called, is one of th<
stoutest vessels afloat and her stou
ribs may well withstand th* pressure
of the polar pack.
In addition to her regular stores
she is carrying eight tons of food foi
the use of the Crocker land party.
R. Henry Fairfield Osborn, presi
dent of the American Museum of Na
tural History, and chairman of the
honorary committee of the expedition
said the other day that he consideree
the scientific results obtained by the
expedition fully justified its enormom
cost. He expressed the hope that thi
general public would aid the institu
tions concerned in bearing the ex
pense. George H. Sherwood, actinj
chairman of the committee in charge
says that he feels confident that, bar
ring accidents, the Neptune will bi
back with the MacMillan party in the
early autumn and that the expedltioi
will reach a triumphant close.
How many are the demands of civi
lization is shown in the manifest o
the Neptune. The supplies which she
is taking north include hundreds o
items. Among some of the stores ii
the hold are 2,000 pounds of pork,
barrels of sugar, 5 crates of yellov
meal, 4 cases of oatmeal, 5 cases o
sliced pineapple. 2 cases of evaporatei
apples, 2 cases of evaporated peaches
150 pounds of butter and a keg of sou
pickles.

the Btores are bone dry spinach, cai
rots and such material. The solac
of nicotine is thoroughly appreciate
in the land of Arctic nights and, there
fore, in the consignment may be foun
smoking tobacco, cigars, cigarette
and corn cob pipes.
. In order to keep up amicable reli
tlons with the Eskimos, candies, je
lies and other sweets are found ubi
ful, and for the purpose of exchang
