Ekblaw and I had a conference this
morning with Captain Pickels in which
I told him that conditions in N.W. Greenland
as reported to me by Mr. Ekblaw and
others made it necessary for Dr. Hunt,
Captain Corner and me to return home-
ward on the "Cluvett", in case the schoo-
lr leaves before the arrival of a relief stea-
er from the Museum. Mr. Ekblaw
said that he would spare 16 lb flour, 1/2 qt cornmeal, 1 keg molasses from expedition
stores if needed for the ship or account.
