posed by Eskblaw. Mac promises

likewise be stationed at Urmanak
and placed under Eskblaw's direc-
tion by his (Mac's) order as leader
of the Expedition. Mac agrees fur-
thermore that Esk shall have all the
supplies and trading material need-
ed for subsistence and the work.

dered to Mac Millan all the Muse-
um and Expedition supplies and
trading material left of what came
north with me on the "Cluett".
Mac assures me that he has
not procured more than 200 fox
skins, that many of them were ob-
tained in exchange for the trading
watches donated to the Expedition
by the American Watch Co. (Wal-
tham Co) while the rest were got.
