532 requested by Mr. Mac Millan to ren- der what medical assistance should be needed by the crew of the "Clrett" without interfering with his duties to the Crocker Land Expedition and provided transportation were furn- isbed by the "Clrett's" master. Dr. Hunt expressed his willingness to accede to Mac Millan's request, Inasmuch as I, representing the Museum, suggested to Mac Millan in my first letter after our detention the probable need that the crew might have for the services of a physician it may be assumed that the arrangement was made with my knowledge and consent. It seems the only humane thing to do under the circumstances. I hope that the service will be ap- preciated by the owners and cap- tain of the schooner.
