any of us suppose then that the coal and the provisions supplied to the Expedition would be called upon for two four years of service or that they could answer the call, if made. Nevertheless, The American Museum got together barometers to take the place of those broken on the voyage to Etah, a box of scientific supplies to take to make good the deficiency caused by the failure of the original box to connect with the "Diana" at Boston on the way northward, other desired supplies and much mail matter to be sent to Etah Mr. Mac Millan in the Summer of 1914, since several enterprises had been proposed as means of trans- portation. One after another these projects failed to materialize and finally even that of Henry Scott to visit his mineral prospects in the Jones Sound region, with a side trip to Etah, fell through, and thus we could not communicate with our men that year, except through the mail via Denmark. This goes by steamer to Upernavik and thence by dog sledge once a year over the remaining stretch of 400 miles of sea ice and glacier to the Danish trading and scientific station at North Star Bay and thence similarly by special conveyance 140 miles farther to Etah Great things were hoped for from the wireless tele.
