On the opposite side of Spitzbergen ninety miles away, there was a cache contuining food supplied by the Danish and Swedish governments for the use of shipwrecked sailors, | the existence of which was kuown to Momsan, and he found that by send- ing thirty men across the island to} the cache there would be sufficient provisions on board the two ships to last the remainder till the ice broke up in the following July. Volunteers were called for and thirty were selected from among the crews of both vessels to cross the island in sledges to the cache, which they expected to reach in thirty days The men left, and a few days afterward Momsan and his fellow captain got clear, owing to an unex pected breaking up of the ice They immediately set sail for Norway, knowing that the cache contained sufficient provisions to keep the thir ty men who were left behind alive tili the following summer.

Captain Momsan says that he went ashore with a sinking heart, for he feared the worst. and the result proved that he was right, for on en tering the hut built over the cache, he found himself in the presence of thirty dead bodies. The leader of the expedition sat at the table dead, with his open diary before him writ- ten up to within three days of Mom san’s arrival, and in it he explained that the men suffered such hardship in crossing Spitzbergen that they ate ravenously wheu they reached the cache. In that climate, he said, it was ab- solutely necessary to health that exercise should be taken in the open air fora certain number of hours every day, but that he had been powerless to enforce discipline among them and the result was that that of De Lesseps, Sr Nobody can forget the role he has played or that it was he whom the public named bis whereabouts could not be learn ed.
