During the first month the cold affected the men more than at any subsequen: time at Fort Conger. Later on in December the temperature sank to {rom 50 tw 65_degress below zero, and so remained for days at a time,but even in that weather the cook’s favorite amusement was dancing bareheaded,bare- armed, and with slippered feet on the top of a snow-dritt. During the day the men dressed in or- dinary outside clotuing,but their flannels were very heavy. | Five of the men were generally for a part of the day engaged in sclentific work under Lieut. Greely’s direction, and in the dutles of the camp. ‘The rest of the men were employed generally about one hour'e day, and devoted the remainder of the Ume to amusement. All slept in bunks The quarters were heated by a large coal stove, the average heat maintained being 50 degrees above zero. “Playing checkers, cards and_ chess and read- ing Were the amusements of the evening. The life was sald by Lieut. Greely to be far from a lonely one, and many of the men said they had hever passed two happler years Unan those spent av Fort Conger. ‘The thermometer registered _on June 30, 1862, the highest temperature at Lady Franklin bay known during the stay. It was 82 degreesabove zero. The lowest was In February, 1883, and was 66 degrees beiow zero. ‘The highest barometer was slightly above 31 inches, and the lowest sifchtly below 29 inches, showing a great range. ‘The elcctrometer, an Instrument “used to ascertain the presence of electricity, Was set up, UL to the astonishinent of Lieut, Gively not the slightest results were ob- in A cURrovs Fact. In the course of the tidal observations made a ‘Very interesting fact was discovered, viz: that the Udes at Lady Franklin bay come from the north, while those at Melville bay and Cape Sabine come from the south. The temperature of this north Ude Is two degrees warmer than that of the south Ude at Cape Sabine. Why thts was Lieut Greely would not venture to state. LOCK WOOD'S TRIPS TO THE NORTH ‘tn 1882 and 1883 were productive of the most valu- able results Standing on the 19th of May in each year where Dr. Hayes had formerly stood at about the same day, Loci fect, using his strongest glass on Hail’s besin and Robeson’s chaunel, could discern nothing but lee pack, (Here it was’ Dr. Hays cialmed to have sen US open Polar sea. On Une trip of 1882 Lockwood reached the highest latitude ever autamed, 83 25 north. This was about 30) miles directly north of Lady Franklin bay. Lockwood sounded the sea both years between Cape Bryant and Cape Britan- bia, but cou:d not touch bottom With 135 fathouws of line. Lockwood found at his farthest north about the same vegetation as at Lady Franklin bay, but no signs of a Polar current or Open Polar seu.’ In 1883 he was stopped near Cape Bryant, 125 Milles Iron Lady Frankiin bay, by an open channel extending west to the coust of Gapnnell Land. ‘The ‘Width of this channei varied frum 200 yards to five tailes, but on Une north the ice packs exiended as far as could be seen with a glass. With hls supply of provisions, the ‘allure of which had caused his: return the Hare before, Lockwood Was ifident ‘that he could have reached 8 degrees north if Unis open channel had not burred his way. All through the two years at Lady Franklin bay the magnetic needle Was never qulet except during ators, SUFFERINGS ON THE RETREAT. On August 19th, 1883, the men embarked in the ‘steam launch for the journey south. The floating ice made navigation diftcuit, aaieee trip was one of great hardship. The party waS caught in the ice'and trozen fa ten miles south of Cape. Hawkes In thirteen days they drifted south twenty-five iniles on the floes, suffering horribly from the cold. So they drifted to within eleven miles of Cape Sa- toabandon the steam launch on September 10. They were tossed about in the ice floe until September 29th, when they gained land at Eequimaux point, near Batrd’s Inlet. Here winter quarters were built and scouts were sent to Cape Isabella and Cape Sabine. In a few days they returned. Their report sent A THRILL OF HORROR toevery heart. At Cape Isabella and Cape Sabine were found only 1,800 rations, and from Garling- ton’s records they learned the fate of the Proteus. Every one knew that death must come to nearly ail of the party long before the ship of rescue could force its way into Melville bas. Efforts were made to sustain the spirits of the men by lectures and light reading. On October 15 the party removed to Cape Sabine. On January 18 Cross died of scurvy. In April the ration issued daily had dwindled to four ounces of meat and six ounces of bread. | Man after man died, an fled, when, on. Stormy day, the blast of the Thetis whistl¢. roused the Survivdrs from the lethargy of approaching THE OPEN POLAR SEA. Lieut. Greely, when asked as to his ideasupon the probable regults of arctic explorations, sald: “I do not think the north pole can be reached unless every circumstance hitherto found to be unfavora. Die should prove favorable to the attempt to reach the pole. If it 1s to be de done by way of Franz Josef Land. It could never have been reached by the Jeannette’sroute. That there 1s an open Polar sea I am well-nigh certain. ‘This is proved by the ice drifting out of Mussel bay andSpitzbergen in midwinter, and the northern Grit of the polar pack experienced by Pavy and | Lockwood in 82 degrees and 83 minutes.” Lieut. Greety’s Mentat Anguish, THE STORIES OF CANNIBALISM NEWS TO HIM. In another interview at Portsmonth Saturday Lieut. Greely sald, as to the reports of dtvistons in ‘the expedition, that they were entirely without foundation, and no il! feeling existed between him- self and Lieut. Kislipgbury. Tn regard to the con- Aitfon of Lieut. Kislingbury’s body he said ‘that it Wasnews, horrible news, to him. All these. dis- closures and dreadful charges, he says, came uy im with awful suddenness, and nave caused him more mental anguish than all the experiences trom which Gel oer! in the north leutenant: ‘says Uhat"he cap but report that if there was any cannibalism, and he admits that there now seems to be no doubt about It, the man-eating was done in s without his ‘knowledge and contrary tp hits discipline. “Since my revurn from Newbur port,” he continued, “every one of my men has called upon me. They came in a bedy and assurea Ime emphatically that they knew nothing about the condition of the bodies of their fallen comrades apdeach solemnly swore that he was innocent.” ‘The Struggle for Existence. ‘The New York Times of yesterday says that as the situation at Cape Sabine became more desper- ate the starving men began to acteach one for himself, and the stronger had the advantage. It ‘says that the first reports of the condition of the rescued men when first found were greatly exag- gerated, and that Sergeants Long, Brainerd and Fredericks walked to the steam launch unassisted tna gale that tried the sallors of the relief ships to keep their feet, Besides the duck which Long was eating, two more which had been shot by him were found behind rocks near the wintercamp. When Brainerd reached the Thetis a sailor handed him a EE: of hard tack. Hedid not eat it, but handed it back with the remark that he knew he should ‘not eat, although he would like to. Brainerd was the weakest of the three, but Long and Fredericks, banded sogether, would have lived, it is thought, a while. ‘They were not in the reduced condi- Uon that has been reported. ‘The Bodies of the Dead. ‘Mrs. Linn, the mother of Sergeant David Linn, Wants to have the body of her son exhumed to ascertain if he was shot, because she saw him in a dream with a bleeding wound in his back.
