Circumstances Opportune.
“Many liskl'inos had gathered on the
Greenland shares at Annaloak for the
winter bear hunt. immense quanti-
ties' of meat had been collected and
about the camp were plenty of strong
dogs. The combination wasslucky,
for there was good material for equip-
ment. All that was required was con-
venlently arranged for at a mint only

continued. “1 do not think the time

when he started with his Eskimos? He
must have done 12 miles a day to cover
the distance given in 35 days. No
other expedition has been able to do
anything near this. in the north one
