The story is sent from Nome, Alaska, by Lieut. Ralph Dempwolf. Up to the time of the sudden dis- aster all those on board were well and in good condition. During the drift to the north and northwest the scientists aboard looked forward to & drift across the pole, One peculiar discovery was made when the ship drifted across the lo- cality supposed to be Keenan Land, found on the polar charts north of Point Barrow. Apparently this land does not exist. On Christmas day, 19183, all hands gct out on the ice pack around the ship and played football and other sports for prizes given by Captain Bartlett. The games were followed by a Christmas dinner. 3 McKinley took daily meteorologi- cal data and is the only seientist to survive who 'has been able to keep his notes. Ja..es Murray, the natur- alist of the expedition, who is miss- ing, also took many meteorological observations. His data and notes are lost. During the drift Captain Bartlett, no doubt thinking of possible disas- ter, had skin clothing made for all the ship's company by Kalillak and wife, Eskimos from Point Barrow. He also had the ledges and gear put in order, and a$/a daily routine the ship's crew chopped the ice around the Karluk intg 8mall pieces to make a cushion agaifngl the pressure of the ice pack. On Jan. 10 thb Karluk was crush ed by the ice along the, water line. All on board at once set 'to work getting supplies and stores off the ship, and a temporary camp was t established on the ice near Wrangel Island. Captain Barflett was the last to leave the ship,' and as she' took her final plunge the phonograph .in the galley, which he had set going, could be heard playing a stirring march. Dr. Mackay, Murray, Henri Beau- chet and the seaman Morris, were th first to leave the temporary camp. They insisted that an attempt to reach land should be made at once, Dr. Mackay, who was in charge of this party, insisted om pulling the sledges b;' hand, making the mistake of trying to use Amtarctic methods in the Arctic. In the Antarctic, after passing the barrier, one is on a firm foundation, but in the Arctic the entire ice pack is continually moving and is affected by the winds and currents, necessi- tating a greater amount of traveling Using dogs to haul the sledges saves the strength of the men for march- ing. The Mackay party had not been gone many days when they lost half their provisions. Beauchet had both of his hands frozen. - When they were last seen they were making slow progress toward Wrangel Island. The other missing party, which was in charge of First Mate Ander- Fon, wis the second to leave ship wreck camp. The gale made the enormous pres- sure ridge on the north side of Wran- gel Island, which was afterward con- quered despite almost overwhelming difficulties by Bartlett's party, the last to leave camp. Although the gale had died down when they reach- ed the ridge, the great mass of ice, fifty feet high and three miles wide, was still grinding together undey the momentum the ice had gathered in the gale, and they had to wait two days' before attempting the passage. After Bartlett left to attempt the crossing of Bering Strait to get help McKinley, Hadley, Bredin and Kuril- luk, the Eskimo, with his wife and two children, established a camp near Waring point, on the east coast of Wrangel Island. They named the bay near by McKinley bay. Monro, Malloch, Mamen, William- gon, Chafe, Templemen, Williams and Mauer camped at Rodgers Har- bor, on the south coast of the island. They lived in dugouts under the snow until May and then moved into the tents. On Wrangell Island, near the tent of the living, Bjarn Mamen, assist- ant to the geologist, and George S. Malloch, geologist and topographer, were buried. It is not known just what they died of, but it was not 'seurvy. The provisions gave out the first week in June. From then on three polar bears, several young white foxes, seagulls, walrus, seals and ducks without salt were their fare For three months and some days not even meat was to be had. On these days breakfast consisted of hot water and dioper of soup made of hot water and cracked ducks' bones, which Kurilluk's wife had the fore- sight to save from the last meal.
