RECONNAISSANCE 



Our trip to the Russell Glacier has permitted us 

 to make out an adequate ration for the ice-cap 

 trip now soon to be undertaken. We have eaten 

 per man per day two thirds of a pound of Beau- 

 vais pemmican, one third of a pound of pilot bread, 

 one ninth of a pound of Knorr's pea soup, one 

 fourth of a pound of raisins, one bar of chocolate 

 and tea. This is all concentrated food, but I think 

 for a long trip a pound of Armour pemmican, a 

 quarter of a pound of pea soup and one half a 

 pound of pilot bread would be a better ration. In 

 meals when it is served the pea soup takes the 

 place of tea.
