THE RELIEF OF CARLSON AT MOUNT EVANS 



Potter had already come in, but before his arrival 

 Belknap, a good deal worried, in spite of his bad 

 knee had gone out with Schneider in search of 

 Potter. This made it necessary for Carlson him- 

 self to go out and bring in the search party. All 

 were tired out but they rested the next day, only 

 the necessary work being done. Belknap's knee 

 had been injured in a running contest at the Uni- 

 versity, and strained as it was on this trip, it gave 

 him much trouble later in the season. A mistake 

 had been made in not remaining in camp despite 

 the discomfort, and again in letting the party get 

 separated. The Eskimos came in quietly about 

 ten o'clock the next morning. They had followed 

 the route planned and, picking up the canoe at 

 the portage, they had paddled up the fjord for the 

 last thirty miles of the journey.
