CHAPTER XXV 



ABOAED THE TRAMP-SHIP FULTON 



HEN we came aboard the 

 Disko lying at anchor in 

 Godthaab Harbor, I was pleased to learn that no 

 account of our shipwreck had yet gone out over 

 the Disko radio, so a hurried note was sent to the 

 New York Times with a brief account of the 

 shipwreck and rescue. Here at Godthaab in the 

 few hours which remained before the Disko was 

 scheduled to sail, it would be necessary to ar- 

 range for the transportation of five members of 

 the Expedition to the mining settlement of Ivig- 

 tut in extreme southern Greenland, so that 

 they might sail to Philadelphia on the ore-freighter 

 Wagland which was to depart at some uncertain 

 date late in September.
