FROM NEW YORK TO ETAH 5 



Moses Bartlett, mate, a second cousin of the captain, 

 was 47 years old, 6 feet high, and weighed 184 pounds. 

 He had already been as far north as Cape Sabine 

 three times; twice as mate of my ships and once 

 as mate of the Neptune, and had also spent a 

 year on this ship in Hudson Bay in the employ 

 of the Canadian Government. Weather-beaten, griz- 

 zled, and keen of eye, he was regarded as one of the 

 best of the Newfoundland ice pilots. 



George A. Wardwell, chief engineer, was a native 

 of Bucksport, Maine, 44 years of age, 5 feet 11 

 inches tall, and weighed 240 pounds. Acting as 

 engineer in the shipyard in which the Roosevelt 

 was built and intimately employed in her construc- 

 tion, he was deeply interested in her proposed work 

 and anxious to join the expedition. His phlegmatic 

 temperament, and evident capacity for work, com- 

 bined with non-use of liquor and tobacco, were all 

 strong points in his favour. 



John Murphy, boatswain, was a native Newfound- 

 lander, 31 years of age, 5 feet 11 inches tall, and 

 weighed 165 pounds. Sailor and fisherman from the 

 age of eighteen, he had also been as far north as 

 Cape Sabine on the Neptune and had wintered with 

 her in Hudson Bay. 



Murtaugh J. Malone, assistant engineer, was a 

 native of Portland, Maine, 49 years of age, 5 feet 

 7 1 inches tall, and weighed 150 pounds. 



Dr. Louie J. Wolf, surgeon of the Expedition, was 

 a native of Oregon, 30 years of age, 5 feet 9 inches 

 tall, weighed 150 pounds, was a graduate of the 

 Cooper Medical College, San Francisco, California,
