EXPEDITION OF 1898-1902 349 



of May, eleven marches brought us back to Payer 

 Harbour on the 17th of May. A few days after this 

 I went north to complete the survey of the inner por- 

 tions of Dobbin Bay, being absent from headquarters 

 some ten days. Open water vetoing a trip which I 

 had planned for June up Buchanan Bay and across to 

 the west coast of Ellesmere Land, the remainder of 

 the time was devoted to assiduous hunting, in order to 

 secure a supply of meat for the winter, in the con- 

 tingency of no ship arriving. 



On the 5th of August the new Windward, sent north 

 by the Club, and bringing to me Mrs. Peary and my 

 little girl, steamed into the harbour. As soon as 

 people and supplies could be hurried aboard her, she 

 steamed across the Sound to the Greenland side. 

 Here my faithful Eskimos were landed, and, after 

 devoting a week or so to the work of securing sufficient 

 walrus to carry them in comfort through the winter, 

 the Windward steamed southward, and, after an un- 

 eventful voyage, arrived at Sydney, C. B., on the 17th 

 of September, where I had the pleasure of meeting 

 Secretary Bridgman, of the Club, and forwarding 

 through him a brief report of my movements during 

 the past year.
