up and there, sure enough, was a schooner coming along the island 

 about twelve miles off. I told the native to run out to the edge of the 

 ice and attract their attention and he was off like the wind. Shortly 

 afterwards she headed in for the floe where she finally tied up, and 

 our troubles were over. A gang of men climbed over the bow and 

 headed for the beach. 



It proved to be the King and Winge of Seattle, owned by Mr. 

 Swenson, who was on board. They had along a moving picture man 

 with his machine and he marshaled us up and down for about ten 

 minutes, taking films of us. When that was finished we went on board 

 where we had a bath, a suit of clothes throughout, and a good fiU of 

 good grub. 



Then we started for Nome. We found the way pretty icy and when 

 it got dark we had to tie up to a cake and wait for daylight. Next 

 morning we continued on the same course and about ten A. M. we 

 sighted the United States Coast Guard Bear. When she hove along- 

 side she lowered a boat. Captain Bartlett came on board, heard the 

 news and ordered us on board the Bear, where we were royally treated 

 by Captain Cochrane and his officers. We continued on our way to 

 Nome where we arrived September 13, 1914.

Up to this we have for the sake of the point of view followed 

 Hadley's manuscript account. Hadley's story up to the separation from 

 Captain Bartlett corresponds to Chapters 8-18 of Bartlett and Hale's 

 "Last Voyage of the Karluk." At the landing on Wrangel Island 

 eight men of the Karluk party were missing and probably lost. These 

 were the Mate's party — First Mate Anderson, Second Mate Barker, 

 and the sailors King and Brady; and the Doctor's party — Dr. Mackay, 

 Murray, Beuchat and the sailor Morris. There were living and well, 

 except for Malloch's slightly frozen feet, the following : Bartlett, Breddy, 

 Chafe, Hadley, Malloch, Mamen, Maurer, McKinlay, Munro, Temple- 

 man, Williams, Williamson, the Eskimos Kataktovik and Kurraluk, 

 the latter's wife Keruk, and their two little daughters, Makperk and 

 Helen. 



Practically Bartlett had before him now the choice of two courses. 

 He might take the entire party directly ashore where, as he knew 

 especially through Hadley, there is a continuous native population east- 

 ward along the coast to Bering Straits. These people are well supplied 

 with food, for not only have they the ordinary hunting resources but 

 they have neighbors inland who own huge herds of domestic reindeer, 

 and there are also some traders on the coast, both Russian and American, 

 from whom the natives purchase in the summer a certain amount of 

 groceries for vsdnter. There would be no problem when they once got 

 ashore about traveling safely and comfortably eastward to the larger
