380 I. P. Косн. 
he has made perspective sketches, on which he numbered the 
bearings (as examples see Pl. VI in Medd. om Gronl. XLI and PI. VI 
in Medd. om Стоп. XLVI). However, there are no numbers on HAGEN’s 
panorama of June 1st'). It must therefore, I suppose, be looked 
upon as a landscape sketch, meant for reproduction purposes, and 
the careful execution seems to point in the same direction (As far 
as I know, neither MyLius-ERICHSEN nor HAGEN did any photographic 
work on this journey). Further, there is the possibility that the 
sketch has been meant to prove the surprising discovery that the 
“Peary Channel” did not exist. 
The fact that there is no indication whatever of place or direction 
on the panorama places considerable difficulty in the way of under- 
standing it. 
Now supposing HAGEN's standing place to be Mylius-Erichsen’s 
Cairn, one may identify Point 2 (Fig. 58) as the point on Academy 
Kyst, which is touched by a sighting line from the cairn. According 
to HAGEN's croquis (Pl. IV, Medd. om Grønl. XLI) this point lies at 
a distance of about 17 km from the cairn, and in the direction about 
N 123° W?). If this bearing is laid down on FREUCHEN’s map of 
1912 (Fig. 59) we find, however, that it does not touch the coast line, 
but falls considerably outside the latter. In other words, there is in 
this very place a divergence between the coast line of HAGEN and 
FREUCHEN, which becomes of great importance in understanding the 
panorama sketch, in that on it rests the fact, whether or not Navy 
Cliff is visible from Mylius-Erichsen’s Cairn. It therefore becomes 
necessary to subject the bearings shown by HAGEN (Medd. om Grenl. 
XLI, Pl. V) to a closer investigation. 
On Pl. V HAGEN has shown two bearings from the cairn with 
the directions of about М 55° W and М 89? W. Further two other 
bearings have been sketched from the station out on the ice — on 
FREUCHEN’s map (Fig. 59) this station is indicated by b — with an 
approximate direction N 121° W and N 130° W; the latter is presum- 
ably, according to HAGEN’s representation, to be a tangent to Academy 
Kyst. These four bearings, like the above-mentioned direction 
М 123° W, are laid down in FREUCHEN’s map (Fig. 59) with fully 
drawn lines. 
N55°W. If this bearing is laid down in Hacen’s Pl. IV (Medd. 
om Gronl. XLI) it practically impinges upon the eastern border of.a 
glacier, which is designated as Marie Sophie Bræen. On FREUCHEN’S 
map the bearing on the other hand crosses Heilprin Land 10°—20° 
') All the numbers and other designations have been added by the author. 
*) That the frames of the map run north—south appears from the original, which 
is to be found at the Royal Library of Copenhagen.
