RELIEF EXPEDITION SAILS FOR THE NORTH 



The auxiliary 

 schooner "George B. 

 duett" starting out 

 from New York on 

 the first leg of her 

 long journey to 



Captain H. C. Pickles, Commander of the MacMillan Relief Expedition, which started off on 



the auxiliary schooner "George B. Cluett" on June 9, bound for Etah, with the object of 



finding Donald B. MacMillan and his party. MacMillan set out in 1913 under the auspices 



of the American Museum of Natural History.
