THE ILLUSTRATIONS. 221 



All the above-mentioned gentlemen saved more or less 

 of their work, but the following lost their negatives and cam- 

 eras : Dr. Jules F. Valle, for twenty years a noted amateur, 

 had undoubtedly the finest collection of native character- 

 studies ever collected. Professor L. L. Dyche, the naturalist, 

 Commodore G. W. Gardner, A. R. Thompson, and A. B. 

 Brown trusted too mucli to the staunchness of the Miranda, 

 and have nothing for their labor. 



Never did a set of men work more harmoniously, ear- 

 nestly, and enthusiastically than did my friends, the amateur 

 photographers of the Cook Arctic Expedition of 1894.
