 marck to Cape Rigsdagen — where Koch parted from Mylius-Erich- 

 sen on the 28th of May 1907 ^ — Koch intended to penetrate through 

 Peary Channel and then if possible go down along the N.W. coast 

 of Greenland to Cape York.

1. the ship was not to leave Danmarks Havn earlier than the 

 1st of July 1908. 



2. If Koch did not return before the ship sailed the following
