Mrs. Griggs, spurred by an unconquerable optimism, climbed through the fog all the 

 way, while a party of the men lingered behind, waiting in vain for a break in the clouds. She 

 was rewarded by coming into clear air just before reaching the rim, but some of the men went 

 home without having ever beheld this wonder of wonders. 



pied almost as important a place in our 

 plans as the more technical scientific ob- 

 servations. Still pictures at best can 

 give only an inadequate conception of the 

 place. But the motion pictures brought 

 back by the expedition, showing the ma- 

 jestic rolling columns of the big volca- 

 noes, the sizzling fumaroles, and the leap- 

 ing salmon, are the next thing to a view 

 of the marvels themselves. The mem- 

 bers of The Society, some of whom have 

 had opportunity to see these films, will 

 be glad to know that such a record of 

 these unique phenomena has been pre- 

 served. 



The activities of the expedition were so 

 varied in 19 19 that the men were kept 

 scattered at different camps throughout 

 the season. It thus happened that some 

 of the men hardly saw each other during 

 the whole summer. Folsom, for example, 

 did not meet Savre until August 21, when 

 the season's work was almost done. 



At no time were all the members of the 

 expedition assembled on one spot. The 

 largest group was assembled at Kodiak, 



after the field season (see page 258) ; 

 but there were three faces missing, for 

 Jones had been compelled to leave early 

 and Jacob, with Ralph Hagelbarger, had 

 returned through the Bering Sea with a 

 cargo of specimens too heavy to be car- 

 ried over the pass.
