ish Columbia. As the study of the Eskimo was one 
of the most interesting objects of the expeditions 
we quite naturally had two anthropologists besides 
Stefansson, one, Dr. Henri Beuchat of Paris, the 
other, Dr. D. Jenness, an Oxford Rhodes Scholar, 
from New Zealand. The magnetician was William 
Laird McKinlay, a graduate of the University of 
Glasgow, who had been studying in the Canadian 
Meteorological Observatory in Toronto. The pho¬ 
tographer was George H. Wilkins, a New Zeal¬ 
ander, who had been a photographer in the Balkan 
War and possessed mechanical ability. He had 
a motion-picture apparatus as well as other cam¬ 
eras. In medical charge of the expedition was 
Dr. Alister Forbes Mackay, who had served in the 
British navy after his graduation from the Uni¬ 
versity of Edinburgh, and, like Murray, had ac¬ 
companied Shackleton into the Antarctic. Five 
of these twelve men, as shall be related, were to 
lay down their lives in the cause of science during 
the coming year. 
The crew consisted of the following: R. A. Bart¬ 
lett, master; Alexander Anderson, first officer; 
Charles Barker, second officer; John Munro, chief 
engineer; Robert J. Williamson, second engineer; 
Robert Templeman, steward; Ernest F. Chafe, 
messroom boy; John Brady, S. Stanley Morris, A.
