CAMP AT COLUMBIA 
camp for the western side of the cape, to get 
the four sledge-loads of rations that had been 
taken there the previous November. Got the 
loads and pushed south to Cape Aldrich, which 
is a point on the promontory of Cape Colum- 
bia. From Cape Aldrich the Commander 
intends to attack the sea-ice. 
After unloading the supplies on the point, 
we came back to camp at Cape Columbia. 
Shortly afterwards Captain Bartlett came into 
camp from his musk-ox-hunt around Parr 
Bay. He had not shot a thing and was very 
tired and discouraged, but I think he was glad 
to see me. He was so hungry that I gave 
him all the stew, which he swallowed whole. 
MacMillan and his party showed up about 
an hour after the Captain, and very shortly 
after George Boiiip came driving in, like 
"Ann Eliza Johnson, a swingin' down the 
line." I helped Mr, Borup build his igloo, for 
wliich he was grateful. He is a plucky young 
fellow and is always cheerful. He told us 
that Professor Marvin, according to the sched- 
ule, had left the ship on the 20th, and the Com- 
mander on the 21st, so they must be well on 
the way.
