BARTLETT'S FARTHEST 
blue, dead-game, unconquerable hero that he 
was, set out to do the work that was left for 
him to do; to knit the broken strands of our 
upward trail together, so that we who were 
at his rear could follow in safety. 
I have never heard the story of the return 
of Captain Bartlett in detail; his Esquimo 
boys were incapable of telling it, and Captain 
Bartlett is altogether too modest.
