Sometimes it is necessary to travel for twenty-four hours without stopping for food.
The Cape Richardson party returned on the evening of the 19th, and was sent out again on the 21st, nineteen Eskimos and twenty-two sledges, to take 6,600 pounds of dog pemmican to Porter Bay.

MacMillan, being still under the weather with the grip, missed this preliminary training; but I felt certain that he would overtake the experience of the others as soon as he was able to travel.

When the third party returned, on the 24th, they brought back the meat and skins of fourteen deer.

(A Typical Unit Division of the Expedition) (Tents Were Used for Shelter in Earlier Autumn Hunting and Transportation of Supplies.

In Winter Traveling and in the Sledge Journey Igloos Were Used)] On the 28th there was a general exodus from the ship: Henson, Ootah, Alletah, and Inighito were to hunt on the north side of Lake Hazen; Marvin, Poodloonah, Seegloo, and Arco on the east end and the south side of Lake Hazen; and Bartlett, with Panikpah, Inighito, Ooqueah, Dr.
Goodsell, with Inighito, Keshungwah, Kyutah, and Borup, with Karko, Tawchingwah, and Ahwatingwah, were to go straight through to Cape Columbia.
I had planned from the beginning to leave most of the hunting and other field work to the younger members of the expedition.
