He was cautioned not to waste a minute and to be sure to overtake us at our camp that night, and he was soon disappearing into the wind haze in our rear.
Still farther on I met Kudlooktoo, returning on the same errand, and a little later came upon some of the other divisions that had been obliged to stop to repair their sledges which had suffered severely in their encounters with the rough ice.
Finally I reached the captain's first camp, ten miles out.

Here I took one of the two igloos, and Marvin took the other.

The divisions of Goodsell, MacMillan, and Henson were to build their own igloos this first night.

Bartlett and Borup being in advance, would each build an igloo at every one of their camps.

I, being the oldest man in the party, was to take one of these, and the order of precedence in which the divisions of Marvin, MacMillan, Goodsell, and Henson were to occupy the second of the already constructed igloos had been determined by lot at Columbia, the first lot falling to Marvin.
