visibly
when
he
fought
with
a
.fortnight's
gale.
The
shore
party
on
the
successful
day
of
the
mumy
find
consisted
of
Stoll,
Weyer,
Bird
and
Mc-Cracken.
Bird,
the
best
climber,
went
ahead
up
the
unscalable
ramparts,
the
party
climbing
up
by
inches
and
at
times
pausing
to
keep
from
being
swept
into
the
surf
of
the
Behring
Sea
below.
Finally
the
top
was
reached
and,
though
the
energy
of
all
was
almost
spent,
one
of
the
party
suddenly
observed
the
sign
of
a
human
hand.
There,
half
covered
by
moss
and
sand,
lay
a
sort
of
mound
built
up
from
heavy
flakes
of
surrounding
granite
and
sunk
deep
in
a
natural
vault
of
the
rock.
Bracing
themselves
against
the
wind,
the
explorers,
working
with
the
scant
geological
tools
they
had
brought,
little
by
little
opened
up
the
Arctic
sarcophogus
consisting
of
a
large
wooden
burial
vault
containing
the
four
mummified
bodies.
The
structure
was
fashioned
frpm
well
shaped
and
mortised
drift
logs
fastened
together
by
bone
nails,
the
workmanship
being
skilful
and
perfectly
preserved.
It
was
at
a
point
GOO
miles
from
the
nearest
wooded
country.
The
vault,
lined
with
well
cured
otter
skins
surfaced
by
a
finely
woven
grass
fabric,
was
divided
into
two
parts,
one
of
which
contained
the
body
of
what
appeared
to
be
a
person
of
high
rank,
the
other
mummies
of
two
more
adults
and
the
infant.
The
ancient
Ice
King
was
dressed
in
a
coat
of
tanned
sea
otter
surmounted
by
another
layer
of
grass
skin
and
the
whole
enclosed
in
a
parchment-like
layer
of
sea
lion
intestine.
The
other
bodies
were
also
well
wrapped.
It
took
a
rope
'
bridge
to
a
nearby
pinnacle
to
;
swing
the
heavy
casket
down
to
.
wnere
it
could
be
taken
in
charge
by
the
Morrissey't
crew
of
husky
Newfoundlanders.
Speaking
of
the
expedition
in
a
brief
interview
this
morning
Mr.
i
McCracken
stated
that
the
relies
i
obtained
tnetuded
a
fine
group
of
j
walrus
which
were
shot
and
will
be
preserved
and
placed
in
the
American
Museum
of
Natural
His-
j
tory.
A
fine
collection
of
Arctic
'
birds
has
alto
been
brought
back
from
which
will
be
chosen
ma
terial
for
an
Arctic
bird
group.
Another
interesting
dlseovery
of
the
expedition
was
the
abundance
of
jellyfish
which
were
found
in
the
Arctic
regions.
The
'conception
of
the
average
person
!
is
that
jellyfish
flourish
mostly
j
in
tropical
waters.
!
The
intrepid
students
of
natural
i
history
were
surprised
at
the
many
visits
paid
to
their
boat
by
songbird,
even
as
S'ar
as
one
hundred
miles
out
in
the
Arctic
I
ice
off
Wrangell
Island.
The
expedition
found
no
land
in
the
unexplored
areas
225
miles
northwest
of
Point
Barrow
which
were
visi'.ed
after
the
mummy
find.
Landingswere
made
neither
at
Wrangell
Island
or
at
Herald
Island
and
there
was
no
trace
of
human
beings
on
either
island
although
there
were
reported
to
be
Russians
on
Wrangell.
Exhibit
Mummies
Mr.
McCracken
announced
that
one
of
the
mummies
would
be
exhibited
in
the
show
window
of
Max
Heilbroner's
jewelry-
store
while
the
party
is
In
the
city
this
week.
Sneaking
of
the
trlgjhtg
morning,
Capt.
Bartlett
stated
that
only
three
days
of
fine
weather
had
been
experienced
throughout
the
summer.
Ice
was,,
frequently
encountered
and
there
was
much
wind
and
thick
weather.
However,
it
was
feared
at
no,
time
that
the
Morrissiy
would
be
unable
to
i;et
out
thi;
season.
Early
in
the
season,
the
propeller
of
the
staunch
li
;
le
Morriessey
was
broken
and
the
voyage
thereafter
was
subjected
to
delay.
When
the
vessel
finally
got
into
the
Arctic,
ice
conditions
and
weather
were
bad
and
the
hunting
season
was
over.
The
Morrissey
will
go
on
dry
dock
here
for
the
next'
week
for
painting
and
overhaul
to
