As far as known no one has ever undertaken un-dertaken this feat. Captain Bartlett, who commanded the Roosevelt, has managed many successful sealing trips to the north. Mr. Whitney said of his plans on the present trip: "That all depends of course on our luck. The Neptune will accommodate a cargo of 35,000 seals, but whether we will be lucky enough 'TO P ! to bring back as many as that of course we can't say, but I am prepared for almost anything that may happen. "With this motion picture apparatus I hope to get some good views. Not only do I hope to be able to get pictures of the actual scenes attendant upon the sealing, but pictures of the ship in the Ice and many things of interest incidental to the trip. I have with me 20,000 feet of Elm and I hope I will not spoil it all." |
