them to do so but the proteus having been wrecked about twenty five miles to the north and went of littleton island must have pasted the last mentioned place the only way in which he could account for the failure to land the stores before proceeding northward wab was that it had been impossible to do so the fact that the yantic afterward found it impossible to make land in search of the boats he thought established this assumption ho he eaid bald greeley had sup supplies mor nor hla his part sufficient clent to maintain it until next spring but added that the question of the qua quality of supplies formerly at his station at lady franklin bay was wan not an important one tho iho great misfortune was wab the failure to provide supplies for him at littleton island and this was what made the loss 0 of f rne ine proteus such adi adl a disaster soter under the instructions upon which he was acting greeley would break camp he be bald baid at lady franklin bay about tho the latter end of

water were to be cromedy but the trouble would be met when lieutenant greeley reached littleton island if he found no supplies his situation would be critical indeed he might be ba able to bend send
