Nansen's wss a most wonderful adventure and resulted In valuable additions to our knowledge of the arctic currents, etc., but the expedition whose achievements he outdid far surpassed It in scientific results and In the privations of its members. That was that of General, then lieutenant, Greeley, vthlch succeeded in reaching the farthest north then known to mortal man, when the sledge journey of Lieutenant Lockwood and Sergeant Bralnard resulted in the latitude of 83 degrees and 24 minutes being scored. Previous to that the record had been held by England for more than three centuries, but the remarkable expedition under Greely surpassing every other attempted by men of any nationality, won ths record for America. It was on ths 13th of May, 1882, after a terrible march with sledges, that Lockwood and Bralnard wrote their .names on the white fields of fame up there amid ths eternal snows, and with their glasses peered a few miles farther Into ths misty beyond and named the farthest point of land ever seen by man Caps Washington. The indications are that there is no abatement of the patriotic spirit of emulation that animated Kane and Hall, Wellman, Greely, Peary, Bralnard, Lockwood and all those gallant Americans who have striven to plant the Stars and Stripes nearest to ths pole. Indeed, at this very moment another American expedition is being matured for next year, backed by unlimited .wealth and experience, having for its sole object the distinction it will bring to the flag of our country.
