Washington, I. C, July 18 Rear
Admiral Nichols, actiog secretary of
uavy, and Gendrul Ilazen, chief signal
officer, had a conference today, at which
it was concluded to suggest to Com
mander Schley that he bring the survi
vors of the Greely party from S'.
Johns to Portland, Maine, where they
can remaiu until better prepared to
stand the change of climate. Their
families can join tin m at Portland if so
desired.
CARINO FOR THE A.RT1C DEAD.
The following telegram from Com
mander Schley was received at the navy
department this afternoon:
St. Johns, J uly 18. To Hon. Wm. E.
Chandler, secretary of the navy: Iron
caskets for the dead will be delivered
July 25. Aa soon as the remains are
transferred to them I will sail for New
York, advising you when ready. A
week ot rest, for officers and men after
their incessant labor and peril of the
past sixty days is most grateful to
them. Your telegram and that of the
acting secretary, Admiral Nichols, gave
us great satisfaction. Please accept our
thanks for them. Iu respect to the
memory of the dead on board, thefligs
of the ship will fly at half mast during
my stay. Signed.
W. S. Schley, Commander.
THE WELCOME SOUND.
St. Johns, N. F., July 18, Sergeant
Long of the Greely party was the first
to respond to the welcome tone of the
steam whistle. He says he and Ser
geant Brainard were first to hear the
sound and they helped each other to
crawl out of the tent. When Long
got clear of the entanglement of the
tent, which had been swept to the
ground, he rose to his feet with great
difficulty and succeeded in clambering
up to a rock that gave the most exten
sive view in that neighborhood. Brain
ard went back to the tent but Long re
mained looking out searchingly iu ev
ery direction for some strange craft.
At length he saw the unwonted sight
of a large black object about a mile
distant which at first looked like a
rocs, but he knew there was no rock
iu that line. Suddenly the approach
ing steam launch changed its course
and Long recognized the approach of
the rescuers, lie came down from the
rock and went towards the camp.
RAISING THE FLAG
pole and flag which had blown down
during the gale and held it for about
two minutes until his strength gave
out and it was blown once more to i!n
ground. lie then advanced in the di
rection of the little stream and in a few
navy to remain at St. Johns until there
are twelve iron caskets constructed to
receive the bodies of the deceased ex
plorers. The survivors are all doing
well, but are still weak and Buffering
from nervous prostration. Lieutenant
Greely has improved from 129 ouuds
weight on the 22nd of June to 109 lb.
today.
IMPROVING IN UEALTn.
Sergeaut Brainard and others, are
pulling up proportionately. The weath
er here is delightful and all that could
be desired for the sufferers. Great sym
pathy is evinced for the sufferers and
dead, and every token of respect is man
fested. THE THETIS AND BEAR,
as they ride quietly at anchor in the
harbor, wear a sombre and mournful
appearance with the flag of the United
States at half mast.

Maurice Connell, who is still excess
ively weak, stated ia n interview that
for some days after Lis rescue he had
no recollection of anything that traus
t ired. He did not bear tbe awaken
ing 3cream of the whistle. When Li
comrades shook him up from his pros
trate position in camp, and told him of
the succor athaDd he wildly ticla:med.
"For God's sake let me iie in peace.
A teaspoouful of brandy was applied
to his lips to call back feeling; The
life spark for Connell could not have
survived longer than a few hours. He
Was by iar the weakest man of the sev-
eu survivors, and the strongest man
mu3t have succumbed in torty-eight
hours. :
THE STORY TOLD BY CONNELL,
t orn his recollection of their stormy
experience is simply heartrending.
How they burned the hair off their seal
kin boots and coats, cut them into
strips, boiled them into a stew, and ate
of them till their stomachs rebelled,
and nausea and weakneq essued. , la
several cases nature gave no ca'l for
twelve, fifteen and even eighteen day?,
an i then bloody hemorrhage and con
sequent weakness ansued, prostrating
the victim for several - days. The diffi
culty in keeping heat in the body was
very great. The rule of the camp was
to permit no one to sleep . longer than
two hours. He was awakened roughly
and called upon to shake - himself " and
beat bis bands and pound his feet and
store circulation. This was found ab
solutely necessary t prevent torpor
aad possible death, tfce usual accompa-
Limeats of iuieuse cold.
