Protestor Ileilprin went on to tell of
an expedition that will utart from Nor

the wakoof tho suitor's nether garments,
the idea being that tho waters will carry

Tho way pointed out by Parry in lSii'.l,

that Parry's views (if the proper way tu

The chief result of Peary's work
from a geographical standpoint the lec
turer declared, was tho final settlement
of (ireciilaiid's northern boundary. The
territory has at last been proven to he

moreover, is not. covered with ice and
