Included In the cargo of the schoo­
ner Bowdoin. In which Dr. Donald
MacMillan recently left on another
expedition into northern ice fields,
was a bronze tablet which will com-
memorate the memory of Amerlcan
soldiers in one of the most northerly
monuments in the world.
The tablet, to be placed on Cape
Sabine, Ellesmere Island, more than
SUU miles within the Arctic circle in
latitude 78 degrees, 45 minutes
north, will mark th«' scene of one of
the most tragic passages in the his­
tory of American Arctic exploration.
It will be In honor of 16 officers and
men of th<> United States army, mem­
bers of the Greeley expedition of
1881, who gave their lives in the In-
terest of science.
The tablet was presente«! by the
National Geographic Society, On It
is inscribed: "To the memory of the
dead. who. under Lieutenant A. W.
Greeley, here gave their lives to en-
sure the final and complete success
of the first scientific cooperation of

The spot chosen for its erection is
300 miles south of the most north-

and the nearest to civilization to
which Greeley was able to lead his
men after two relief expeditions had
failed to appear in two successive
years. Of 33 men who tried to sur­
