There is no experience gov governing - erning governing our movements, resulting in a mess of the worst kind. The men are growling among themselves at the mismanagemeet." The notes show that Collins killed the most game on the retreat- After a vivid description of the terrible life in the open boat, he says: " I never experi experienced - enced experienced such misery. Wet by every sea, trembling with cold, and hope hopeless, - less, hopeless, we sat jammcJ togerher for nearly seventy-two hours, when we sighted the low coast of the Lena delta. Five days and nights we were in the open boat and then had to haul the boat a mile and a half and pack in a 6torm." The second day after reaching the Lena delta he writes: " General fear is running the machine which has been our bane so long, still holds like a leaci and sucks our chances for escape away. Our allowance is half a pound of meat per day.'1 The suffering of hunger is then described in pitiful language. The last entry was made September 30th. The doctor says he can establish the utmost cruelty of treatment of his brother all through the trip.
