Add: Additional miles traveled. Tr: Traveled. Tot: Total. MPH: Number of miles per hour. The word “advanced,” both here and in the journal, refers to the simple distance from camp to camp, and the actual time occupied in making that distance—all stops _deducted_. The word “traveled” includes total number of miles traveled—the number of miles advanced added to those traveled in going back and forth in “doubling up.” The time corresponding refers to the whole time from leaving one camp to arriving at the next, all stops included. The “additional miles” refer to incidental journeys not numbered as marches. The rate per hour is computed from the distance and time _advanced_. The whole statement is confined to the dog-sledge. XVII. HOMEWARD BOUND. The time having arrived, the final orders were given for the Arctic exiles to make ready for the first stage of travel leading to their far-distant home. They were now to leave the station at Fort Conger, and, as best they could, find their way to Littleton Island, where they hoped to meet a vessel that would take them back to Newfoundland. They were to depart in boats, viz., the steam-launch Lady Greely, a whale-boat, an English boat of which they had come into possession, and a still smaller affair, that might prove serviceable for special purposes.
