A little while later they reached open water, but as it was foggy they could not discover the ship. So they cached most of their goods and proceeded along the edge of the ice to their hut, where they found a note, saying where the "Nimrod" would shelter, and that it would leave on February 26.

A baseball team can get along fairly well without a trainer in the early part of the season when the players are fresh, but in the hot competition of the later season a trainer is very necessary to keep the men from over-working themselves. We understand that as advisory coach of the baseball team Mr. Garcelon is to have some oversight of the physical condition of the men,--a task for which...
