Whaler Snow Drop Was Wrecked In FYoblsher Strait Last December Ac cording to Lett.-r In Bottle Picked Up Off the Coast of Scotland Crew of Eight Passed the Winter Among the Eskimos of Baffinland. The pluck and hardihood of a Scotch linriiooner, David Ritchie, who crossed the stormy waters of Hudson strait alone In an open boat to the Moravian settlemenlF on Northern Labrador, mik the means of bringing, as from the region of the dead, word of the Bafety of the eight members of the crew of the Scotch whaling ship Snow Drop, which was lost in Frobisher strait, Sept. 18, 1008. The Snow Prop was given up for lost with all on board last December when a bottle was picked up off the coast of Scotland saying the ship was sinking. With eight men the Snow Drop had left Dundee, Scotland, early In June, 1 litis, for a season's trading among the Eskimos of Baffinland. She made a good trip and secured a cargo of bear skins, i. alius hides and one whale, and was returning when she was w recked in Frosblsher strait. The crew managed to reach the coast of P.aftinland in an open boat, short of provisions. The Arctic win ter was approaching, cutting off the last small chance of a stray whaler coming along to pick them up. Desperate efforts were made to cross the Hudson, stra-t to the northern coast or Labrador in an open boat, but each time gales or big ice fields drove them back to the barren shores of Ballin land. The men were put on an allow ance of one ship's biscuit a day and were suffering bitterly when they reached an Eskimo settlement, where they spent the winter. With the coming of the brief sum mer or those northern latitudes, Rit chie decided to make an attempt to reach civilization to bring Buccor for his comrades. With an Eskimo guide he traveled on foot and by dog sled 500 miles until he reached a spot on Hudson strait favorable for crossing. There he found a boat nnd fought his way through drift ice and storm single handed to the Labrador coast, where he found a Moravian settlement.

Command er Peary has given emphatic denial to the assertion credited to Dr. Cook that he told the Eskimos at Annatok that Dr. Cook wns dead, and that he conse quently would take possession of the supplies left there by Cook. As near ns can be ascertained from members of the Roosevelt's crew, the house built by Dr. Cook at Annatok and left In charge of Rudolph Francke was found unoccupied when tho Roose velt arrived. Frnncke was away try ing to get passage home, his authority for his departure being a letter he ex hibited purporting to be from Dr. Cook at Cape Thomas Hubbard. Dr. Cook's house had been empty for several weekB and the supplies therein were being plKered. Francke sought permission to go to the United States on the Peary auxiliary ship Erik. This was granted him, and he turned over an inventory of the sup plies In Dr. Cook's house. Boatswain Murphy was then placed In charge of the house and Its contents. He says he found that many pack ages had been broken open and their contents partially or totally removed. The stores were checked and the house, which is built of boxes, was tak en down and re-erected a short dis tance away on higher ground, the first location having proved wet and un eomfcrtable. When Dr. Cook returned to Annatok ho complained about the occupation of the house and Its removal to a new x sltlon. Murphy says he explained the situation fully to Dr. Cook, who ap peared satisfied, nnd it was agreed that the house be occupied Jointly. The boatswain says he offered to va cate immediately, but as everything had been sntls-faetorlly explained, this was not thought necessary.
