MacMillan’s Ship Reaches Wiscasset First Leg of Arctic Trip
The Peary arrives at Wiscasset Maine as MacMillan prepares for the long Arctic voyage. Chief Boatswain E. Rober and Lieut. M. A. Schur, both San Diego natives, lead the planes. Rober, weak from a stomach ulcer, relies on milk diet while Schur, a keen baseball enthusiast, brings gear for Eskimo lessons. MacMillan’s sisters Miss Jessie M. MacMillan and Miss Eva McMillan attend the ceremony.
