Neptune to lead Crocker Land rescue voyage amid Arctic peril
The Neptune steamer sails toward Crocker Land base as the MacMillan expedition faces peril in Melville Bay. The ship carries 2000 pounds of pork, five barrels of sugar, dried vegetables, tobacco, sweets, phonographs, and trading items to aid Eskimos and sustain the crew during the Arctic winter. Six new islands have been found by MacMillan’s party, while Peary’s exploration is debated as mirage.
