Jay Haynes, as photographer, together with acorps of guides, packers and assistants. The partywas outfitted with Arctic ^sleeping bags/ the Nor-wegian ^^ski, the Canadian web snowshoe, and to-boggans to carry supplies, photographic equipmentand astronomical instruments, it being the intention tocamp wherever night overtook the party, regardless ofthe hotels.
