The plan of the expedition was drawn, and the whole placed under Capt. Francis Tuttle, R. C. S., whose experience and abilitv espe cially titted him for such a command. The officers and crew were all volunteers, and although the Bear had just returned from a six months' cruise in Arctic waters, she was prepared, fitted out, and sailed from Seattle, \vash., November 27, 1897, just three weeks from the date of her arrival from the North. Ten months later she returned again to Seattle, bringing four crews of wrecked whalers, and having fully carried out all the orders and accomplished all the purposes of the expedition without loss or accident of any kind.
