John Muir, the Bulletin's special correspondent, is laden with ice lore and is fortified on all sides with the most conclusive, curious and interesting data relative to the glacial erosion of the far north. Behring Strait and the basin beyond is described by him as nothing more than the result of the erosion of the great ice sheet which at one time covered the Arctic circle and thrust its nose into the North Pacific Ocean."" Details of the search for the Jeannette are given, as well as the narrow escape of the Rodgers. Concerning the rumors of the ship-wrecked whites assumed to be from the Jeannette, the reporter writes: ""Mr. Muir characterizes the Point Barrow Indians, and in fact all the Indians along the North American coast, consummate liars. They know every vessel that enters the Arctic seas, and fabricate all kinds of yarns to suit the occasion. . . . The Siberian Indians are represented to be a much superior race to those on the American shores, having had less intercourse with white traders and whalers.""
