and 48 hours later New York suffered
the summer's most severe storm
which flooded basements and so dark-
ened the skies that ships had to navi-
gate by ,beacons at midday. A con-
nection between the two storms
seems likely, but no such thing as
a regular predition can be looked
forward to until the problem has been
carefully. investigated and tested.
Professor Hobbs sailed on May 10
from New York, joining at Copenha-

cluded Ralph L. Belknap of the geol-
ogy faculty, second in command;
Prof. Jaes E. Church, a meteorolo-

trial ru guc under way, however,
a good run was made to Holstenborg,
which was reached on June 21. The
supplies of the expedition were at
once transferred to the 22-ton motor
schooner Walrus, powered by a kero-
sene engine of low power, aboard
which the party began the last leg
of their journey to the end of Soendre
Stroemfjord, or Kangendlugssda
Fjord, as it is known to the Green-l
landers.
Camp Little First Stop
The first port of call for the Walrust
was Camp Little, a supply base es-e
tablished last year by a preliminary
expedition led by Hobbs. Camp Little
was demolished, and everything load-1
ed onto the Walrus, which set sail
southward again, but ran almost at
once into the teeth of an Arctic gale
that rendered progress impossible.2
The Walrus put into an inlet for shel-
ter and was forced to remain there
a week until the storm, which na-
tives called the longest and earliest
in 18 years, had blown over. When
the storm had somewhat abated at
the end of three days, Hobbs and his
men ventured out of the inlet, towing
a lighter and dory, but both the
lighter and dory broke loose and weret
recovered only with difficulty after1
the Walrus had been turned back into1
shelter.
Fine weather, however, followed
the gale, and the party lost no time
in reaching Soendre Stroemfjord, one
of the longest on the Greenland coast,
which runs 120 miles inland. With
clar skies and amid beautiful scen-
ery they sailed up the entire length
of this fjord in a dingle day. As they
neared the head of the fjord a lookout
was kept for streams of fresh water by
which to pitchbcamp, and for flat
stretches suitable for landing. By a
stroke of fortune the two were found
together; the ship was unloaded anI
Camp Lloyd set up, in memory of the
late Dean Alfred H. Lloyd of the
graduate school.
Living Conditions Poor
Living Jonditions aboard the Wal-
rius on the journey from Holstenborg
to Camp Lloyd left much to be de-
sired in the way; of comfort. The tiny
vessel carried a crew of four na-
tive Greenlanders, members of Hobbs'
party, and the white members of the
party. Living accommodations were
exceedingly limited, compelling Belk-
nap to sleep in the miniature wheel-
house, and Hobbs and Herz to make
their beds under an old sail atnp one
of the hatches. The food provided by
the Greenlanders was stored in the
hold and inaccessible, with the result
that food ran low during the trip.
As soon as Camp Lloyd has been
established early in July, scouting
parties were sent out to phk a suita-
ble mountain for the permanent wea-
ther station. Another brilliant piece
of luck was encountered in Mount
Evans, named after Edward S. Evans
of Detroit, 50 feet below whose sum-

the weather station required consid-
erable time, but by July 20 the shack
was half erected and the job of mov-

the shack 2x4 studding was used,
covered with boards, and the whole
overlaid with a heavy covering of can-
vas. Architecturally the shack is not
a masterpiece for it was primarily
designed with a view to protecting it
from wind damage. The party did
their work so well that the 81 mile
gale of July 21 was not even noticed
within the half-completed shack.
The shack contains a complete wea-
ter station capable of recording all

mitting and receiving set, in addition
to living quarters for Oscanyan and
