Footnote:

*This report was addressed to Mr. Lomen because he had
acted on behalf of the Stefansson Arctic Exploration and Development
Company, Ltd., in engaging Captain Bernard. Most of the statements
in the body of the book regarding the voyage of the Teddy Bear
towards Wrangell Island in 1922 are made on the basis of this
report. There are some, however, which are based on another longer
report which Captain Bernard dictated in answer to questions asked
him when he visited New York the following winter. We are not
publishing the second report because it is longer without being
more complete and unavoidably repeats itself a great deal because
of the questions to which the replies were being made.
