attached and the aerolite slowly warped up to the rail and swung
inboard Every one breathed a sigh of relief when the sulky
giant was safely deposited in the hold.
wwith the two raerolites safely on board, the "Kite"
proceeded to Cape York and thence to St. John's, Newfoundland, in
safety, though the presence of these unusual masses of iron af-

fected our compasses to such, extent that whenever thick or stormy
)
weather compelled us for any length of time to depend upon our
dead reckoning, it was found impossible to keep on our course.
From St. Johns, Newfoundland, the aerolites were transported
by steamer to New York aand thence taken to the American Museum
)
where they have since remained.
