The Admiral's statement of the - indebtedness of the expedition is frank, but not pessimistic, as the explorer has had so many worries ' for the past five years that he will not allow himself to be disturbed now by the adverse balance-sheet. Like most expeditions, his suffered at various times from the problem of shortage of ready money, and when the Eleanor Boiling was en route for Panama on her journey home siif was held up for over a week at Tahiti through the want of money with which to purchase coal supplies The financial embarrassment was purely temporary, and' a cable to the United States by a Dunedm friend of • the expedition quickly brought an advance of money.
