I have definitely handed the control of the second team to Wilson.

He was very eager to have it and will do well I'm sure--but certainly also the dogs will not pull heavy loads--500 pounds proved a back-breaking load for 11 dogs to-day--they brought it at a snail's pace.

Meares has estimated to give them two-thirds of a pound of biscuit a day.

I have felt sure he will find this too little.
The ponies are doing excellently.

Their loads run up to 800 and 900 lbs.
