the warmth of our climate, and were suffering from bronchitis.

They were all hurried off to Bellevue Hospital, where they were given
the kindest care.

It was found that they could not stand the heat of the hospital wards,
and so a nice cool cellar was prepared for them, and they gradually got
better.

Lieutenant Peary, who had been told of their illness, telegraphed from
the West, where he was lecturing, that they must have plenty of fresh
air; so, as soon as they were able to leave the hospital, they were
taken out of the city.

A cottage was hired for them at High Bridge, which is a little village
on the Harlem River, a few miles out of New York.

The Esquimaux are allowed to wander about there pretty much as they
please, and it is hoped they will continue in good health throughout the
winter.

They have not been able to do any work as yet, having been too ill to
attempt it. As soon as they are quite well again they will probably
begin their task, but great care will be taken to have the temperature
right for them the next time they are in the museum.

It is said that they were well pleased with the wretched fogs we have
been having of late. Fogs are very frequent in Greenland, and the
inclement weather made the Esquimaux feel much more at home.
