Sydney, N. S., Sept. 21.- The steam saiüng bark Hope, with Lieutenant R. E. Peary and party on board, arrived here at 5 o'clock Mo-nday afternoon from north Greenland. All on board are well. The Hope came into port burning her last ton of coal, and with her bulwarks and decks giving evidence of the furious seas of an unusually stormy summer. She is nearly as deep in the water as when she left liere in the latter part of July, with her bunkers full of coal, for the huge Cape York meteorite, the largest in the world, is. in her hold, and bedded in tons of ballast. Lieutenant Peary has on board also six Cape York Eskimos, who wlll go with him when he returns next year to attempt to reach the north pole. Relies of Greely's lixpedition. The expedition visited Cape Sabine, and relies of the ill-fated expedition led by Greely, have been obtained. The summer in Baffin bay was marked by almost continuously stormy weather and by an unusual scarcity of ice. The investigating party from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, under R. W. Porter, landed at Cape Haven Aug. 3, and did not re-embark until Sept. 13. The party led by Hugh Lee, the arctic explorer of Meriden, Conn., landed at God Haven on Aug. 7, and re-embarked Sept. 7. Professor Schubert's party, representing the National museum, landed at Onemak Aug. 8, re-embarking Sept. 4. The party, led by Robert Stein of the United States geological survey. was on land from Aug. 10 to Sept. 2. The Hope will coal here and then proceed to New York, where she will land the meteorite.
