MacMillan Leaves Boston Amid Great Outburst of Enthusiasm

Boston. June 17.—(AP)—The arctic expedition of Lieut. Commander Donald B. MacMillan sailed from the navy yard at Charleston shortly after noon today In the steamship Peary bound for Wiscasset, Me. From Wiscasset the Peary and the schooner Bowdoin will sail on MacMillan’s ninth trip

The big guns on the navy craft thundered farewell as the little steamer slipped away on the first leg of the trip beyond the arctic circle. A navy band on the pier played “Auld Lang Syne.” The crowd which had crammed its way into the navy yard cheered. The harbor echoed with the shrill of marine whistles as craft at anchor joined In the parting tribute.
