Monhegan Island, Me., June 22— (AP)—The schooner Bowdoin, which left here yesterday noon with Lieut. Commander Donald B. MacMillan and other members of his Arctic expedition, was well up the coast of Maine today. With fair weather, friends of the explorer here believed she would be off the Bay of Fundy by nightfall.
The Bowdoin is due to reach Sydney. N. S., on Thursday, her first stop after leaving this island. There she will be joined by the steamer Peary, which went ahead after taking fresh water at Boothbay Harbor, without stopping here. Fuel will be taken on at Sydney after which the two vessels will proceed to Battle Harbor, Labrador, always a port of call for the explorer before he proceeds to Etah, Greenland.
