Bartlett replied that he could come the following Saturday. Bartlett, the noted Newfoundland-born Arctic explorer, who was with the Peary expedition in 1897-89, commanded the "Roosevelt" on its Arctic voyage in 1905 to 1909. He served on the Canadian government Arctic expeditions in 1913 and 1914 and several subsequently to Greenland, Alaska, the Arctic Ocean, Siberia and Labrador. The "Morrissey" was his schooner, now called "Ernestina" and now the official vessel of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
