George Phillips, the naval stores officer at Esquimalt, British Columbia, was responsible for supplying from that base the Canadian Arctic Expedition (1913–1918) led by Vilhjalmur Stefansson. In addition to arranging details of supply in conjunction with directives from his superiors, Phillips travelled with Stefansson by steamer to Nome, Alaska, before Karluk , the brigantine to be used by the southern division of the expedition, sailed on her ill-fated voyage. This article is based on hitherto unused documentation, including the private notebooks and personal correspondence of Phillips. It examines two issues: first, the problems of supply for the Canadian Arctic Expedition, and, second, the personal views of Phillips with respect to Stefansson and other members of the party
