'''Eastern Question''' 
168; The "Eastern Question," in European history, encompasses the diplomatic and political problems posed by the decay of the Ottoman Empire (Turkey). The expression does not apply to any one particular problem, instead comprehending a variety of issues raised during the eighteenth, nineteenth, and twentieth centuries, including instability in the European territories ruled by the Ottoman Empire; 226; 238; [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eastern_Question Wikipedia entry]

'''Eddas''' 
142; The Edda are collections of poetically narrated folk-tales relating to Norse Mythology or Norse heroes. These are fragmentary parts of a (presumably) much larger skaldic tradition of oral narration which has been written down by scholars prior to the tales being lost absolutely.

'''Emmens, Dr. Stephen''' 
305; Early in 1897, the British chemist Stephen H. Emmens, then residing in New York, announced the discovery of a new element which fills the "vacant space existing in the sub-group of Group I", and which he thought to be the intermediate matter from which silver and gold are formed. Dr. Emmens said: "Our claim is that the element in question is therefore neither silver nor gold, but which may, by our new physical methods, be converted into gold."

In 1897, Dr. Emmens' Argentaurum Laboratory on Staten Island produced over 660 ounces of gold from silver and sold it to the U.S. Assay Office. He revealed a few historical and technical details of his transmutation process in his book, ''Argentaurum Papers #1: Some Remarks Concerning Gravitation''; [[Dr Stephen Emmens|Article on Dr. Stephen Emmens]]

'''Ernest-Augustan Age''' 
231; Ernest Augustus (1771-1851), aka the Duke of Cumberland, was the fifth son and eighth child of King George III of the United Kingdom and Queen Charlotte. He had a reputation as one of the least pleasant of the sons of George III. Politically an arch-reactionary, he opposed the 1828 Catholic Emancipation Bill proposed by the government of the Prime Minister, the Duke of Wellington. Rumor strongly suggested that he had murdered his valet, and other horrific stories told about him included rumors of incestuous relations with Princess Sophia, his sister. He is also alleged to have made an indecent assault on Sarah, Lady Lyndhurst, the wife of Lord Lyndhurst, three-time Lord Chancellor. There is, however, little to no historical evidence that any of these events were more than rumor; [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ernest_Augustus_I_of_Hanover Wikipedia entry]

'''Ernst and Adolph''' 
88; bartenders at Pap Wyman's Saloon

'''er-Raisuli, Mulai Ahmed''' 
520; local warlord in Tangier

'''Eskimo'''

'''Eskimoff, Madam Natalia''' 
226; a "classic English Rose"; explosion at seance, 229; "the comely ecstatica" 230; 617; "the kindly ecstatic" 670;

'''Esperanto''' 
533; the most widely spoken constructed international language. The name derives from Doktoro Esperanto, the pseudonym under which L. L. Zamenhof first published the Unua Libro in 1887. The word itself means 'one who hopes'. Zamenhof's goal was to create an easy and flexible language as a universal second language to foster peace and international understanding; [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Esperanto Wikipedia entry]

'''Espinero, El''' 
390; Indian in Mexico

'''Esthonia Hotel''' 
39;

'''Estrella''' 
390; sister in law of Espinero; double of Stray Briggs, 393;

'''eternal return''' 
132; Eternal return (also known as "eternal recurrence") is a concept which posits that the universe has been recurring, and will continue to recur in the exact same self-similar form an incomprehensible and infathomable quantity of times; 409; 452; "cursed to return, and return" 555; [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternal_return Wikipedia entry]

'''''Etienne-Louis Malus''''' 
114; schooner used by the Vormance Expedition; 118; 126;

'''Euler, Leonhard (1707-1783)''' 
115; Swiss mathematician and physicist. He developed important concepts and proved mathematical theorems in fields as diverse as calculus, number theory and topology; 593; [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler Wikipedia entry]

'''Everett, Mexican Pete''' 
190

'''evil''' 
173; evildoers; wrongdoers, 209; evildoers, 210, 374;

'''extra man''' 
125; "of Arctic myth" 

Perhaps akin to T. S. Eliot's lines from ''The Waste Land,'' "V. What the Thunder Said":

Who is the third who walks always beside you? 
When I count, there are only you and I together 
But when I look ahead up the white road 
There is always another one walking beside you 
Gliding wrapt in a brown mantle, hooded 
I do not know whether a man or a woman 
—But who is that on the other side of you? 

In his "Notes," Eliot says: 
"The following lines were stimulated by the account of one of the Antarctic expeditions (I forget which, but I think one of Shackleton's): it was related that the party of explorers, at the extremity of their strength, had the constant delusion that there was one more member than could actually be counted." 

If there is otherwise an "Arctic myth," this citation is probably irrelevant.
