bar, After keeping this position for II
while, he carefully drew himself mp, seat
ed himself upon the bar aud so continued
through the remainder Of the voyage.
The atmosphere was almost too fresh
for comfort upon the surface of lhccarth,
bat at the height Of "A mile aud half,
which was soon reached, the cold became
intense, Clouds were around him, and,
