How Nansen Started.

On the 24th of June, 1893, DR..
FritEiof Nansen steamed out of the
harbor of Christiana on his way to
the North Pole. He had become con-
vinced th at there is cur. ent across
the Polar region from the sea north
of Siberia and Ber az Straits into
the sea between SpiUzbergen and
Greenland. Following that current,
he hoped to steam across the North
Pole th Ough some hundreds of miles
of drift ice. Whether he succeeds
remains to be seen. An English lady
friend of Doctor Nansen, who was in
Christiana at the time, thu, descr bes
how he set out upon the enterpr. sc.
That extraordinary specimen OF
sea-going craft, the Fran, was lying
in readiness in the harbOr. The
Quays were crowded by thousands
upon thousands Of spectators. Every
thing was ready; but the nero Of the
hour was not yet on boa d. All eyes
were turned to the ford, some five
miles up which is Lysaker, Nansen's
charming home.
At last "Tnere he is" passed from
one to the other, as small naphtha-
boat hove in sight In it were two
figures, a man and dog.
How like Nansen! Alone, with
