that Marsh would do the seemingly

fRAM's VOYAGE IN rHs ICE.
Captain sverdrup Tells Their Experience
After Dr. Nansen Left.

After DIR. NanseD Left.
London. Aug. pa dispatch from
Tromsoe. signed by DR. Nansen. gives
Captain Sverdrup's account OF the voy-
age OF the Fran after DR. Nansen left
that boat. The dispatch says: The
Ice pressure was never so severe as
upon several occasions before DR. Nan
sen left us during June. 1895. We were
regularly exposed. however. TO violent
pressures. caused by the changing
spring tide. The Fran was once or
twice lifted from six to nine feet Her
bottom became visible as IL rested on
the ice. So little effect did this have
on the Fram'e timbers that the men
continued their slumberings undis-
turbed. An easier Artic exploration
one could hardly imagine. The prin-
cipal work was to take regular oh
servations. sleep and eat. The health
of the men was perfect during the en-
tire expedition. There was not a sign
OF scurvy apparent among any OF the
men.
When all efforts TO advance the
boat through the Ice by the force OF
steam OF a process OF warping failed.
IL was found that gun cotton mines
proved the best means OF shsttering
the ice As rule very high ice noes
prevailed-so extensive that their ter
mination could not be described even
by the telescopes. often II looked
like a hopeless task breaking our way
out of the ice foot by foot. but with the
liberal use of explosives and owing to
the peculiar construction of ours b6at
we finally succeeded" 81 ~ u
