had come in earnest on the day when
the sun showed itself for The last time
all hands went cut @, doors to bid 1t
farewell 1t remained in sight for half
an hour only. For a few days longer
there was morning twilight Then
this faded and gave place To- black night
The stars shonc the whole twenty
four hours. The huts of the colony
were buried under the snow, Of which
thick whirlwinds filled the air. The
wind shook the huts TO their founda-
tions. Sometimes for days together the
inmates Of different huts could hold no
communication with each other, though
the huts were side by side II anyone
went out he was seized by the wind
and had to be dragged back by means
OF ropes. I'm this darkness and desola-
tion the aurora borealis did much to
entertain and cheer them. 1t lasted
sometimes for five days i'm succession,
with slendors of color that Mr. Nossi-
loft uies in vain to describe. To enjoy
the spectacle he used to remain for
hours I'm a hole in the snow, sheltered
from the wind.
Il have never seen anything more
terrible than a tempest during the po-

feels himself overwhelmed ia immensi-

storm the men yeutured out TO breathe
the air and purge their lungs of the
oXhalatlons OF the smoking lamps fed
with seal oil. Twilight appeared again
in the middle of January, and on the

stood in line facing 1t and fred a salute.
No one had died or been seriously ill,
but all had the look Of corpses and
were as feeble as convalescents after q
long sickness Health returned with
the appearance OF the sun.
