provisions when pressed by the ice
foes and it had reached its highest
latitude near the aforementioned
island.
A FAREWELL TO WHITE MEN.
After few pleasant no YRS the two
ships sailed away, the CapeIIa steering
southwark to return to civilization
while the Polar Star steered for Maria
Elizabeth Island. On August I, Prince
Rudolph Island was reached, the lati-
tude being 50 deg. min.
The Polar Star thus reached with the
greatest ease the Emperor Franz Josef
archipelago. which in 1878 Payer had
thought so difficult to approach. The
expedition disembarked in the Bay of
Teplitz and its members Immediately
set to work to prepare the winter
quarters. Kennels were built for the
dogs, which showed little affection and
still less obedience. They fear only the
ship and water; for in the intensely cold
regions where they live, if they get
wet. the water freezes immediately on
their bodies and forms a cuirass which
hinderS; every movement. The zee field
driven by the pack closed up the chan
mel made by the Polar Star, heeiing her
over about thirteen feet.
The ship was righted by means of
some guncotton mines which had been
sprung on the left side, but the vessel
did not remain long in normal position,
as the ice again succeeded in lleeling
her over. The ice field in the bay driven
by the ice pack had arisen all around
over that which lay along the coast
and had reached up to the kennels.
against the door OF which some large
foes had been PILED up, thus preventing
egress. When the dogs gave the alarm
the crew ran TO extricate them by
breaking the inner partitions and let
ting them out on the side of the land.
The vessel had also sprung a leak.

CAUGHT IN THE ICE.
The outlook OF winter passed in this
bay, with but scanty resources. and of
a retreat to be carried out with still
more scantyI resources in the following
spring was gloomy. 1t was hard to work
on board as the ship heeled over so
much and the deck was covered with
ice. Decentralization continued al that
day with the exception of intervals for
meals. AS the ship still remained in
the same situation. which had not be-
come more dangerous, and as all that
was required to pass the winter had
been rescued, they began to disembark
what would be wanted for the sledge
expedition. so that if the vessel was
lost they would still have the means
of accomplishing the undertaking for
which they had set out. The heeling
over of the vessel had rendered life on
board uncomfortable, and any further
pressure of the ice might have cast
her on her beam ends and obliged the
expedition to abandon her completely.
ASHORE FOR SAFETY.
It was therefore decided that it was
better to leave her and take up land
quarters where they would be safe. from

I'm THE AHKUND OF SWAT

I'M THE AHKUND OF SWAT
A Native Prince of Hindustan,
Is quite an influential man;
He lives a life of courtIy case,
His pockets filed with fat rupees
The British rule his land, and so,
He only rites himself. you know;
Yet. since he has of wives a few,
They keep him often in a stew;
But when he can't the row endure,
They're treated to the water cure;-
I gladly take this chance to state,
A Hindu Prince is up-to-date.

Yet odd though it be,

For he's The Ahkund of Swat,
Wherever that is, or what;
Yet odd though 1t be.
We plainly can see,
A commonplace name it is not.
But though the English rule the land,
I'm British subject, understand:
I play at golf and cricket too,
And bet upon the Oxford crew,
also keep yacht of course,
And ride a little polo horse;
Ping pong I even deign to play
But in an Oriental way;
OF extra wives, I've two or three,
To chase the nimble ball for me-

Avoids all trouble if he can.

And given to work, I'm not,

And for fad, it's not too slow;
In fact. it's just the thing for me,
An Oriental likes to see,
The common people yell and run,
And bowls them over just for fun.
of course, you chances take,
Of running over by mistake,
A crank who threate you with law,
And makes himself an awful BORE
With such. a Prince OF Hindustan,
VIII settle up-the wisest plan.
