cold, so cold in fact that we had to
row to keep warm. The little boat
seemed awfully cramped after the big
vessel but we made out as well as
could be expected. The women bore
up remarkably well, but could see
that the captains wife had a hard
struggle to keep back the tears. We
drlfted all that night and by morning
were so cold and stiff that we were
ready for anything.
Finally one Of the men suggested
that we try to climb the berg that had

no sooner made than we were all
eager to try It. But climbing It was
more difficult than We thought The
sides were almost smooth, and after
seeking in vain for a sloping face We
gave 1t up and pulled to another and
smaller one about two miles of. That
one had long sheer to the water
and We had no difficulty whatever In
getting on board We piled all the
quilts and blankets on the ice and
made a tent for the women. which at
first they refused to occupy, stating
that they would take their chances
with the rest Of Us and would not have
anything better than the rest.

the little tent with its warm blankets

In the meantime breakfast was

night and We all enjoyed It immense.
ly, As we drifted farther south the
ice gradually melted and became
honeycombed until It was unsafe. We
then had to take to the boats once
again and strike out for the track OF
the Atlantic vessels. Two days after
leaving the berg We saw smoke on
the horizon. Then we started to pull.
We pulled until our arms were al.

We got close enough to make our.

the steamer Nottingham and taken to
