schools of the ancient capital of Nor
way. He first came prominently be-
fore the public as a member of the
antarctic expedition of the Belgica,
which vessel in 1879 cruised in this
south polar seas under M. Gerlach.
Returning from this expedition,
Amundsen conceived the idea of an
arctic exploration, the object cf which
would be the discovery of the North
west passage and the location of the
magnetic pole.
Amundsen told his friends Nansen,
the explorer, and Profs. Schmidt and
Neumayer, of Germany, his hopes, and
laid before them in detail the plans
which, if followed, he felt convinced
would solve two of the three greatest
arctic problems. These friends, thor
oughly believing in Amundsen, real
lied at once the merit of his argu-
ments, and unhesitatingly indorse his
scheme, and thus was inaugurated the
expedition that was destined to live
forever as among the most brilliant ex-
petitions in history.
But Capt Amundsen is not satisfied,
it seems, for he is planning next sum-
mer to continue his voyage around the
arctic circle. To do this he must go
through the Northeast passage, feat
second only to the one which he has
already accomplished. When he reaches

proved himself not only congenial
companion, but man of wonderful re-
sources. Amundsen had one hobby.
That was to find the magnetic pole. I
do not lay SO much stress on the pass
age of the northwest straits as l do
the reported discovery of the magnetic
pole. A4nundsen wanted to make this
passage in order to find the needle. 1t
was the discovery of the pole that was
uppermost in his mind, and we dis
cussed the subject through many a
dreary arctic night.
'He was equipped with the very best
instruments. The leisurely manner in
which he moved through the passage
impresses me with the belief that his
observations and his maps will be Of
great benefit to science"
WILLIS S. EDISON.

and 80 minutes north and 80 degrees
west. Capt. Amundsen declares his be-
lief, based on the two years of OBJ
servation by him, that the north mag
netic pole is within 80 minutes of that
point. The observations have been
taken day and night for period of
three years, and, in the opinion OF the
explorer, the actual position of the
magnetic pole will be determined as
soon as his observations can be fig
ured out.
In 1881 Capt. James Ross, from OBJ
servations made located the magnetic
pole on Bothia Felix, Americas north
ernmost peninsula, and it is evident
that there has been little change from
the point marked by him. Capt. Amund-
sen found that in passing from the
northern point of Peel sound to the
western end of Simpsons strait the
ships compass was useless.
When Amundsen sailed from Chris
tiania June IL, 1903, he knew definite
ly the course he wanted to take, be-
cause of the records made by the
Franklin expedition, and the story of
that expedition is really the introduce
ton to the story of what Amundsen
has accomplished.
On May "a, 184T, Graham Gore, first
lieutenant of the Erebus, with another
officer and six men left their ships and
started southwark. They reached Point
Victory. on King William Land, and
went onward till they came to Cape
Herschel. A little beyond they saw
the coast of North America, the charts
Of which were in their hands. The
Franklin expedition had been sent from
England for no other purpose than to
find the Northwest passage.
The little party realized that the
long-sought-for passage had been dis
covered. and could actually be accom-
plished, if they might only force their
ships through the short ice barriers
that interviewed between them and the
open water. They deposited a record
of their discovery and then hurried
back to their ships to impart the joy
full tidings to their comrades. They
found the expedition plunged in the
deepest grief, for, during their absence,
Sir John Franklin had passed away.
He was shared the misery of sharing
with his men the starvation that befel
them all when they finally abandoned
their ships and sought the mainland.
And it is this summer channel along
the coast that Amundsen has followed
westward; and the Franklin party not
only pointed out the short cut to the
channel, but the fate of it's ships gave
a warning to Amundsen which he fully
improved.
The map shows the track OF the
Gjoa as she entered Lancaster sound
from Baffin bay and threaded the chan
nels leading westward till she reached
the region where Amundsen made his
magnetic surveys. This region is
roughly enclosed with circle of KS.
In this &rea Amundsen spent nearly
two years. His last magnetic work
was done on King Williams island, not
far from where Lieut.. Gore solved the
question Of the Northwest passage; and
it was here that the Gjoa started on
the journey.

Again and again the maddened beast
leaped for the white throat of his mis-

by a blow, and finally, as her strength
was deserving her, Liela swung the club
with an effort born of despair and laid
the half grown cub senseless, and, be-
fore it could recover, she killed it. and
then sank down sobbing beside its
body.
Her last friend was gone and she was
alone So she sobbed until daylight, and
then with sharp stones she skinned the
beast, and cooked part of it for her
breakfast.
She felt that she must keep busy or
go mad, so, after the first six months,
she began to build herself a home of
stones-two rooms. She spent months
selecting stones of the right shape, and,
piling them one upon the other, and
across the top she placed the boards that
had been the sides of her first home, and
she matched it all over with leaves from
the trees and with grasses.
She searched the island over and
planted little vines and flowers. Near
