months in a hut built of the stones
which they could collect, and subsist-
ing on the scanty supplies left with
them, but chiefly on the penguins and
seals they had been able to kill. Men
wer never more warmly welcomed
than these two, winterink unknown
within tenty miles of comrades and
headquarters.
Finally, as hope was almost depart
ing, and the summer drawing fast to
a close, one fine day Captain Irizar,
commander of the cruiser dispatched
by Argentine, called at Snow Hill
and bade Nordenskiold and his re-
united party make ready to leave for
home. The welcome summons, was
of course, willingly obeyed, but "if
Larsen we're only here" said the re-
leased and relieved Swedes; and the
very next day. whom do they see
tramping across the floe but Larsen
and five sturdy sailors from Paulet's
Island, where they had wintered after
the Antarctic had been crushed and
sunk by the ice, following a gallant
fight of weeks to keep her afloat and
bring off the party from the rocks of
Snow Hill.
The world rejoiced at Nordenski-
Iold's rescue, and the more when the
scientific results of his long isolation
were found to be of the highest i'm
lportance. From "Ten Years of Arc
