mile from the landing point; then the wind fell,
and l found myself travelling in loose "sish ice,
which was like porridge. l could drive my whip
handle through it. Ssh" ice consists of the
fragments pounded off the large pans" and
crowded together in a mass on the surface of the
water. So quickly did the ice abroad, when
relieved of the wind pressure that already could
not pan larger than ten feet square.
Retreat impossible; did there any
way of escape from the pan which found
myself. tore off my oilskins threw myself on my
hands and knees by the side of the konlatik,
sedge, and ordered the dogs ahead for the shore.
In less than twenty yards the frightened dogs
stopped and the komatik sank into the slob " hen
the dogs pulled they too sank into it. Earlier in the
season the father of the boy going to attend
had been drowned in this way, his dogs tangling
their traces about him in the slob. This flashed upon
me- and scrambling forward / cut the traces in the
water and wound the leaders trace about my wrist.
The Ride on a Pan
THERE was pan about twenty-five yards away
the size of dining table, and upon this
the leader soon scrambled. l hauled myself along
the line until he CHANGED to turn and then his har
ness slipped from him. 1t was impossible to swim
in the Ssh ice and SO lay there thinking it would
soon be over and wondering if anyone would ever
know how it happened. Suddenly saw the trace
of another big dog which was making for the pan.
Along this hauled, using him as bow anchor but
much bothered by the other foundering dogs one
of which climbed my shoulders, pushing me
farther down into the SSH. Finally reached the
pan. and helped the dogs upon it, as they followed

pan, and he managed to get over the slob after
it. The other dogs followed Then taking all
the run could my little pan, l made dive,
slithering with the impetus along the surface
til once more l sank through it. After long
struggle was able to haul myself by the traces to
this pan. But it also not large enough to
bear u.s. and this process had to be repeated i'm
mediatelv.
Vain Efforts Against the Wind
I NOW realized that, though had been working
toward shore, off shore wind had really
driven us a hundred yards off the course. The
widening gap kept full of the pounded ice. which
to the surface the pressure essened Through
this could possibly 60

rock; large piece broke off the already small pan
and what was left swung about in the backwash and

that the messengers, knowing alone, and
failing to keep my tryst, would perhaps come back
to look for me. But this they did not do.

Advance Precautions

DURING the night the wind shifted to the north
east, bringing fog and rain, softening the snow,
and driving heavy into the bay. Our drive in the
morning some forty miles the first ten wide

Thence it was four miles across to rocky promon-

many miles around the shore. AS far the eye

no bids for the construction operation Of the
Seventh and Eighth avenues. Lexington and
Jerome avenues routes were received by the old
Rapid Transit Commission last year. The city
officials him, said that there is little pros
pect of any moro appropriations for subway work
for some time as the city is close to its con-
stitutional debt limit
After saying that the Board OF Estimate had ap-
proprated money for the Fourth avenus Brook
Iyn) subway. and referring TO the new Broadway
Lexington avenue route recently approved by the
commission Chairman Wilcox continued:
This commission must not only relieve the pres
ert situation but if it is fulfil the purpose OF
its creation. must provide for the future
This brings US to the necessity of beginning
work upon these subways as soon as posslDie-
The contracts for the Fourth avenue subway will
be advertised soon. However that may turn out.
there remains the necessity Of providing the means
to allow the construction Of the East Side SUBWAY
and other lines in Manhattan and The Bronx as
sumfng that no further appropriation can be oo-
tanned from the Board Of Estimate and Apportioh-
ment.
The only way TO achieve this result. IN tns
opinion of many who have studied the prooienl' Is
by A constitutional amendment which VIII place
outside the calculations of the debt limit oonoS
;ss,,ed for the construction of subways- Such an
amendment must be passed by two sessions OF te
LEGISLATURE and then be adopted by the people a.
