"Well,' responded Cook, smiling
eve never did get back to where we
started from. That was the whole
trouble. The drifting ice carried us
far out of our course and coming
south We were never sure or anything
1t was very slow work and when our
provisions gave out, after ninty-fivo
days we were hard put to find game
or anything on which to live.

as we trusted to ourselves. We took
every precaution and finally made up

How does 1t feel to be two days

Two Days Starvation Not Bad.
"That is a strange question:" Cook
cimmented, but can only say that
