For 4S hour sthey had tasted moth
ing, and their last meal had been
off the flesh Of their last Eskimo
dog. Bell could go no further, and
Johnson felt himself dying.
They were on the shore of BAT.
fins bay, now half frozen over;
that is to say, on the road to
Europe, and three miles off the
waves were dashing noiselessly on
the sharp edges of the ice field.
Here they must wait their
chance of a whaler appearing; amt
for how long?
But heaven pitied the poor fell
lows, for the very next day Alta
mont perceived sail on the hori-
zOn.
Everyone knows the torturing
suspense that follows such an APP
pearance, and the agonizing dread
lest 1t should prove false hope.
The vessel seems. alternately to
approach and recede, and too
often, just at the very moment
when the poor castaways think
they are saved, the sail begins to
disappear, and is soon out of sight
The doctor and his companions
went through all these experiences
They had succeeded in reaching
the western boundary of the ice
field by carrying and pushing each
other along, and they watched the
ship gradually fade away from
view without observing them, IN
spite of their loud cries for help
Just then happy inspiration
came to the doctor. His fertile
genius, which had served him
many a time in such good stead
supplied him with one last idea.
A floe, driven by the current
struck against the ice field, and
Clawbonny exclaimed, pointing tc
1t:
"This foe!"
His companions could not under
stand what he meant.
Let us embark on it! let us EN-
bark on IT."
"Oh! Mr.. Clawbonny, Mr.. Claw
bonny," said Johnson, pressing his
hand.
Bell, assisted by Altamont, hur
ried to the sledge, and brought
back one of the poles, which he
stuck fast on the ice like a mast
and fastened it with ropes. The
tent was torn up to furnish sail
and as soon as the frail raft was
ready the poor fellows jumped
upon it, and sailed out to the open
sea.
Two hours later the survivors oil
the Forward were picked up by the
Hans Christian, a Danish whaler
on her way to Davis straits.
They were more like specters
than human beings, and the sight
of their sufferings was enough. II
told its own tale; but the captain
received them with such hearty
sympathy, and lavished on them
such care and kindness, that he
succeeded in keeping them alive.
Ten days afterward, Clawbonny
Johnson, Bell, Altamont an dCapt

Denmark. They took the steamer

up the tent, SO they took shelter

up the tent, so they took shelter
behind an iceberg.
Provisions were now so reduced
that, Notwithstanding their scanty
rations, they was only enough left
for one week. Starvation stared
them in the face.
Altamont, who had displayed
great unselfishness and devotion
to the others, reused his sinking
energies, and determined to go out
and find food for his comrades.
He took his gun, called Duke and
went off almost unnOticed by the
rest.
He had been absent about an
hour, and only once during that
time had they heard the report of
his gun; and now he was coming
back empty-handed, but running as
if terrified.
"What is the matter?" asked the
doctor.
Down there, under the snow!"
cried Altamont. speaking as If
scared, and pointing in a particular
direction.
"What?"
"A whole party Of men!"
"Alive?"
"Dead-frozen--a even"--
He did not finish the sentence,
but look of unspeakable horror
came over his face.
Finding the Pole-17th Instalment
The doctor and the others were
so reused by this incident that they
managed to get up and drag them
selves after Altamont towards the
place he indicated.
They soon arrived at a narrow
part at the bottom of a ravine, and
what spectacle met their gaze.
Dead bodies, already stiff, lay half
buried in winding sheet of snow.
A leg Visible here, and arm there,
and yonder shrunkeh hands and
rigid faces, stamped with the ex-
preston of rage and despair.
The doctor stopped down to look
at them more closely, but instantly
started back pale and agitated,
while Duke barked ominously.
Horrible, horrible!" he said.
what is it," asked Johnson.
Don't you recognize them?"
What do you mean?"
Look and sect"
1t was evident this ravine had
been but recently the scene of a
fearful struggle, that the poor
wretches had been fedding on hui
man flesh, perhaps while still
warm. Aand anon them the doc
tor recognized Shannon, Pen and
others of the Inflated crew of the
Forward!
Their strength had failed; provi-
sions had come to an end; their
boat had been broken, perhaps by
an avalanche or engulfed In some
abyss, so that they could not take
advantage of the open sea, or per-
haps they had lost their way In
wandering over these unknown
continents.
Come away! come away" cried
the doctor, dragging his COM
panions from the scene. Horror
gave them momentary strength,
and they resumed their mach
without stopping a minute longer.
Even the men themselves were
never able to give any detailed
/ narrative of the events which &C.
