and In few hours we saw from an
unusual uplift of ice blocks a broad,
dark line separating the packs-a tre-
mendous cut several miles wide, which
seemed at the time to bar all farther
progress. We had folding canvas

OF ~ degrees below zero no craft could
be lowered into water without fatal
results. All Of the ice about was firm
ly cemented together. and over 1t a
way was forged to the shore of the

Camp Beside the Lesd.
Camp was made on secure old Geld.
and over its huge Ice cliffs the crack
seemed like long river winding be-
tween palisades Of blue crystal. A
thin sheet of yellow ice had already
spread over the mysterious deep. and
profusion of fantastic frost crystals
were arranged In punches resembling
flowers. Through this young Ice dark
vapors rose like steam through
screen of porous fabrics and fell In
feathers of dust along the sparkling
shores. Eiukhishook went east and
went west to examine the lead for q
safe crossing
There were several narrow places,
while here and there does had been
adrift Ia the lead and were now fixed
by the young Ice. Ahwelah remained
to make our snow house comfortable.
In exploring the shore line partial
ly bridged place was found about a
mile from camp. but the young ice was
too elastic for q safe track. The tenn
perature. however. fell rapidly with
the setting sun, aud the wind was just
strong enough to sweep OF the heated
vapors. A better atmospheric condl
tion could not be Afforded to quickly
thicken the young Ice.
The groaning ice and the eagerness
to reach the opposite shores kept us
awake for long time. With the ear
resting on the frozen sen the vibrations

not unlike those of All earthquake.
