of Diapers alleged feeling toward or

increased cost OF living. These were

fly to return this way. If the ice
drifted strongly to the east we might
not be given the choice OF working out
our own return. In that event we
would be carried perhaps helplessly TO
Greenland and must seek return
either along the east coast or the west
coast,
This drift did not OFFER a dangerous
hardship. for the musk oxen would
keep US alive to the west. and TO the
east IL seemed possible to reach Shan
non island. where the Baldwin-Ziegler
expedition had abandoned a large
cache OF supplies. II appeared not I'm
probable also that a large land extern
sion might offer a safe return much
farther west.
Franeke's instructions.
Because OF this uncertainty Francke
was instructed TO wait until June 8.
1908. and IL we did not return he was
told TO place Koolootingwah In charge
and go home either by the whalers or
by the Danish ships to the south.
No relief which he could offer would
help us. and to wait for an indefinite
time alone would have inflicted need
less hardship. This and many other
instructions were prepared for Koo-
lootingwah and Inugito TO take back.
In the morning the frost in crystals
had been swept from the air. but there
remained a humid chill which pierced
10 the bones. The temperature was
minus SO +. A light air came from
the west. and the sun burned In n
freezing blue.
After a few hours march the ice
changed in character. The extensive
thick fields gave place to moderate
sized foes. The foes were separated
by zones OF troublesome crushed ice
thrown into high pressure lines. which
offered serious barriers. but with the
ice ak and Eskimo ingenuity we man

their dogs, so they volunteered to push
along another day without dog food.
Return Of the Helpers.
On the next day, with increasing diff
fculties In some troublesome ice. we
camped after making only sixteen
miles. Here a small snow house was
built. and from here. after disposing Of
a pot OF steaming musk OK loins and
broth. followed by a double brew Of
tea, our last helpers returned.
With empty sleds and hungry dogs
they hoped TO reach land in one long
days travel. But this would make the
fourth day without food for their dogs.
and in case OF storm or moving ice
other days OF famine might easily fan

abundance OF dogs and might sacrifice
few COR the benefit OF the others. as
we must often do.

The snow had been swept from the
fee by the force OF the preceding
storms. and the speed attained by the
dogs through even rough ice was such
that It was difficult 10 keep far enough
ahead TO get n good course.
The crevasses and pressure lines gave
little trouble at first, but the hard ir-
regularity OF the barred fee offered a
dangerous surface for the life OF our
sleds. passing through blue gorges
among miniature mountains OF SEA
ice. On a course slightly west OF
north we soon sank the bold headland
which raises the northern point OF
Heiberg island.
Camp Is Pitched.
After a run OF twenty-six miles we
pitched camp on foe berg OF unusual
height. There were many big hum
mocks about. to the lee Of which were
great banks of hardened snow. Away
from land it is always more difficult
to find snow suitable for cutting build
ing blocks. but here was an abundance
conveniently placed. In the course OF
an hour q comfortable palace OF crys-
tai was erected. and into it we crept
out OF the piercing wind The first
days march over the circumpolar sea

The dogs curled up and went to sleep
without a call. as II they knew there
would be no food until the morrow.
My wild companions covered their
faces with their convenient long hair
and sank quietly into a comfortable
slumber. but for me sleep was quite
impossible. Letters must be written
The whole problem OF our campaign

A half gale was blowing into Nan

Thus we managed 10 keep In game

There was at hand an abundance of

To have increased this party would

With the character Of ice which we
had before us advance stations were
impossible. A large expedition and a
heavy equipment seemed imprudent.
We must win or lose in prolonged
effort at high pressure. and therefore
