FOURTH lNSTALIMENT

The Porpoise has been thorough
~ equipped and provisioned for a
long voyage They found $3.50
pounds of flour, fat and raisons;
1000 pounds of salt beef and pork :;
1900 pounds of pemmican, 700
pounds of sugar and the same of
chocolate, chest and a half of
tea, weighing 96 pounds, 500
pounds of rice. several barrels of
preserved fruits and vegetables. a
Quantity of lime juice, with all
sorts Of medicines and 800 gallons
Of rum and brandy. There was also
q large supply of gunpowder, bail
and shot, and coal and wood in
abundance.
Altogether, enough to last those
five men more than two years. All
fear of death from starvation or
cold was at an end.
"Well, Hatteras, we're sure Of
enough to live on now" said the
doctor, land there is nothing to
hinder us reaching the pole
"The pole!" echoed Hatteras.
''Yes, why not? Can't we push
our way overland In the summer"
1--WE might overland; but how
could we cross water?"
Cant we build a boat out OF
the ships planks?'
"Out of an American ship" ex-
claimed the captain, contemptu-
ously.
Clawbonny was prudent enough
TO change the conversation.
In five days the men had built
nm ice house on shore not far from
the boat, also powder magazine
and shelter for the dogs.
The walls of the house were
pver five feet thick, and the win
dows made Of polished sheet ice
resembled portfolios for cannon.
Every part was as solid as posi-
BILE, and a parapet was erected
outside for defense against any
enemies.

was in reality far more deep and
crafty than Hatteras. His apparent
openness did not inspire such con-
fidence as the Englishman' gloomy
reserve.
The doctor was in constant dread
of collision between the rival
captains, and yet one must COM
mand inevitably. and which should
1t be? Hatteras had the men. but
Altamont had the ship. 1t was
