In early September at AnnootoE the
sun dips considerably under the north

sunset and at sunrise storm clouds
hide the bursts of color which are the

which bespeaks the torment of the
storms of the setting sun.
The gloom Of the coming winter

the summer day has gone. 4 day of

The Arctic Night.
These moments increase rapidly. yet
one hardly appreciates that the sun is
departing until day and night are of
equal length, for the night remains
light, though not cheerful. Then the
day rapidly shortens and darkens, and
the sun sinks until at least there is
but a mere glimmer of the glory of
day.
Winter is limited to the long night
and spring applies to the days of the
rising sun, period corresponding to
the autumn days of the setting sun.
At Annootok the midnight sun is first
seen over the sea horizon on April %.
It dips in the sea on Aug. 10. 1t thus
encircles the horizon, giving summer
and continuous day for 118 days. 1t

Harvesting Food and Fuel.
Then follow the eye opening days OF
spring. IN the fall, when the harmon.
izing influence Of the sun is withdrawn
there begins a battle Of the elements
which continues it's smoky agitation
until stilled by the hopeless frost OF
early night.
At this time, though field work was
painful. the needs Of our venture forced
US to persistent action in the chase Of
walrus, seal. narwhal and white whale
We harvested food and fuel.
Before winter ice spread over the
hunting grounds ptarmigan. hare and
reindeer were sought to supply the ta.
ole during the long night with delica-
cies. while bear and fox pleased the
palates of the Eskimos and their pelts
clothed all.
Many long Journeys were made to Sc
cure an important supply Of grass to
pad boots and mittens and also to Sc
cure moss. which serves as wick for
the Eskimo lamp. The months of Sep
IeUlEtI Hi:Q OctoIeE were 1Uueeu 1ul-
portant periods Of anxious seeking for
reserve supplies.
Aid From the Eskimos.
There was complex activity sud-
denly stimulated along the Greenland
coast which did not require general su-
pervisiou. The Eskimos knew what
was required without word from us
and knew better than we did where to
find the things worth while. An out
line OF the polar campaign Vas sent
from village to village, with a few
general instructions.
Each local group of natives was to
fll an important duty and bring to-
gether tie tremendous amount Of MAJ
terial required for our house and sled
equipment. Each Eskimo village has,
as a rule. certain game advantages.
In some places foxes and hares were
abundant. Their skins were in great
demand for coats and stockings, and

the departnre Of OUT friends and the
severing of the bond which had held
as to the known world Of life and
happiness.
The village of Annootok is placed in
a small bay just inside Of Cape Ingle-
Aeld. Its population changes much
from year to year, according to the
known luck of the chase or the ambi-
ton of the men to obtain new bear
skin trousers.
Scattered about it we're twelve seal
skin tents. which served as summer
shelter for an equal Dumber Of vigor-
Gus families. In other places nearer
the sea were seven stone igloos. Upon
these the work of reconstruction for
winter shelter had already begun.

THE MIDNIGHT SUN IN THE ARCTIC.

II the Immediate vicinity there were
some turf and moss, but everywhere
else within a few hundred feet Of the
sea the land rose abruptly in steep
slopes Of barren rock.
To the westward across Smith
sound in q blue haze were seen Cape
Sabine. Bache peninsula and some OF
the land beyond which we hoped tc
cross in our prospective venture.
The construction Of a winter house
and workshops called for immediate at
ten,ion after the wind subsidized. Men,
women and children offered strong
hands to gather the stones strewn
along the shore.
When the cargo is packed in this
manner the things can be quickly
tossed on deck and transported tc

BILE, with packing boxes Of uniform
size as building material. to erect eff
cient shelter wherein the calamities
of arctic disaster can be avoided.
Building Winter Quarters.
This precaution against ultimate mis-
hap now served q very useful purpose
Inclosing q space 13 by 16 feet, the
cases were quickly piled in. The walls
were held together by strips Of wood
or the Joints sealed with pasted paper
with the addition Of few long boards
A really good roof was made By
using the covers Of the boxes as shin,
giles. A blanket of turf over this con
fined the heat and permitted at the
same time healthful circulation of air,
We slept under our own roof at the
end Of the first day, and our new house
had the very great advantage of con
tanning within it's walls all our posses
sions within easy reach at all times.
as the winter advanced with its
stormy ferocity and frightful darkness
it was not necessary to venture out
and dig up supplies from great depths
of snowdrift. Meat and blubber were
stored in large quantities about the
camp.
Much Work In Sight.
But our expedition was in need OF
skins and furs Furthermore. as men
engaged for the northern venture would
be away during the spring months, the
best hunting season of the year, it was
necessary to make provision for house
needs later. There was therefore much
work before Us. for we had not only- to
prepare our equipment. but to provide
for the families of the workers.
In the polar cycle of the seasons
there are peculiar conditions whsca a2'

AS the word seasons is ordinarily un-
