face and we we're lost to the world of ice

In the Heart of a storm.
On March % it blew a half gale at
night, but at noon on the following day
the wind eascd The bright sun and
rising temperature were too tempting to
remain quiescent. and though the west
was still darkened by threatening clouds
the dogs were put TO the sleds, and off
they went among the wind swept hum
Knocks. We had not gone many miles be-
fore the first rush of a storm struck ms.
Throwing ourselves over the sleds, we
waited the passing of the icy blast.
! There was no suitable snow near to
begin the erection Of shelter. but few
miles northward was a promising area
for camp, and to this we hoped to take
ourselves after a few moments rest. The
squall soon spent its force, and in the
wind which followed good progress was
made without suffering severely. The tenn
perature was Al and the barometer 29.O5.
Once in moving order, the drivers re-
qured very little encouragement TO pro-
long the effort to a fair days march in
spite of the weather. AS the sun settled
| in the western gloom the wind increased
its fury and forced us into camp. Before
the gloom was finished a steady, rasping
wind brushed the hummocks and piled up
the snow in large dunes like the sands Of
home shores.
The snow house was not cemented with
water. The tone Of the wind did not seem
to indicate danger, and, furthermore, we
we're beginning to realize the great need
of fuel economy. We therefore did not
deem it prudent to use oil for the fire
to melt snow, except to quench thirst.

the wind carried the breath to the long
hair with which we protected our heads
and left mass Of dangling frost.
An Icy Coating.
Accumulated moisture from the eyes
coated the eyelashes and brows The hu-
midity escaping about the forehead left a
crescent of snow above, while that es-
Gaping under the chin, combined with fall
ing breath. made a semicircle Of ice. The
most uncomfortable icicles, however, were
those that had formed on the coarse hair
within the nostrils. It is to free the face Of
this kind Of decorations that the Eskimos
pull the facial hair out by the roots, hence
the real poverty of mustaches and boards.
During two days Of chilly bluster the
sleds we're forced along with encouraging
results, and on the evening of March 26,
with a pedometer and other methods Of
dead reckoning for position, we were
placed at latitude 81 deg "A min, longi-
tude 96 deg SO min. The western hori-
zon remained persistently undisturbed, a
brisk storm, it seemed, was gathering but
| it was n long time in coming eastward.
On the evening of the 26th we prepared
for the blast and built the igloo stronger
than usual, hoping that the horizon would
be cleared by a good blow on the morrow
and afford us a day of rest The long,
steady marches, without time for recuper-
alton, had begun to check our enthusiasm.
In the daily monotony of hardship we
had learned to appreciate more and more
the JOY Of the sleeping bag. It was the
only animal comfort which afforded a re-
lief to our life of frigids, and with it we
tried to force upon the weary body in the
long marches a pleasing anticipation.
The DIsroBIng.
In the evening, after the blocks of snow
walled a dome in which we could breathe
quiet air. the blue fame lamp sang the
notes Of gastronomical delights A heaven
given drink of ice water was first in
dulged in to quench the chronic thirst,
and then the process Of disrobing began,
one at a time. for there was not room
for all TO act at once.
The fur stuffed boots were pulled and
the bearskin pants were stripped. Then
half Of the body was quickly pushed into

chattering and the stomach was fired
with durable fuel.
As we advanced the zee improved to
some extent. and with little search a
safe crossing was found over all of the
new crevices, though a strong westerly
