ing. AS we now moved along the feel
ing Of elation slowly subsided with
the realization Of the prospective diff
culties Of the return. Though the mer-
curry was still frozen and the suns
perpetual flush was lost in a frigid
blue. the time was at hand in lower
latitudes for the ice to break and drift
southwark.
With correct reasoning all former
expeditions had planned to return to
land and secure a line Of retreat by
May l. We could not hope to do so
until early In June. 1t seemed. there
fore, probable that the ice along the
outskirts Of the polar sea would be
much disrupted and that open water,
small ice and rapid drifts would seri-
ously interfere with our return to
sure footing on the shores Of Nansen
sound. All Of this and many other
possibilities were carefully considered
before, but the conquest Of the pole
was not possible without risks.
Famine and Frost.
We started earlier than all other
polar aspirants. and no time had been
lost en- route. If misfortune came to
US 1t could not be because Of wasted
energies or unnecessary delay. In the
last days Of the onward rush to suc-
cess there was neither time nor oppor-
tunity to ponder over the bitters OF
subsequent remorse. but now. facing

balance this a still more westerly
course was set.
At this time the never changing
sameness of the daily routine was
again felt. The novelty Of success and
the passion Of the home run were no
longer operative. The scenes Of shiv-
ering blue wearied the eye. and there
was no inspiration In the moving sea
Of ice to gladden. the heart. The ther-
mometer rose and fell between 30 and
40 below zero F., with ceaseless
wind. 1t was still very cold. The first
Of May was at hand. bringing to mind
the blossoms and smiles of q kindly
world, but here all nature was mar
rowed to lines Of ice. The sun circled
the skies in lines Of glaring. but Its
heat was q sham and its light tor
ment.
With weary nerves and compass IN
hand my lonely march ahead Of the
sleds was continued. Progress was
satisfactory. We had passed the
eighty-ninth and eighty-eighth paral-
lels. The eighty-seventh and the eighty
sixth would soon be under foot, and
the sight of the new lands should COM
pei action. These hard fought times
were days long to be remembered, but
only the marks of the pencil now re-
main to tell the story Of suppressed
existence.

The long strain Of the march had

southern skies under which were home
and all for which we lived. the back
trail seemed indescribably long. In
cold sober thought. freed Of the intox-
ication Of polar enthusiasm. the diff
culties darkened IN color. We now
saw that the crucial stage Of Che cam.
paign was not the taking of the pole.
The test Of our fitness as boreal con-
querors was to he measured by the
outcome Of final battle for life
against famine and frost.
The first days. however. passed rap
idly. With fair weather and favorable
ice long marches were made.
We aimed to return along the one
hundredth meridian. There were three
important objects to be gained by a
route somewhat west Of the north
ward march. The increasing easterly
drift would thus be counterbalanced.
We hoped to get near enough to the
new lands to explore part Of the
coast, and wider belt would be swept
out of the unknown aIea.
The pack. drift proved quite active,

OF march, but some shelter In the
strongest blasts we threw ourselves
over the sled behind hummocks and
gathered new breath to force few
miles more.
Finally, when no longer able to force
<1e dogs through the binding drift, we
sought the lee Of an uplifted block Of
ice. Here suitable snow was found
for a snow house, and few blocks
were cut and set, but the wind swept
them away like chips. The tent was
tried, but It could not be made to stand
in the rush of the roaring tumult. In
sheer despair we crept into the tent
without erecting the pole. Creeping
into the bags, we then allowed the
Tapping silk to be buried by the drift
ing snow. Soon the noise and discom-
fort of the storm were lost, and we
enjoyed the comfort Of an icy grave.
An efficient breathing hole was kept
open, and the wind was strong enough
to sweep of the weight of dangerous
drift. A new lesson was thus learned
in fighting the battle of life which was
afterward useful.
Several days Of icy despair now fol-
lowed each other in rapid succession.
The wind did not rise to the full force
Of storm, but It was too strong and
too cold to travel. The food supply
was noticeably decreasing. The daily
advance was reduced. With such
weather starvation seemed inevitable.
Camp was moved nearly every day,
but ambition sank to the lowest ebb.
To the atmospheric unrest were added
the instability of broken ice and the
depressing mystery Of an unknown po-
sitiou. For many days no obserya.
tions had been possible. and our loca.
ton could only be guessed at.
The maddening struggle was daily
forced, while the spirits were pressed
to the verge Of extinction. Now that
the object Of our trip had been accom-
plished much Of the incentive was
gone. At times 1t seemed as If our
LIES work had been accomplished and
to have lain down for the final sleep
would have been easy. but the feeble

willingly did prodigious amount of
work each day, and then as bedfellows
they offered their fur as shelter and
bones as head rests to their two footed
companions. We had learned to appre-
ciate the advantage If their beating
breasts. The bond Of animal fellow
ship had drawn tighter and tighter In
a long run o. successive adventures.
And now there was stronger reason
than ever to appreciate power, for to-
gether we were seeking an escape
from a world which was never intend.
ed for creatures with humping hearts.
Much very heavy Ice was crossed
near the eighty-eighth, but the endless
unbroken fields Of the northward trails
were not again seen. The weather
changed considerably. The light cut
ting winds from the west increased In
force, and the spasmodic squalls came
at shorter intervals. The clear purple
and blue of the seas were gradually
changed to light gray. and rush Of
frosty needles came over the pack for
several hours each day.
Could Brook No Delay.
The inducement to seek shelter In
cemented walls Of snow and wait for
better weather was very great. But
such delay forestalled certain starva-
ton. Under fair conditions there was
barely food enough to reach land,
while even short delays might easily
jeopardize our return. We could not,
therefore. do otherwise than to force
ourselves against the wind and drift
with all possible speed. closing the eye
to unavoidable suffering.
With no alternative. we tried to per-
suade ourselves that conditions might
be worse.
The eighty-seventh was crossed. the
eighty-sixth was neared. but there
came time when both mind and body
wearied of the whole problem of forced
resolution.
The hard work of igloo building was
now a thing Of the past-only one had
been built since leaving the pole. and
in it a precious day was lost-while
the atmospheric fury changed the face
of the endless expanse Of desolation.
The little silk tent now housed US sufh-
ciently from the icy airs. There were
still 30 degrees Of frost, but with hard
ened skins and insensible nerve fla
ments the torture was not so keenly
felt.
The steady diet of pemmican and tea
und biscuits was now entirely salts
factory. We longed for enough to
give real filling sense, but the ration
was slightly reduced rather than in
creased. The change In life from win
ter to summer, which should take
place at about this time Of the year,
was In our case marked only by a
change in shelter. from the snow
house to the tent, and oLr bed was
moved from the soft snow shelf Of the
igloo to the hard, wind swept crust.

bones and turf, and with our primitive
weapons we fought the walrus. the
bear, the musk OK and other animals.
Thus food, fuel and skins were secur-
ed, and death by famine was averted.
The winter and the night OF 1908-9
were spent preparing food and equip
ment for the return.
On Feb. 1s. 1909, we started with q
remodeled sled and reached our camp
at Annootok in the middle of April.
Here I met Mr.. Harry Whitney and
told him of our conquest Of the pole.
Because a ship was to come after
Mr.. Whitney to take him direct to
home shores, most Of my instruments
were intrusted to his care. Anxious to
gain q few months In the return home,
I proceeded by sled over land and sea
southwark to Upernavfk and from
there onward to Copenhagen by Dan
ish steamers.

At the Eishty-fourth Parallel.
On Mayo the sky cleared long enough
to give us a set of observations. We
were on the eighty-fourth parallel,
near the ninety-seventh meridian. The
new lands were hidden behind low
mist. The ice was much crevassed
and drifted eastward.
The pack was sufficiently active to
give US considerable anxiety. though
pressure lines and open water did not
then seriously impede our progress.
There remained on the sleds scarce
ly enough food to reach our caches un-
less we averaged fifteen miles daily.
On the return from the pole to here
we had only been able to make twelve
miles daily. Now our strength. even
under fair conditions. did not seem to
be equal to more than ten miles. The
outlook was far from hopeful to me,
though the sight of the cleared sky
infused new courage into Etukishuk
and Ahwelah.
Trying to make the best Of our hard
lot, a straight course was set for
the musk OK lands Of the inner cross
ing.
At the eighty-third parallel we found
ourselves to the west Of large tract
extending southwark. The Ice chang
ed to small fields. The temperature
rose to zero, and persistent mist OBJ
scured the heavens.
With a few lines on paper to regis
ter the life Of suffering, the food for
man and dog was reduced to three
quarter ration. while the difficulties of
ice travel rose to disheartening heights.
At the end of a struggle Of twenty
days through thick fog the sky cleared,
and we found ourselves far down In
Crown Prince Gustav sea, with open
water and impossible small Ice as a
barrier between US and Heiberg Is
land.
With the return to Annootok rem
dered impossible by the unfortunate
westerly drift, our only alternative was
to 20 south with the ice. We hoped

WAS shorter than that to Greenland,
and by this route hoped that ! could
return to Europe during the same year,
1908.
Passing through Hassel sound be-
tween the Ringnes Lands bears and
seals were secured. and slowly we
moved southwark over Norwegian bay
into Wellington channel. The ice was
small, there was much open water, and
progress was slow. but the drift car
ried us along.
At Pioneer bay we were stopped by
a lam Of small ice over which shedding
was impossible. Unable to wait for
the ice to move because no large game
was here secured, we crossed in early
July to Jones sound. Here, again, no
big game was found. There was much
open water. and the folding canvas
boat was spread for use.
Unable to feed the dogs. they were
given the freedom Of their wild pro-
genitors, the wolves.

solution Of the utility Of the dogs
tail, topic with which had been at
play for several days. 1t is quoted
here at the risk Of censure. because it
is a typical phase Of our lives which
cannot be illustrated otherwise. Seem
ing trivialities were seized upon as
food for thought. Why has the dog
a tail at all? The bear. the musk OK,
the caribou and the hare each In Its
own way succeeds very well with but
a dwarfed stub. Why does nature In
thc dog expend its best effort in grow
ing the finest fur over a seemingly
useless line Of tail bones? The thing
is distinctive, and one could hardly
conceive Of the creature without this
accessory, but nature in the arctic does
not often waste energy to display beau
ties and temperament. This tail must
have an important use. otherwise 1t
would soon fall under the knife OF
frost and time. Yes! 1t was imported
into the arctic by the wolf progenitor
Of the dog from warmer lands, where
its swing ierved q useful purpose In
