be inhuman. Altamont will come with

disclose our projects: let us tell him moth
ing, but simply build a sloop for the
ostensible purpose OF making a survey

Hatteras could not bring himself to
consent but said:
And suppose the man won't allow HIS
ship to be cut up?"
''In that case, you must take the law
in your own hands, and build vessel

biographical purposes.

long the melting snow was running down

But while they were building their

DR.. Kane was the first bone of conten-
ton on this occasion, for the jealous Eng
lishman was unwilling to grant his rival
the glory of being a discoverer. saying
that it was by mere chance he had made
a discovery.
"Chancer' interrupted Altamopt, hotly
do you mean to assert that it is not
to Kane's energy that we owe his great
discovery"
II mean to say that DR., Kane's name
is not worth mentioning in a country
made illustrious by such names as Parry,
and Franklin, and Ross. and Belcher, and
Penny; in a country where the seas
opened the northwest passage to an Eng
lishman-McClure!"
"McClure!" exclaimed the American.
well, If ever chance favored anyone
1t was that Mcclure. Dou you pretend to
deny it?"
Hatteras started to his feet, and said:
fI will not permit the honor of an
English captain to be attacked in ms
presence any longer!'
You will not permit echoed Alta
mont, also springing erect. But these
are facts, and II is out of your power
