 Quickly the camp furnishings were tossed on the sleds and securely lash ed down. The dog traces were gath cred into the drag lines, and with vigorous snap of the long whip the willing creatures bent to the shoulder straps. The sleds groaned, and the un- yielding snows gave a metallic ring, but the train moved with a cheerful pace.
 "Unne noona terronga dosangwah'' (good land out of sight today) we said to one another, but the words did not come with serious intent In truth, each in his own way felt keenly that we were leaving a world of life and possible comfort for one of torment and suffering. Heiberg island was al- ready only a dull blue haze, while Grant Land was making fantastic fig ures of its peaks and ice walls.
 Wave of Mirages.
 The stamp of reality had given place to a wave of curious mirages. Some peaks seemed like active volcanoes; others rose to exaggerated heights and pierced the changing skies with multi pie spires like church steepIes. Alto gether this unexpected panorama of the upper surface of Grant Land under the influence of optical illusions gave US considerable entertainment.
 At every breathing spell the heads turned to the land, and every look gave a new prospect. From belching volca- noes to smoking cities of modern bus tie the mirage gave suggestive bits of scenes, but a more desolate line of coast could not be imagined.

 The upper surface of Grant Land was mere line. but a play of land clouds over it fixed the eyes on the last known rocks of solid earth. In this march we felt keenly the piercing cold of the polar sea. The temperature gradually rose to 46 below in the after creased with the swing of the sun's glitter.
 A Life sappins Wind.
 It still blew that light, life sappine, draft which sealed the eyes and bleach ed the nose. We had hoped that this would soften with the midday sun, but instead it came with a sharper edge. Our course was slightly west of north; the wind was slightly north of west. It struck us at a painful an- gle and brought tears. The moistenedi lashes quickly froze together in wink ing, and we were forced to halt fre- quently to unseal the eyes with the warmth of the uncovered hand. In the meantime we found the nose tip ped with a white skin, and it also re- quired nursing. The entire face was surrounded with ice.
 This experience brought warm lan- guage. but there was no redress. If we aimed to succeed the face must be barred to the cut of the elements.
 At about o'clock. as the sun crossed the west. we had reached line of high pressure ridges Beyond the ice was cut into smaller foes and thrown together into ugly irregularities. An active pack and troubled seas could not be far away. according to our sur mises. The water sky widened. but became less sharply defined.
 We managed to pick a way among hummocks and pressure lines which seemed impossible from a distance

 Everything was in our favor in this march. The wind was not strong and to guard the nose by pushing mitten under the hood or by raising the fur clad hand. The snow was hard, and the ice, in fairly large foes separated by pressure lines, offered little trouble. At the end of a forced effort of four teen hours the register indicated twen- ty-nine miles.

Awakened about an hour later by a strong wind, we hastened to seek shelter The heavy foe upon which we rested had several large hummocks, and over to the lee of one of these was found suit- able snow for camp. Lines of snowy vapor were rushing over the pack, and the wind came with a rapidly in creasing force.
 But the dome was erected before we suffered severely from the blast, and under it we crept out of the coming storms into warm furs.
 It blew fercely that night. but in the morning the storm eased to a steady draft, with a temperature of 59 de grees below. At noon we emerged.

and in a few hours we saw from an unusual uplift of Ice blocks broad, dark line separating the packs-a tre- mendous cut several miles wide, which seemed at the time to bar all farther progress. We had a folding canvas boat on the sleds. but in a temperature of 4S degrees below zero no craft could be lowered into water without fatal results. All of the ice about was firme ly cemented together, and over 1t as way was forged to the shore of the great lead.
 Camp Beside the Lead.
 Camp was made on a secure old field, and over it's huge ice cliffs the creek seemed like a long river winding be-, tween palisades of blue crystal A thin sheet of yellow ice had already. spread over the mysterious deep. and profusion of fantastic frost crystals were arranged in punches resembling, flowers. Through this young ice dark vapors rose like steam through a screen of porous fabrics and fell i'm feathers of dust along the sparkling shores. Etukhishook went east and I, went west to examine the lead for al safe crossing.
 There were several narrow places, while here and there foes had been! adrift in the lead and were now fixed by the young ice. Ahwelah remained to make our snow house comfortable.
 In exploring the shore line partiai- ly bridged place was found about a mile from camp. but the young ice was too elastic for a safe track. The tem- perature. however. fell rapidly with the setting sun, and the wind was just strong enough to sweep of the heated vapors. A better atmospheric condi-A ton could not be afforded to quickly thicken the young ice.
 The grooming ice and the eagerness to reach the opposite shores kept us. awake for long time. With the ear-i resting on the frozen sea the vibrations, and noises of the moving pack were not unlike those of an earthquake. E
 Breakfast was served early, and soont after we were on the thin ice to test it's strength. Though the ice was hardlyk safe. it did not seem wise to wait long, CT. for the western skies were darken- ing with a wind that might destroy the new ice and compel a halt for q long time. i Copyright, 1909, by the New Yorli

SLAVERY
Present System of Captains of In
dustry Worse than Negro Bond
age Before the War.

The New York Evening World,
commenting on the recent auction
sale of men at the ParkSide Pres
byterian Church, Brooklyn, speaks
as follows about the economic
slavery which exists today in this
country under the forms of free
dom.
''Under the old system OF negro
slavery, abolished by the civil war
and constitutional amendment, the
slave owner was obligated to feed.
clothe and shelter his slaves at all
time, whether in sickness or in
health, whether in the vigor of life
or in old age. and whether there
was work for them or not.

read or write, without a vote, I'M
intelligent and unable to produce

petent mechanic, had the right to
support and care which no free
born, intelligent workingman can
nowadays assert and receiver.
''Were it not for the mental and
social attitude of slavery many
people would be better off as slaves
than as they are today. The slave
owners from his self-interest as
well as from the opinion Of his
fellow slave owners and the force
Of the slave statutes. was impelled
not to overwork his slaves, to feed
them well, to clothe them com
fortabiy, to look after them when
they were sick and to support
them when there was no work for
them to do.
''Of the men out of work today,
how many have a legal claim upon
anybody for food, shelter, clothing
and medical attendance? Who
feeds them when they are out of
work. Who provides them with
clothingt Who looks after their
familiesi
"a slave was rent free. He
paid no taxes, either direct or in
direct. BY custom he was allowed
to do outside work when he could
get it and keep the proceeds for
himself
