held on, the fellows staring up silently
at the bullying side, and touching the
thick sheathing of ice as though half
demented.
MAKE fast. Break the ice out of
that ring, Kelly. and pass a stout rope
through it. Now furl the sail, the
rest of you. Tend her off. Cole; that's

De Nova, you will remain In charge

| picked my way forward into the
bows and stood up, striving to obtain
some kind of a grip on the ~forechains
which would enable me to haul myself
up. Everything touched was ice, SO
thick as to render objects shapeless.
"Give me a lift, Kelly; easy, now,
until | get a handhold. There, that
will do, my lad"
1t was q slippery, dangerous perch,
the vessel plunging somewhat, but the
upper ice was slightly powdered with
snow, yielding a little purchase, and !
finally discovered a brace for my feet
which enabled me to reach down and
assist Johnson to scramble up beside
me. Fortunately the bulwarks were
not so high proportionately as wide,
and we succeeded in sliding over
them, coming down rather heavily on
the solid deck. Here the snow made
walking possible, although underneath
the ice was thick and smooth, COM
polling caution. All forward was a ter
rible rattle of w~reckage, a jumbled
mass of tangled spars, with the great
topmast and all It's hamper right

port bulwark smashed fiat. A hum
mock of ice rose like a great hill from
| abaft the butt of the foremost. which
| stuck up maybe 80 feet, clear over the
f~orecastle deck, leaving everything
shapeless and g%rotesque. Where the
slope was ~steepest, the wind had swept
away the snow leaving the ice beneath
clear; and there, frozen completely
in, like a painted picture, was the fully
revealed body of a man. l never saw
any sight more grewsome than that
ice-shrouded figure; the arms out
stretched, the short, black beard rem

face. / gripped my hands onto John

like an aspen, his W face colorless
in the m%oonshine. l wheeled him
about sayagely.

dicap, through a field of IL starters, and
making 72 miles in today's one hour
period of the two hour race. the event
in which he set a new worlds mark

total of 146 miles gives Nikrent $400
