north pole. and gain for England the
glory OF its discovery. But he had
struggled for nine months against cur
rents and tempests. SCATTERING icebergs
and breaking through almost insur-

In an unprecedented winter he had
outdistaneed all his predecessors and
accomplished half his task. when he
saw all his hopes blasted The mu-

and his little band OF three men in a
terrible situation-helpless in an icy
desert. $500 miles from their native
