CHAPTER xI

Next day at early dawn. Hatteras
gave the signal for departure The
welI-fed and weII-rested dogs were
harnessed TO the sledge. They had
been having a good time OF It all the
winter. and might be expected to do
good service during the ummer.
Il was at 6 In the morning when the
expedition started After following the
windlngs OF the bay and going past
Cape Washington. they struck into the
direct for the north. and by Z
o'clock had lost sight OF the lighthouse
and Fort Providence.
During the first two days they made

for three months Of fine weather was
the utmost they could count upon. Be-
sides. the sledge was often coming to
difficult places, when each man was
needed to lend a helping hand.
For several days the expedition had
been attended with no fatigue. The
travellers had only suffered from the
Intense glare Of The sun on the snow,
which threatened them with snow
blindness.
At another time Of the year they
might have avoided this BY walking
during the night. but at present there
was no night at all Happily the snow
was beginning to melt. n the bril-

On the sth Of June the thermometer
rose to As degrees. and the rain fell in
