Fff3iNN6S::3dkP POLE,
- By JULES VERNE
CHAPTER XI.-(Continued.)


The storm lasted for ten hours, and
the weary travellers anxiously watched
for the morning. About daybreax Its
fury seemed to have spent itself. and
Hatteras, accompanied by Bell and AL
lamont. ventured to leave the tent.
They climbed a hill about 800 feet
high, which commanded a wide view.
But what a metamorphosed region met
their gaze! All the ice had completely
vanished the storm had chased away
the winter. and stripped the soil every
where of it's snow covering.
But Hatteras scarcely bestowed a
glance on surrounding objects; his ca
ger gaze was bent on the northern
horizon, which appeared shrouded In
black mist.
That may very likely be caused by
the ocean," suggested Clawbonny.
You are right. The sea must be
there" was the reply.
That tint is what we call the blink
Of open water" said Johnson.
Come on, then, to the sledge at
once, and let us get to this unknown
ocean," exclaimed Hatteras.
Their few preparations were soon
made, and the march resumed. Three
hours afterwards they arrived at the
coast. and shouted simultaneously,
''The sea! the sea-"
"Ay, and open seal" added Hatteras.
And so it was. The storm had open
ed with the polar basin, and the loos-
ened packs were drifting in all direc-
tons The icebergs had weighed an
Choir, and were sailing out into the
open sea.
This new ocean stretched far away
out of sight, and not a single island or
continent was visible.
After a careful survey of the coast,
Hatteras determined to launch the
sloop that very day, and to unpack the
sledge. and get everything on board.
By o'clock nothing more remained to
be done. The sloop lay rocking grace
fully in the little bay, and all the car
go was on board except the tent and
what was required for the nights en-
campment.

Obeyinx Orders.

Seamen are strict disciplinarians,
and a ships crew seldom even dreams
of interpreting a commanders orders
otherwise than literally. OF the rec
ognized rigid type was a certain Eng
lish captain. The way the strict let
ter of his law was observed aboard
his ship is described by a writer in
the London Telegraph.
One day, while the ship was In a
certain port, the captain gave a din
ner to some town acquaintances, and
as the resources of the ship were not
great, some of the sailors were deput-
ed to wait on the table to reinforce
the insufficient number of stewards.
AS these men were not used to such
work, each one was told exactly what
service would fall to his share.
The hour came, and the dinner went
merrily on. Presently, however, one
of the ladies wanted piece of bread.
There was none near her, and the fine
ly disciplined stewards seemed to be
quite blind to her need. She turned
her head and spoke softly to the man
at her elbow.
Bread, please" she said.
He looked regretfully at the breao
and then at her. It was evident that
he would fain have helped her If it
had been in his power. He saluted in
fine naval style.
Cant do it, ma'am," said ne. I'm
told off for 'taters."

"Patrick H. McCarren once told me
of a funny incident that happened IN
Rome" said a Brooklyn lawyer. NC
Carren said that on his first visit to
Rome. after he had seen the Coliseum
and the Forum, he visited the Ara
Coell Church, on the left of the Capt.
toline Hill. He climbed the grand
stairway leading to the church, the
finest open air stairway in the world.
He pushed back the heavy leather cur
tain. and, entering, he found service
in progress So he put his hat on the
marble floor at his side and took a
seat
after ten minutes or so he decided
he would go and reached down for his
hat. But a restraining hand was laid
on his. and he desisted. He knew, of
course, that some churches don't like
people to leave in the midst of a serv-
ice.
"Ten or fifteen minutes more passed.
The service still continued. Senator
McCarren got impatient and again
reached for his hat. But again the
unseen hand restrained him from the
rear.
"A little later, however, the senator
quite lost patience. This was, he told
himself an important service, Of

harm no one if he slipped out quietly.

hat, and the invisible hand a third

however. The silent hand pushed and

doctor, throwing himself beside the

For few minutes the joy Of recov-

hearts. and the poor fellows could not
restrain their tears
The doctor found, on examination.
that Hatteras was not seriously hurt.

he had become quite delirious with
excitement, and fever burned in his
veins. His eyes shone with unnatural
brilliancy, and his brain seemed on

needed, for the doctor found it impos-

AltamOnt speedily discovered a grot-

But Hatteras would do nothing till
the exact position of the island was
