Polar life brings strange revelations.
A man who is a model OF amiability
at home is a savage In those high lat.
itudes, where Mother Nature and hui
manity seem bent on revealing their
crudest characteristics. When a man
goes to the arctics first he dislikes it.
II he is caught there one winter he
vows to himself that he will never re-
peat the adventure. Yet when he gets
back home he discovers that the
white silence" has a compelling fas-
cination. l have never known a man
who could resist the chance to 60
again, even at a financial loss. After
twenty years Of experience, IL another
opportunity came to me, it. is doubtful
whether any consideration would pre-
vent my taking up the work again.
Once the charm Of those long months
Of daylight, the mysterious deathly ST.

glare Of that brilliant moonlight across
trackless wastes Of snow and ice, has
been felt a man is unable to resist the
