we commenced to work our way to-
ward the south, from that day to the
11th of April establishing three de-
pots, which in all contained a guam

One thousand six hundred kilos, in
oluding LOO kilos of seal meat, were
cached In 80 degrees, 700 kilos in 81

these depots were marked with flags,
seven kilometers on each side in the
easterly and westerly directions.
The ground and the state of the
Barrier were of the best, and special
~ well adapted to driving with dogs.
On Feb. 10, we had thus travelled
about 100 kilometers. The weight of
the sledges was 800 kilos, and the
number of dogs was six for each
eledge. The surface of the Barrier
was smooth and fine with no sastrugi

Winter on the Ice Barrier.
Before the arrival of Winter we had
5000 kilos of seal meat in the de-
pots. enough for ourselves and 10
dogs. Eight dog houses, a combina-
ton of tents and snow huts. were
built
Having cared for the dogs, the turn
came to use our solid little hut II
was almost entirely covered with
snow by the middle of April. First we
had to get light and air. The Lux
lamp, which had a power of 200 stand

excellent ventilation system gave us
all the air we wanted.

We camped that night at a height

thirty-four of our brave companions
and keep eighteen-six for each of

We stopped here four days on &C

We set out on the 25th of November.

provisions, coal, wood, and oil, plain
bath, a steam bath, and observatories
Thus we had everything within doors
if the weather should be too cold and
stormy.
The sun left us on the 22d of April
and did not return until four months
later. The Winter was spent in chang
ing our whole outfit, which on the de-
pot trips was found to be too clumsy
and solid for the smooth surface of
the Barrier. Besides this, as much
scientific work as possible was done,
and some astonishing meteorological
observations were taken.
Open Water All Winter.
There was very little snow, and
there was open water close by
throughout the Winter For the same
reason higher temperature had been
expected, but it remained very low.
In five months there were observed
temperatures between minus so and go
degrees Celsius, (5S and 76 degrees be-
low zero Fahrenheit), the lowest tenn
perature on the 18th of August being
minus SO degrees Celsius. 1t was
then calm. On the 1st of August the
temperature was minus 58 degrees
Celsius, and there were meters of
wind. The mean temperature for the
year was minus 26 degrees Celsius

ricane, but l observed only two mod

The sanitary conditions were of the
best all the Winter and when the sun
returned on the oath of August he met
the men sound in mind and body
ready to set about the task that had
to be solved.
Already, the day before we had
brought our sledges to the starting
place for our march toward the south.
Only in the beginning of September
did the temperature rise to such an
extent that there was any question of
setting out.
First Start for the Pole
On the Sth of September eight men

provisions for four months started

it was a different matter 1t could
easily be seen that they shrunk from

soon that they could not stand the
long run to our depot at so degrees

We agreed on returning and to wait

Burglaries III private houses In VI.

locked from 10 o'clock at night to G In
