The list did not get up as high as in
the morning. but gains of'a point or over

talk of unfavorab' trade conditions.
Fluctuations grew narrower with the

ing a few days, reached the goal which
many noble explorers before him mad
sttiVen for. Captain Amundsen in reply
ing to the speech of presentation of the
mccall, modestly tried to minimize his own
great accomplishment. and gave strong
words of praise to those who had pre-
coded him in the Antarctic fields. In a
cGlra and quiet manner he referred to his
own work no greater. no more worthy of
exceptional commendation than that OF
many other explorers.
When Captain Amundsen arose to ae-
capt the medal a great salvo of applause
greeted him, ambassadors, ministers,
scientists. men prominent in many walks
of life. who were present joining in 1t.
4 smile overspread the strong face of

waited for the applause to cease. Then
he expressed his appreciation of the honor
conferred on him, thanking the society for
