Copenhagen.-The story told by Cap

crossing Of Greenland in company with
three hardy companions shows that
the dangers and hardships to be en-

Nansen journeyed over a part Of the
same wastes.
The Danish leader and his three COM
panions, DR.. Wagner, a German; Lar
sen. sailor, and Sigurdson, native
Of Iceland, were reduced during their
journey to eating pet dog. the only
animal left.
After landing on July "a. 1912, the
first mishap encountered was the loss
Of some ponies. Soon after that their
motorboat disappeared through the
thin ice. and the explorers had to wait
until near the end of September before
the ice was thick enough to bear their
sledges and horses. When they were
ready to start DR.. WAGNER fell and
broke a rib.
The expedition was ten miles east of
Queen Louise Land Oct. 10 and went
into winter quarters
Because fodder was short all the
ponies were killed except five, which
were trained to eat the flesh of their
brothers.

hut throughout the winter in a temper

Then. with the night temperature

The only chance for life was to kill
the pet dog. which had tramped with
them about 800 miles. This was done.
and the flesh was cooked and eaten.
