astonlshed TO see no living thing upon
the expanse OF ice and snow.
They caught sight OF an injured dog
clinging TO a ledge. About it were
fragments of something. they could
not tell what. but nothing to show
that MINIS had not plunged TO the
very bottom OF the abyss
Funeral Service Beside Crevasse.
For many hours the two called at
intervals, but no answer came except
the moaning or the dog. After awhile
even these interludes in the eerie still
ness ceased, and hope that MINIS was
alive or that IL he were assistance
could be rendered him was given up.
The rope available fell far short of
reaching the ledge, 100 feet below, on
which the dog lay. Finally the burial
service was read Mt the brink OF the
crevasse, and Mawson and Merit re-
sumed their journey.
The slcdge that remained TO them
after this disaster bore imam food
for only one and one-half weeks.
Owing 10 the bad weather and the
necessary reduction In rations the
dogs failed rapidly. and by the first OF
January none OF them remained. The
