Chydenius range. which eliminates in

height of nearly 6,0O0 feet, and thence

Gus country TO HinlOpen strait.
My pilot Neumann, was veteran
seapiane operator. The great Ice ford
lay before US. On both sides vast gla-
ciers, framed in rugged cliffs, descend
ed into the deep blue water. To the
h"rthward rose sea of peaks and
plnnacles, whose violet hues stood out
with knife-like sharpness against the
golden-yellow horizon. To the south
ward one snowy dome followed an
other under an azure blue Italian
heaven, beyond which our gaze
seemed to lose itself in infinity.
But what allied our motor? When
would knock distressingly. I left 1t
to Neumann to decide whether we
should turn back, but he motioned
vigorously ahead, throttled down his
motor as much as possible and trust
ed to his flyers luck" not to leave US
in the lurch.
Take Pictures of Scenery.
We were only 5000 feet above the
sea and Newtontop still lowered above
us. When Neumann gave the motor
more gas TO rise higher. it began to
knock again, so our only recourse was
to find way through the mountain
passes, where we were violently tossed
hlther and thither by powerful wind
currents. We would glide above deep
abysses, skirt, gittering bluish-green
ice precipices, and turn sharply this
way and that in order to record on
our films as much as possible of the
glorious, awe-inspiring scenery on
either hand. Neumann performed his
task with coolness and courage.
For nearly half an hour we threaded
our way with many twist and turn
amid the highest peaks of Spitzbergen
in seaplane! Leaving our lofty
mountain companions we were soon
speeding over mighty glacier. where
we could easily have made landing
almost anywhere.
