in a stranglehold. With my knife / cut the tangled harness.
This freed the dogs, although it lost for us our heavily
loaded sledge. 1t sank like a shot. l made a wild lunge and
caught the nearest dog as it swan toward the surface in a
frenzy for air. It pulled us along. In another moment our
heads popped out of the water. l was still c%lutching the
dog, and as he scrambled to the top of the nearest floe, we
were dragged with him.
Leaping from floe to floe, we reached the edge of the
unbroken ice. In a little while we were again on solid foot
ing, none the worse for our narrowing experience than a
thorough drenching of our outer clothes. Our bodies in the
air and water proof suitings were dry and warm.

Gradually we crept out Of that
fog, but as we did 20 it began to
freeze on us. We looked back. The
picture of the Queen of the Skies
reminded us of previous ex-
perience in the Himalaya Noun
tains. It resembled a sky phantom,
bristling with icicles. Yet it
pounded doggedly on our heels.
AT last we reached the pole.
There the ice was much broken anG
masses of small floes were visible.
All three solemnly shook hands
and Pearl dropped the Stars and

near vicinity OF the North Pole,
alone, lost and helpless, with four
Eskimo dogs which might have
to serve as our only source of food
and with no means of protecting
ourselves from attacks from polar
bears.
We did not know which way to
move, for all directions-north,
south, east and west-looked the

blizzard to rage.

We thought the dogs might pick
up their own scent. Nothing dong!
They were more exasperatingly lost
than we were.
Still, we were not depressed.

Our chief irritant for the time

I begged her pardon, humbly. I
tried to have her understand that
