of the Ross Sea in the Antarctic
summer. There the ice Is rela-
lively soft and tends to crack and
break off in huge chunks. Ice OF
the Kane Basin, on the other
hand, must be Clipped away bit
by bit. Only small Danish steam
ers, hugging the coast, have beer
able in the past to make their
way so far north as the American
Danish weather station at Thule
on Smith Sound and this was con-
siderably beyond the range Of the
Edisto.
On the east coast is the path
Of the East Greenland current
through which great schools Of
tcebergs are hurtled southwark
during the late winter months.
Passages Of open water are found
extending well above the Arctic
Circle and it is highly probable
that, in favorable years, leads
through thin ice might be found
as far north as Peary Land, the
northernmost part of Greenland.
In. fact there is a possibility. how
ever fantastic. that with fuller
knowledge of winds and currents
navigable ice might be encount-
cred almost to the pole itself.
Ship Lost Helicopter
Polar ice does not have q con-
siStent thickness. This lis regu-
lated by the conditions which
have obtained during the forma-
ton of the pack, which vary from
year to year. Emergency duties
prevented the Edisto from the full
realization Of its program and II
was further handicapped by the
loss Of its helicopter. without
which such a ship must proceed
blindly through a pack. 1t must
feel it's way and often 60 scores
Of miles out Of its way.
Compared to the west coast, the
east coast is stormy and inhos-
pitable. It is essentially uninhab-
tied, although it has much larger

years, but I'll be here when the
work is completed"
Marchal hopes to have an as
sistant soon. There is 30 much
to be done and so much to learn.
But he just shrugs his shoulders
when asked when this assistant
will arrive.
The curator Of Angkor lives at
the modern Grand Hotel dang
kor, about 31a miles from Angkor
Wat. From the hotel windows the
central tower of the temple can
be seen, rising 20 stories into the
Cambodian sky.
Every day he directs his coolies
in burning vegetation. restoring
crumbling corridors and pillars IN
the jungle-choked ruins.

sporadic clashes. Even visit to

pools, fantastic temples and
Buddhist monuments, are within
easy reach. These are the most

lit seemed sometimes that the
major part of the Edisto's time
was taken up with such supply
missions, to the detriment Of its
primary mission Of exploration.
Among the major problems of the
future is that of working out a
more economical way Of deliver
ing supplies.
Even an icebreaker at times
gets in a perilous position. One
night. for example. the Edisto
found itself in the center Of q
storm such as probably never be-
fore was encountered by human
beings. Picture the heaviest sea
imaginable. with a'ship practically
turning somersaults and tons OF
water smashing on its sides and
low decks. Then imagine the sur
face of this sea changed to thick
ice, but with the same mountain
Gus pillows, the same violent mo-
ton. The spray of water becomes
spray of 500-pound ice cakes.
They rain like artillery shells
against the hull. All around Is
stygean darkness. The experience
continues all night long until, with
the dawn. the ship is able to stag
ger out of the storm.
It suffered relatively little dam
age. It is difficult to imagine any
other ship In existence which
would not have been torn to pieces
in such an experience.
No Contact With Land
For an icebreaker crew. a winter
cruise of this sort means almost
complete isolation. Especially
along the west coast Of Greenland
there are several towns. some of
fair size. But. in accordance with
the historic policy of the Green
land government. they are COM
pletely closed and sailors can only
snap pictures Of them from a dis
tance. 1t is the policy to protect
Greenlanders the combination
Eskimo Scandinavian race which
inhabits the island-from any
contact whatsoever with outsiders.
There can be little question but
that this has been q wise policy
its wisdom evidenced by the
superior culture and material well
fare Of these people as compared
with those Of the average Indian
reservation. But whenever the
ship came close TO shore there
were Eskimos-men, women and
children-thronging the ice and
appealing for cigarettes and chew
ing gum.
The cruise Of the Edisto this
winter may be considered an open
ing move In explorations Of this
sort. trail-blazing operation TO
be followed UP by other icebreak-
ers in future winters. For the
past four years the Navy has car
ried out summer icebreaker oper-
ations in the Arctic pack, particu-
larry In the narrow channels
among the islands north of Can
ada. Among these La the long
sought northwest passage. These
summer operations are essential
to the far-f1ung chain Of weather
stations under joint American and
Canadian auspices. whose obser-
vations are having far-reaching
effects on forecasting for the
North American continent.
Presumably such expeditions
viii be continued every year.
Their problems. however. are rela-
lively simple. compared with those
of a winter cruise. When they
nose their way into the far north
ern waters the Ice. under q giar-
ing summer sun. Is growing softer.
In winter cold and darkness 1t Is
growing harder and thicker. Only
