ON THE TRAIL.

It was a long, wet sail up the coast with the wind ahead, and Carroll was content, when, on reaching Comox, Vane announced his intention of stopping there until the mail came in. Immediately after its arrival, Carroll went ashore, and came back empty-handed.

"Nothing," he said. "Personally, I'm pleased. Nairn could have advised us here if there had been any striking developments since we left the last place."

"I wasn't expecting to hear from him," Vane replied.

Carroll read keen disappointment in his face, and was not surprised, although the absence of any message meant that it was safe for them to go on with their project, which should have afforded his companion satisfaction.

They got off shortly afterwards and stood out to the northwards.

Most of that day and the next two they drifted with the tides through narrowing waters, though now and then for a few hours they were wafted on by light and fickle winds. At length they crept into the inlet where they had landed on the previous voyage, and on the morning after their arrival set out on the march. There was on this occasion reason to expect more rigorous weather, and the load each carried was an almost crushing one. Where the trees were thinner, the ground was frozen hard, and even in the densest bush the undergrowth was white and stiff with frost, while, when they could see aloft through some chance opening, a forbidding grey sky hung over them. 1.

input: (CNN) -- Cristiano Ronaldo has consistently been linked with a move back to Manchester United -- but Real Madrid star Mesut Ozil insists his club must hold onto the player if it is to challenge at the very top.

Ronaldo, who left United for Real in a world record $130 million deal in 2009, has been the subject of much speculation in recent months.

The 28-year-old has scored 201 goals in 199 appearances for Real and club president Florentino Perez recently stated that he expected Ronaldo to finish his career in the Spanish capital.

But the speculation refuses to disappear -- leaving Ozil hoping his Portuguese teammate stays put.

"Cristiano Ronaldo is very important to the team, just look at all the goals he has scored in the past few seasons," he told CNN.

"He's a great person off the field. I hope he can stay here for a long time because he can help us win important titles."

The loss of Ronaldo would be a huge blow to a Real side hoping to snatch the league title back from Barcelona and win its first Champions League crown since 2002.

Real has lost out at the semifinal stage in each of the past three seasons with Borussia Dortmund the last team to put paid to the Spanish club's dream of a 10th triumph in the competition.

"We have come very close to winning the Champions League in the past few years and that leaves a very bitter taste in the mouth," Ozil revealed. 1. How many goals has Cristiano Ronaldo scored?

input: (CNN) -- North Korea twice came back from behind to hold Greece 2-2 in a friendly between two sides heading to the World Cup next month, while fellow finalists Paraguay lost 2-1 to the Republic of Ireland.

In a match played at a neutral venue in Altach, Austria, Costas Katsouranis gave Greece the lead in the second minute with a close-range finish.

The Koreans leveled when Jong Tae-se beat two players and fired a shot past goalkeeper Michalis Sifakis.

Angelos Charisteas came off the bench to put the Greeks 2-1 in front shortly after half-time but, three minutes later, Jong raced down the right flank, cut inside and slammed home his second.

Greece substitute goalkeeper Alexandros Tzorvas had to be at his sharpest to keep out a powerful shot from Cha Jong-hyok that could have won the game for the Asian side.

In Dublin, first-half goals from Kevin Doyle and Liam Lawrence helped Ireland to victory over the South Americans.

Wolves striker Doyle bundled the opener after Paraguay forward Roque Santa Cruz had headed against his own bar.

Lawrence smashed home the second in the 39th minute following a chest down from Doyle.

Lucas Barrios pulled a goal back on his Paraguay debut but Giovanni Trapattoni's men held on for victory.

The Paraguayans are in the same group as defending champions Italy, New Zealand and Slovakia at the World Cup.
