%++O SYNOPSIS OF CHAPTERS |3l?lNTED ;

priltsd in the Herald of Wednesday. September 15, Dr. Frederick A.-Qoolc told of the start from Glouwstsr nn. the Bradley/. of the 'voyage to the polar ssss and of the overhauling en room of the équipfnesi needed for the dash to

the pole. _

In s praphto manner the disooverer wrote a story of Eskimo lilo that never

has been esoelled for human intorrat. He told of the hnmr life. the tragedy ond comedy thot minyle in the dreary existence af the dwellers in the Arclio, and 0/ the childlike eagerness of the notices to trade their valuable furs and

(tidal for the simplest things of rivilizution.

The yacht, her owner, Mr. John R. Bradley. the ra-nlorer and hit party

sore pictured in their preliminary work /or the #nal dash. _

Finally, after describing the various places 1.>i.vited in Greenland in noarch

of slides and information as to oomlitlons further north, llr. Cook wrote of the Crip across Ingle/Iold Gull, punt Cape Auclsland anal on toward Cape Bohdson. _

Hero the rlinovwerer nloned thn first part of his nnrrntive. with Etah ond

Lnnootok, the l ' points of call, looming in the icy rlistanre. '

The eighty-seventh vrss erolsed. the

eighty-sixth was neared, but there came n time when both mind and body wearied of the whole problem of forced resolu- tion.

The hnrd work of igloo building was

now n thing of the past-only one had hr-_en built since leaving the pole. und in it A precious dsy wus lost, while the st- nmsplioric fury changed the face of the 1-miles; expanse of desolation The little silk tent now housed ns sufficiently from the icy ulrs. _There were still fifty dc-~ green of frost, but with hardened skins and insensible nerve filaments the torture was not so keenly felt.

The steady diet of pemmlcnn and tea

und biscuits was now entirely sntisfne- tm-_v. ¥Vs ldnzed for enough to give n rr-nl filling sense. but the ration was slightly rrdured rather than increased. The rhnnge ln life from winter to som- mor. which should take plnce at about this time of.tho year, was ln our case marked onlyhy n change ln sholter. from the snow house fo the tent, and our bed was moved from the soft snow shelf nf the iglon tn the hard. wind swept crust.

The ea erncss to solve the mystery had served its pur

l d the memory of the adventure for n time remained as :A re-

P°” “_” - ' _ mlnder of reckless daring. As we now moved along the feeling of elution slowly subsided with the realization of the prospective dTill»

aultles of the return. Though the mercury was still frozen and the

- ‘ l d

snn’s perpetual flush was lost in a frigid blue. the time was at mn in lower latitudes for the ice to break and drift southward.

With correct reasoning all former expeditions had planned to

return to land and secure al line of retreat by May 1. We could not

hope to do so until early in June. It seemed, therefore, probable:

b h dl

that the loetalong the outskirts of the polar sea would c muc s mpfed and that open water, sumll ice und rapid drifts would seriously interfere with our retum to a sure footing on the shores

of Nansen Sound. All of this and many other possibilities were care-

fully considered before, but the conquest of thc pole was not possible

without risks.

We had started earlier than all other polar uspiranin and no time

had been lost en route. If misfortune came to us it could not be bc-

of wasted energies o'r'iiTi'néi‘éssaT'v delay. In the last days of

cause _ - the onward rush to success there was neither tiim- nor 0l>P°"1““ll.V to P°lider _over the bltiers of subsequent remorse, but now, facing; southern skies under which was home und ull lor which wn lived,

h b k trail seemed indescribably long. ln cold sober thought,

t o ac freed from the intoxication of polar enthusiasm, the difllculties dark-

ened in colon W9 now saw that the crucial stngi- of the campaign YM not the taking of the pole. The test of our film-ss ns boreal con- querors was to be measured by the outcome of al linul battle for lilc

against famine and frost.

The th-at days, however, passed rapidly. With iulr weather and

favorable ice long marches were mndv.
