We were but one hundred miles from the pole, but there was nothing to relieve the mental r strain of the icy despair. The wind came with the same sa- ‘hnic out from the west. There had been little drift, but the ice be fore us displayed signs of rvcent activity. It was more irregular, with an open crack here and there, but the sleds glided with less friction, and the dreary dogs maintained a better speed under rising ; With teeth set and newly sharpened resolutions, we set out f0l‘ thot Inst one hundred miles. Some dogs had gone into the stomachs ef their hungry companions, 'but there still remained a sunlcient pull If well tried brute force for each sled, and though their noisy vigor Ill been lost ln the long drag they still broke the frigid silence with ll osulionul outburst.
