The surface vibrated as' we moved along, but the spiked handle of the ice-axe did not easily pass through. For about two miles we walked with an easy tread and considerable anxiety, but had all been on similar ice before and knew that with a ready line and careful watch- fulness there was no great danger. A cold bath, however, in that tempera- ure, forty degrees below, could have | had some serious consequences. In two crossings all our supplies- were safely landed on the north shores, and from there the lead had a much more picturesque effect. For a time this huge separation in the pack was a mystery to me. At first sight there seemed to be no good reason for its existence. Peary had found a similar break mnorth of Robe- son Channel. It seemed likely that what we saw was an extension of the same lead following at a distance the general trend of the northernmost land extension. This is precisely what one finds on a smaller scale wherever ice packs come together. Here we have a pack 'of “the central polar sea meeting the land ice. The movement of the land pack is intermittent and usually.along the coast. The shallows, grounded ice and projecting points interfere with a steady drift. The movement of the central pack is quite constant and al- most in every direction. The tides, the currents and the winds each give momentum to the floating mass. This lead is the break- ing line between the two bodies of ice, It widens as the pack separates, nar- rows or widens ;with an easterly or westerly drift, according fo the press-- ure of thé central pack. Barly in the season when the pack is. little crev- assed and not elastic It is probably wide; Tater as the entire sea of ice becomes ‘active it may disappear or #hift-to a line nearer the.land. New lce Stops Drift. In low temperature new ice forms rapidly -and this offers an obstruction to the drift of the old ice. As the heavy central ice is pressed against the unyielding pack the small ice is ground up and even heavy floes are crushed. This reduced mass of small ice is pasted and cemented along the shores of the big lead, leaving a broad band of troublesome surface as a se- rious barrier to sled travel. It seems quite likely that this lead, or a con- dition similar to it, extends entirely around the polar sea as a buffer be- tween the land and the middle pack. With the big lead and its many pos— sibilities for troublesome delay behind, a course was set to reach the eighty- fifth parallel on the ninety-seventh merijdian. What little movement was noted on the ice had been easterly, and to allow for this drift we aimed to keep a line slightly west of the pole. Small floes, with low pressure lines separated by narrow belts of new ice, were the rule during these days of travel. The temperature rose to forty- one below. The western sky cleared slightly and offered strong appear— ances of land. The wind was not a troublesome factor as we forged along for the first day over this central pack. After a run of eleven hours the pedometer reg— istered twenty-three miles, but we had taken a zigzag course and therefore only placed seventeen miles to our credit. The night was beautiful. The sun sank into a purple haze and soon there appeared three suns in prismatic col- ors and these soon settled into the frozen sea. During the night a nar- row band of orange brightened the northern skies, while the pack sur- face glowed in magnificent shades of violet and lilac and pale purple blue, Land Clouds Still Visible. Satisfactory observations at noon on March 24 gave our position as lati- ude 83 deg. 31 min., longitude 96 deg. min. The lagd clouds of Grant Land were still visible and a low bank of mist in the west occasionally brightened, offering an outline sug- gestive of land. This we believed to be Crocker Land, but mist persistent- ly screened the horizon and did not offer an opportunity to study the con- tour. Until midday the time was used for observations and a study of the land condition: The dogs sniffed the air as if scenting game, but after a dili- gent search one seal blow hole was found on an old bear track, but no aglae or other small life was detected in the water of the crevices. At the big lead a few aglae were gathered, but here the sea was sterile. The signs of seal and bear, however, were encouraging for a possible food sup- ply. In returning the season would be more advanced and the life might move northward, thus permitting an extension of the time allowance of our rations. Though the heat of the sun was barely felt, its rays began to piece the eve with painful effects. The bright light, being reflected from the -spot- less surface of the storm driven snows, could not long be endured evep by the Eskimos without some protection. The amber colored goggles that we had made at Annootok from the glass '6f ‘the photographic supplies /now proved ‘a priceless discovery. ‘Eney ‘effectually removed one of the great- ést torments to Arctic travel. | The daurkened or smoky glasses, blue €lasses of ordinary. eutomgbile gog- #les had al been tried with indifferent iresulis. They failed for one reason or another, mostly begause of &n.insyf- ficient range or vision or a faulty con- struction, miking it impossible to pro- ceed more than a few minutes without removing the accumulated condensa- tion.

Good | brogress was made, but we were not allowed to forget any time that we were invading the forbidden domains of polar environment. | THe Bitter Cold. In starting before the end of the winter night and camping on the open ice flelds in thé long northward march, | we had first accustomed our eyes to | a frigid darkness and then to a per- | petual glitter with sbivers. This prov- | €d to be the coldest season of the year, We should have been hardened to ali kinds of Arctic torment, but man_only gains that advantage when the pulse ing spirit. Along the land there had beer caliis and gales and an inspiring contrast, even in the dark days and nights, but here the frigid world was felt at its wors The - wind, which came persistently from the west—now strong, now feeble, but always sharp— inflicted a_pain to which we never be- came accustomed. The kind of torture most felt in this wind and humid air of an Arctic pack was a pictnresque mask of ice about the face. Every bid of exhaled mois- tur- cond:ised and froze, either to the facial hair or to the line of fox talls about the hood. It made a comical caricature of us. The frequent turns in this course hrought both sides to the wind and ar ranged a line of icicles from every hair offering a convenient nueleus, These lines of crystal offered a plea ing dash of light and color as we loo ed at each other, but they did not af- 4 o o ford much amusement to the imdividual thees; i aslom "er (oY jovere | axhibiting thems Such hair as-had. fiot object of screening the strong light [ Peen pulled from the 'lips and the which passes through the eyelids and | C'D W first weighted, and then the also to keep the forehead warm ind carried thé -breath to the lgng On this march in the early part of | D2l With which we protected our t# afternoon the weather proved good ’,'I‘m‘:‘ and left a mass of dangling | and the ice, though newly crevassed, | oSt . % I ‘improved as we advanced.

Little sooty clouds. with ragged edges scurried along at an alarming pace and beyond a huge smoky bank black- ened the pearly glitter. Suitable camping ice was sought and in the course of an hour an igloo was built:. The structure was built stronger than usual. Double tiers of snow blocks were placed to the wind- ward and a little water was thrown over the top to cement the blocks. The doge were fastened to the ice of hummocks and sleds were securely lashed and fastened to the ice. We expected a hurricane and had not long to wait to taste of its bitters, Before we were at rest in our bags the wind brushed the snows with a force inconceivable. The air thicken- ed with rushing drift. - In a few mo- ments the dogs. and sleds were buried under banks of $how and great drifts encircled - the igloo. The cemented blocks of our ‘dome withstood - the sweep of theblast very well, but many small holes were burrowed through the snow - wall, ' permitting some dyift to enter. Early in the mornifg, after a rush of but a few hours, the storm ceased as suddenly as it came and left a still- ness which was appalling.,” The dogs Soon hegan to how! desperately, as if attacked by a bear, and we rushed out, seeking guns, but there was no ap- proaching creature. It was a combined signal of distress The. storm driven snmows had burie and bound them in unyielding -fros They had partly uncovered themsel but by trace -and. harness ¢ frozen to: hardened masses, 80 that few so much could rise and stretch, which is‘a‘sereve torment to dogs af- ter a storm. We freed their traces, beat the cemented snows from their furs with sticks, and their curling tails and pointed noses told of common gratitude. As we skirmisited about for a littl stretch ourselves the sun rose over the northern biye, flashing the newly driven snows ,fn warm tones. The temperature during the .storm rose to 26 below, but now the thermometer sank rapidly below 40. The west was still smoky and the weather did not seem quite settled. It was too early to start, so we disrobed again, slipped into the bags and “sought a Quiet slumber. A few hours later we were rudely awakened by loudi- explosive noises Looking about nothing ‘unusual detected about the igloo and a pe through the eye port gave no cauge for the disturbance. It was concluded that the ice was cracking from the sydden change of -temperature in quite the usual-harmleéss manner and we turned over to prolong the bag comforts, Then there came a series of thunt dering noises, with which the ice quivered. . Ahwelah arose and said that the house was breaking. I turned to rise and sank into a newly formed crevass, which up to that moment was bridged by snow—a man in a bag is : helpiess creature—and with water be. low and tumbling blocks of snow from above pressing one deeper and deeper the case was far from humorous at a temperature of 48 below. Still the boys laughed heartily Their hands. however, were quick occupied. Ahwelah grabbed my ta; and rolled me over on snow of doubt- | ful securi They then slipped into furs with electric quickness and tossed the things out on safe ice. In the extreme cold the water froze in sheets about the bag, and when the | ice was beaten off the reindeer skin was, to my pleasure. found quite dry. A few moments more of sleep and we might all have found a resting place in the ‘chilling deep. That experience kept us ever watchful for the dangers of the spreading ice in all calms after storms. i COOK AND HIS TWO ESKIMOS LIVE IN PERPETUAL PAIN.

The western horizon remained persistently undisturbed, « brisk storm. it seemed, was gathering, but it was a-long time in- coming ‘eastward. On the evening of the 26th we prepared for the hlast 4 and built the igloo stronger than usu- al, hoping that the horizon would be cleared by a good blow on the morrow and afford us a day of rest. The long, steady marches, without time for re- cuperation, had begun to check our enthusiasm. In the daily monotony of hardship we had learned to appreciate more and more the joy of the sleeping bag. It was the only animal comfort which afforded a relief to our life of frigids, and with it we tried to force upon the weary body_ in- the long marches a pleasing anticipation The Disrobing. the evening, after the bloc In snow walled a dome in-which we could breathe quiet air, the blue flame lamp sang the notes of gastronomical de lights.
