THIR.D INSTALLMENT.
EARLY in January of 1903 the
campaign opened. A few sleds
were sent to the American
shores to explore a route and
to advance supplies.
. Clouds and storms made the moon
light days dark, and therefore these
advance expeditions -were only partly
successful.
On Feb. 19, 1908, the main expedi
tion started for the pole. Eleven men,
firlving 103 dogs and moving 11 heav
ily loaded sleds, left the Greenland
sboie and pushed westward over the
troublesome Ice of Smith sound to
Cape Sabine.
The glom of the long winter night
was but little relieved by a few hours
of daylight, and the temperature was
very low.
Eighty-three Degrees Below.
Passing through a valley between
Ellesmere Land and Grlnnell Land
from the head of Flagler bay. in cross
ing to the Pacific slopes, the tempera
ture fell to 83 degrees F. below zero.
In Raj fiord many musk oxen were
secured, and, though the winter frost

was at Its lowest, there was little wind,
and with an abundance of fresh meat
and also fat for fuel the life In the
now house proved fairly comfortable.
The Ice in Eureka and Nansen
sounds proved fairly smooth, and long
inarches were made. With an abun
dance of game musk oxen, bears and
hares we found it quite unnecessary
to use the supplies taken from Green
land. Caches of food and ammunition
were left along rielberg Island for the
return.
Willing Savage Hands.
Thus we managed to keep in game '
trails and in excellent fighting trim to
the end of known lands. Camping In

'looked out over the heavy ice of the I
polar seas through eyes which had j
'been hardened to the worst of polar j
environments.
There was at hand an abundance ol
supplies, with willing savage hands
and a superabundance of brute force
in overfed pelts, but for a greater cer- j
tainty of action over the unknown re- '
sions beyond I resolved to reduce the :
force to the smallest numbers con
istent with the execution of the prob- ;
lem in hand. !
We had traveled nearly 400 miles in
twenty-eight days. There remained a
line of 520 miles of unknowable trou-
ble to bo overcome before our goal
coukl be reached. For this final task
we were provided with every conceiv
able device to ease this hard lot; but,
In addition to a rducod party. 1 now
definitely resolved to simplify the cu
tire equipment. At Svartevog a big
cache was made. In this cache fresu
meat, todnu, pemmican and much oth j
er food, together with nil discarded !
articles of equipment, were left. i
In the northward advance every
factor of the dog train had been care
fully watched and studied to provide
a perfect working force for the Una I ;
reach over the polar sea. Ltukishul; !

each twenty years old. had been chosen ;
as best fitted to be my sole oonipnn- !
Jons iti the long run of destiny. Twen-
ty-six dogs were picked, and ijm.h two
sleds were loaded all our needs for a
stay of eighty days.
All Fnr Prnn.... i
- .
To have increased this party would
not have enabled us to carry supplies
for a greater number of days. The
sleds might have leeu loaded more
heavily, but this would reduce the im
Krtunt progress of the first days.
With the character of ice which we
hud before us advauce stations were
impossible. A large exjedition and a
heavy equipment seemed imprudent.
We must win or lose in a prolouged
effort at Ugh pressure, and therefore
absolute control and ease of adapta
bility to a changing environment must
be assured.
It is impossible to adequately con
trol the complex human temperament
of unknown men in the polar wilder
ness, but the two Eskimo boys could
be trusted to follow to the limit of my
own endeavors, and our sleds were
burdened only with absolute necessities.
I ' ' '
Cutting Down Weight.
Because of the Importance of a light
and efficient equipment much care was
taken to eliminate every ounce of
weight. The sleds were made of hick
ory, the lightest wood consistent with
great endurance, but every needless
fiber was gouged out. The iron shoes
were ground thin, and in every way the
weight of nearly everything was re
duced even after leaving headquar
ters. The little train, therefore, which fol
lowed me into the farther mystery
was composed of two sleds, each
carrying GOO pounds, drawn by 13
dogs, under the lash of an expert
driver. The combined freight was as
followsr Pemmican, 805 pounds; musk
ox tfuderloin, 50 pouuds; todnu. 25
pounds; tea, 2 pounds; coffee. 1 pound:
sugar. 25 pounds; condensed milk. 40
poum'.s; milk biscuits, CO pounds; pea
soup, powdered and compressed. 10
ounds; surprises. 5 pounds; petro
leum, 40 pounds; wood alcohol. 2
pounds; candles. 3 pounds; matches. 1
pound.

The Camp Equipment.
The camp equipment included the
following articles: One blow fire lamp
(Jeuel), 3 aluminium pails, 3 alumini
um cups, 3 aluminium teaspoons, 1 ta
blespoon, 3 tin plates. G pocketknives,
2 butcher knives (10 inches), 1 saw
knife (13 Inches), 1 long knife (15 inch
es), 1 rifle (Sharpe). 1 rifle (Winchester,
22), 110 cartridges, 1 hatchet. 1 Alpine
ax, extra line and lashings. 3 personal
bags.
I he sled equipment was 2 sleds
weighing 52 pounds each. 12 foot fold
ing canvas boat. 34 pounds; 1 silk tent,
2 canvas sled covers. 2 sleeping bags
(reiDdeer skin), floor furs, extra wood
for sled repairs, screws, nails and riv
ets.
The instruments were as follows
Three compasses, 1 sextant, 1 artificial
horizon (glass), 1 pedometer, 3 pocket
chronometers. 1 watch, charts, map-
making material and instruments. 3
thermometers, 1 aneroid barometer,
camera and films, notebooks and pen
cils.
The personal bags contained four ex
tra pairs of kamiks, with fur stockings.
a woolen shirt, three pairs of sealskin
mittens, two pairs of fur mittens, a
piece of blanket, a sealskin coat (uet
sha), a repair kit for mending clothing
and dog harness, :tra fox tails.
On the march we wore snow goggles,
blue fox coats (kapitahs), birdskin
shirts, woolen drawers, bearskin pants,
kamiks and hareskin stockings. We
fastened a band of fox tails under the
knee and about the waist.
Helping the Advance.
On the morning of March is prepara
tions were made to divide the patty.
The advance must be helped over the
rough ice of the pack edge, and for
this purpose Koolootingvvali and luu
gito were selected. The other six Es
kimos prepared to return. One sled
was left with the cache to iusure a
good vehicle for our return in case- the
two sleds were badly brokeu en route.
A half gale was blowing into Xan
sen sound from the northwest, but this
;d not interfere with the starting of
those home going Eskimos. With
abundant game for the return they re
quired little but ammunition to sup
ply their wants.
When the word was given to start,
the dogs were gathered and the sleds
were spanned with a jump. Soon they
disappeared in the rush of driving
snow. The crack of the whips and
the rebound of cheering voices were
the last which we heard of the faithful
suvage supporters. They had followed
not for pay, but for a real desire to
be helpful, from the dark days of the
ending of night to the bright nights
of the coming double days, and their
parting enforced a pang of loneliness.
Another Sleep Before the Start.
With a snow charged blast In our
faces it was quite impossible for as
to start, so we withdrew to the snow
igloo, entered our bags and slept a few
hours longer. At noon the horizon
cleared. The wind veered to the south
west and came with an endurable
force. The dogs had been doubly fed
the night before. They were not to
be fed again for two days. The 1,200
: i
rwn nds of f reieht were packed on oar
sleds, and quickly we slipped around
deep grooves in the great poliocrystlc
floes.
The snow had been swept from the
ice by the force of the preceding
storms, and the speed attained by the
dogs through even rough Ice was such
that it was difficult to keep far enough
ahead to get a good course.
The crevasses and pressure lines gave
HttlA trouble at first but the hard Ir
regularity of the bared ice offered a
dangerous surface for the life of oct
sleds, oasslng through bine gorges
among miniature mountains of sea
ice. On a course slightly west or
north we soon 6ank the bold headland
which raises the northern point of
Heiberg Island.
Camp Is Pitched.
After a run of twenty-six miles we
pitched camp on a floe berg of unusual
height. There were many Dig nuni
moeka about, to the lee of which were
great banks of hardened snow. Away
from land it is always more dimcnu
to find snow suitable for cutting build- j
Ing blocks, but here was an abundance
conveniently placed. In the course or
an hour a comfortable palace of crys
tal was erected, and into it we crept
ont of the Diercing wind. The first
day's march over the circumpolar sea
was closed with a good record.
The'dogs curled up and went to sleep
without a call, as if they knew there
would be no food until the morrow.
My wild companions covered their
faces with their convenient long hair j
and sank quietly into a comfortable j
slumber, but for me sleep was quite
Impossible. Letters must be written.
The whole problem of our campaign
must be agaiu carefully studied and
final plans must be made not only to
reach our ultimate destination, but for
the returning parties and for the secu
rity of the things at Annootok.
Impossible to Foretell Return.
It was difficult at this time to even
guess at the probable line of our re
turn to land. Much depended upon
conditions encountered in the north
ward route. Though we had left
caches of supplies, with the object of
returning along Nansen sound into
Cannon fiord and over Arthur Land.
I entertained grave doubts of our abil
ity to return this way. If the Ice
drifted strongly to the east we might
not be given the choice of working out
our own return. In that event we
would be carried perhaps helplessly to
Greenland and must seek a return
either along the east coast or the west
coast
This drift did not offer a dangerous
hardship, for the musk oxen would
keep us alive to the west, and to the
east it seemed possible to reach Shan
non island, where the Baldwin-Ziegler
expedition had abandoned a large
cache of supplies. It appeared not im
probable also that a large land exten
sion might offer a safe return much
farther west.
Francke'a Instructions.
Because of this uncertainty Francke
was instructed to wait until June 5,
1908, and if we did not return he was
told to place Koolootingwah In charge
and go home either by the whalers or
by the Danish ships to the south.
No relief which he could offer would
help us. and to wait for an Indefinite
time alone would have inflicted a need
less hardship. This and many other
instructions were prepared for Koo
lootingwah and Inugito to take back.
In the morning the frost in crystals
had been swept from the air, but there
remained a humid chill which pierced
to the bones. The temperature was
minus 56 F. A light air came from
the west, and the sun burned in a
freezing blue.
After a few hours' march the ice
changed in character. The extensive
thick fields gave place to moderate
sized floes. The floes were separated
by zones of troublesome crushed ice
thrown into high pressure lines, which
offered serious barriers, but with the
ice ax and Eskimo ingenuity we man
aged to make fair progress.
The second run on the polar sea wa3
with twenty-one miles to our credit.
I had expected to send the supporting
party back from here, but progress
had not been as good as expected. We
could hardly spare the food to feed
their dogs, so they volunteered to push
along another day without dog food.
Return of the Helpers.
On the next day, with increasing dif
ficulties in some troublesome ice. we
camped after making only sixteen
miles. Here a small snow house was
built, and from here, after disposing of
a pot of steaming musk ox loins and
broth, followed by a double brew of
tea, our last helpers returned.
With empty sleds and hungry dogs
they hoped to reach land in one long
day's travel. But this would make the
fourth day without food for their dogs,
and in case of storm or moving ice
other days of famine might easily fall
to their lot They had. however, an
abundance of dogs and might sacrifice
a few for the benefit of the others, as
we must often do.
KOOLOOTINGWAH and inugito
had been our bedfellows for the
entire northward run. and they
had gone through many danger
ous and hard experiences together. We
therefore felt more keenly their de
parture than the going of the. first six.
We were at first lonely, but the exi
gencies of our problem were soon sufb
clently engaging to occupy every call
aud strain every fiber.
Now our party was reduced to three,
and. though the isolation was more op
pressive, there were the usual' advan
tages for greater comfort and progress
or a small family of workers. The In
creased number of a big expedition al
ways enlarges the responsibility ::u
difficulties. In the early part of a p. .la
venture this disadvantage is eli.n.iM
ed by the survival of the littest. h:

the men are married to eac h other aud
can no longer separate. A disabled
or
unfitted dog can be fed to his comtvi
n
ions, but an injured or weak man ca
u
not be put aside. An exnloriu;; veu
ture is only as strong as its weakest
member, and increased numbers, like
increased links in a chain, reduce effi
ciency.
The personal idiosyncrasies and
in-
conveniences always shorten the day
s
march; but, above all. a numerous Dar-
ty quickly divides into cliques, which
are always opposed to each other,
the leader and to the best interests
the problem in hand. With but two
savage companions, to whom this
: duous task was but a Dart of an
customed life of frost I hoped to over
come many of the natural Dersonal
barriers to the success of arctic expedi
tions.
! One Degree In Three Days.
' By dead reckoning our position was
lautuae 82 degrees 23 minutes, longi
ture 05 degrees 14 minutes. A study
; of the Ice seemed to Indicate that we
j had passed beyond the zone of ice
crushed by. the influence of land pres
' sure. Behind were great hummocks
and small Ice; ahead was a cbeei.w
expanse of larger floes. Using the ac
cumulated vigor of man and beast, we
had advanced a degree of latitude in
three days. Our destination was about
400 miles beyond.
But our life bad assumed quite an
other aspect. Previously we permit
ted ourselves some luxuries. A pound
of coal oil and a good deal of musk ox
tallow were burned each day to heat
the igloo and to cook abundant food.
Extra meals were served when an oc
casion called for it and each man ate
and drank all he desired. If the stock
bags or the mittens were, wet there
was fire enough to dry them out But
all of this must now be changed.
DB. COOK AS HE APPEARED WHEX HE
BEACHED COPENHAGEN.
There was a short daily allowance
of food and fuel one pound of pemmi
can per day for the-dogs, about the
same for the men, with just a taste of
other things. Fortunately, we were
well stuffed for the race with fresh
meat in the lucky run through game
lands.
At first no great hardship followed
the changed routine. We filled up suf
ficiently on two cold meals and used
superfluous bodily tissue. It was no
longer possible to jump on the sled
for an occasional breathing spell, as
we had done along the land. With
overloaded sleds the drivers 'must push
and pull at the sleds to aid the dogs,
and I searched the troubled Ice for an
asy route, cutting here and there with
the ice ax to permit the passing of the
leds. -Stripped

As we awoke on the following morn
ing and peeped out of the eye port the
sun was edging along the northeast,
throwing a warm oraiige glow on us
that gladdened our hearts. The. tem
perature was G3 degrees below zero
F.; the barometer was steady and
high. " There was almost no wind, and
not a cloud lined the dome of pale
purple blue.
After two cups of tea. a watch sized
biscuit, n chip of frozen meat and a
bowlder of pemmican we crept out of
the bags. The shivering legs were
pushed through 'bearskin cylinders.
which served as trousers; the feet were
worked Into frozen boots, and then we
climbed into fur coats, kicked the front
out of the snow house and danced
about to start the fires of the heart.
Quickly the camp furnishings were
tossed on the sleds and securely lash
ed down. The dog traces were gath
ered into the drag lines, and with a
vigorous snap of the long whip the
willing creatures bent to the shoulder
straps. The sleds groaned, and the un
yielding suows gave a metallic ring,
but the train moved with a cheerful
pace.
"Unne noona terronga dosangwah"
(good land out of sight today) we said
to one another, but the words did not
come with serious intent. In truth,
each in his own way felt keenly that
we were leaving a world of life and
possible comfort for one of torment
and suffering. Jleiberg island was al
ready only a dull blue haze, while
Grant Land was making fantastic fig
ures of its peaks and ice walls.
Wave of Mirages.
The stamp of reality had given place
to a wave of curious mirages. " Some
peaks seemed like active volcanoes;
others rose to exaggerated heights and
pierced the changing skies with multi
ple spires like church steeples. Alto

the upper surface of Grant Land under

scenes, but a more desolate line of
coast could not be imagined.
Low wind swept and ice polished
mountains were separated bj valleys
filled with great depths of snow and
ice. This interior accumulation moved
slowly to the sea. where It formed a
low ice fall, a glacier of the malasplna
type, but its appearance was more like
that of heavy sea ice; hence the name
of the fragments from this glacier, floe
berg, which, seen in Lincoln sea and re
sembling old floes, were supposed to be
the product of the upbuilding of the Ice
of the north polar sea.
Late in the afternoon the land sud

over the borizon, merging Impercepti
bly with the lighter purple blue of the
upper skies. We saw the land, howev
er, repeatedly for several days when
ever the atmosphere was in the right
condition to elevate the terrestrial con
tour lines.
All Conditions Favorable.
Everything was in our favor in this
march. The wind was not strong and
truck at an angle, making it possible
to guard the nose by pushing a mitten
under the hood or by raising the fur
clad hand. The snow was. hard, and
the Ice, in fairly large floes separated
by pressure lines, offered little trouble.
At the end of a forced effort of four
teen hours the register indicated twenty-nine
miles.
Too tired , to begin the construction
bf a house at once, we threw ourselves
down on the sledges for a short breath
ing spell and fell asleep. Awakened
about an hour later by a strong wind,
we hastened to seek shelter. The
heavy floe upon which we rested had
several large hummocks, and over to
the lee of one of these was'found suit
able snow for a camp. Lines of snowy
vapor were rushing over the pack,
and the wind came with a rapidly in
creasing force.
But the dome was erected before we
suffered severely from the blast, and
under it we crept out of the coming
storms into warm furs.
It blew fiercely that night but in the
morning the storm eased to a steady
draft, with a temperature of 59 de
grees below. At noon we emerged.
The snow grays had been swept from
the frigid dome, but to the north there:
remained a low black line over a
pearly cloud which gave us much un
easiness. It was a narrow belt of
water sky aud Indicated open water or
very thin ice at no great distance.
The upper surface of Grant Land
was a mere line, but a play o land
clouds over it fixed the eyes on the
last known rocks of solid earth. ' In
this march we felt keenly the piercing
cold of the polar sea. The temperature
gradually rose to 46 below In the after
noon, but the chill of the shadows In
creased with the swing of the sun's
glitter.
A Life Sapping Wind.
It still blew that light, life sapping
draft which sealed the eyes and bleach
ed the nose. We had hoped that this
would soften with the midday $un.
but instead it came with a sharper
edge. Our course was slightly west
of north; the wind was slightly north
of west It struck us at a painful an
gle andbrought tears. The moistened
lashes quickly froze together in wink
ing, and we were forced to halt fre
quently to unseal the eyes with the
warmth of the uncovered hand. In
the meantime we found the nose tip
ped with a white skin, and it also re
quired nursing. The entire face was
surrounded with ice.
This experience brought warm lan
guage, but there was no redress. If
we aimed to succeed the face must
be bared to the cut of the elements.
At about C o'clock, as the sun crossed
the west, we had reached a line of
high pressure ridges. Beyond the ice
was cut into smaller floes and thrown
together Into ugly irregularities. An
active pack and troubled seas could
not be far away, according to our sur
mises. The water sky widened, but
became less sharply defined.
We managed to pick a way among
hummocks and pressure lines which
seemed impossible from a distance.

seemed at the time to bar all farther
progress. We had a folding canvas
boat on the sleds, but In a temperature
of -IS degrees below zero no craft could
be lowered Into water without fatal
results. All of the ice about was firm

way was forged to the shore of the
great lead.

There were several narrow places,
while here and there floes had been
adrift in the lead and were now fixed

to make our snow house comfortable.
In exploring the shore line a partial
ly bridged place was found about a
mile from camp, but the young ice was
too elastic for a safe track. The tem

the setting sun, and the wind was Just
strong enough to sweep off the heated
vapors. A better atmospheric condi

thicken the young ice.
The groaning ice and the eagerness
to reach the opposite shores kept us
awake for a long time.' With the ear
resting on the frozen sea the vibrations
and noises of the moving pack were
not unlike those of an earthquake.

after we were on the thin Ice to test its

long time.
