Nanson, with his sledges, reached a latitude of 86 N., sud, then advanced, still further on ski (pronobuco akoa"), bat saw no and before him, nothing but hammeoke had Hömmacks far. away to the distant horizon. The country ** -intond-loŋkoit—like a neu of frozen billows and broakars. Nansen and Jobausoh were
hardly indeel, for they wore travelling, for lightness soko, without their Tors, and the bemperatura was 10 degroes bolow zero. !
The intrepid explorer now turned unthwards, Iaving soon to land is uny direction, and now danger, troublo, and suffering began in oarnost. Their watalos having mn down, they wore in n meunor lost on their great son of ies, and oracle opened up here and there which much delayzil them. In Juno the cracks got mero and more namorous, and the snow on top of the ice softened, in that stadgarngners shuk deeply in it.

During this solitary wintering Nausea and his friend had noan of those terribly experiontes endured by Greely and his people, but simplo and modest as the following sentences of his are, any Aretio traveller can read between the linos The winter, however, passed well, and we were both in perfect health. The spring. Como "with sunshine and much open water to the south-west, and we hoped to have a sy voyage to Spitzbergen over flow i and opon water. We were obliged to manufac turo now clothes from our blankets, and a new sleeping bag of bearekin. Our provisions wory rai bear meat, and blubber. On May *fe were at st ready to start, and came to open water on May 33, in 81 deg. 5min. N., but we were retarded by storms until June 2. A little south of 81 deg, wa fotund "Hand extending westward, and the open water reached vest-north-wort along its north coast. Bat we preferred to travol southward over ies through a broad sound. We come on Jaus 12 to the south side of the islands, and found wach open water, lending westward. We sailed and puddled in this dicbetion in order to proced acton to Spitzbergon from the most wastern cape, but Payor's map is misleading."
A diet of raw boar meat and blubber has been the only foot these mon bed partaken of for tin long yeary mouths.
Well, was a very remarkable coincidoneu- that Namion should hasa wintered unwittingly within easy ball, as sailors say, of Jackso
orch whip, the Windward, and excepting the aluat nerpeated meeting of Stanley_with Livingstone, I know nothing to equal it: Thoro is, murnover, considerable humour in this meel- ing which arst ever romain historical.
The Arctiestoamar Windward line now (Sept.,. 1896) returned to the Thames, and born right boardly received, for the British do love a brave, mau. Harty Fisher was the bolunist of Jackson's expedition, and Armitage the astronomer. Well, - the Windward's folks were at Franz Josef Land, where they had built a very aang hat, and managed to dine every day on the fat of the lund. This is ägurative, because thöy did nớt Bas blabber, a poor Nansen and his comrade And to do, but good English boof and greens, dessert, and Scotch whisky, to say nothing of port and sherry. Well, it was just after dinner on June 17th, and the party wars at dessert, talking and laughing as usual, when Armitage, who had been at the observatory popped his hood in
"Are we all bere, boys ?" he cried excitedly, **foe, by Georgral theri's a man on the ice.”
They were all there, ao the max must be a stranger. I need barely say that it wax Numar or that all hands went to meet him.
It was a dull, misty sort of a day, but not cold, and so grant was Jackson's surprise when he mos a man in Arctis dross, but as blacks the dei timsal" with blubber amokn, that he could only stor some such words as: "Is this Nansen By Jove! I am awfully glad to see
**So am Ito see you !" said Nanson,
All sevmel toe inuch surprised for a time to paalt or say much to the purpose. But zufresh- monte, a bath, and snita of clothes made both Nansen and his friend Johnson clean and fit. The poor fellows had not changed their clothing for fifteen oathr! Then they ware photo graphed, Up great pity being that this and not beon done, while they were still black, grimy, Bud ragged.
