Text Appearing Before Image:
us, think ofNorway, think of all the friends that gave us theirtime, their faith, and their money, the wish comes thatthey may not be disappointed, and I grow sombre whenour progress is not what we expected it would be.And she that gave most—does she deserve that hersacrifice should have been made in vain ? Ah, yes,we must and will succeed ! Sunday, December 3rd. Sunday again, with itsfeeling of peace, and its permission to indulge in thenarcotic of happy day-dreams, and let the hours go idlyby, without any prickings of conscience. To-day the bottom was not reached with over135^ fathoms (250 m.) of line. There was a north-easterly drift. Yesterdays observation showed us to bein 78° 44 north latitude, that is 5 farther north thanon Tuesday. It is horribly slow ; but it is forward, andforward we must go ; there can be no question of that. Tuesday, December 5th.--This is the coldest daywe have had yet, with the thermometer 31° belowzero (- 357° C.) and a biting wind from the E.S.E.

WH JO oo a C H ho S z °c/3 2 •« WCO oz o The Winter Night. 273 Observation in the afternoon shows 78° 50 northlatitude, that is 6 farther north than on Saturday, or2 per day. In the afternoon we had magnificentaurora borealis—glittering arches across the whole vaultof the sky from the east towards the west ; but when 1was on deck this evening the sky was overcast ; onlyone star shone through the cloudy veil—the home star.How I love it! It is the first thing my eye seeks, andit is always there, shining on our path. I feel as if noill could befall us as long as I see it there .... Wednesday, December 6th. This afternoon the icecracked abaft the starboard quarter ; this evening I seethat the crack has opened. We may expect pressurenow, as it is new moon either to-day or to-morrow. Thursday, December 7th. The ice pressed at thestern at five oclock this morning for about an hour.I lay in my berth and listened to it creaking and grindingand roaring. There was slight pressure again
