And through the casual attentions of other men, the occasional flattering half-hours with Carter Hazzard, the evenings of gossip at Mrs. Tarbury's, and round the long table at Montiverte's, Julia liked to sometimes think of Mark; his admiration was a little warm, reassuring background for all the other thoughts of the day.
On one side of the cabin, extending beneath the poop deck, with a row of lights in the circular wall formed by the stern, were the four cabins to be occupied by Captain Hazzard, the chief engineer, a middle-aged Scotchman named Gavin MacKenzie, Professor Simeon Sandburr, the scientist of the expedition, and the surgeon, a Doctor Watson Gregg.
The crash had been caused by a metal tray he had let drop. He now stood with as much vexation on his impassive countenance as it ever was possible for it to betray. "What on earth are you doing, Oyama?" sharply questioned Captain Hazzard. "I was but about to inquire if the cap-it-an and the boys would not have some refreshments," rejoined the Jap.

You know also that the object of Captain Hazzard is to discover the pole, if possible; in any event to bring back scientific data of inestimable value; but there's one thing you don't know and of which we ourselves know very little, and that is the thing that Harry let slip."
"You see, Captain Hazzard and his men can't get here, even with the motor-sledge, for two days." "Well, don't you think we had better abandon the ship and fly back to the camp?" suggested Billy. "And leave that ship for them to rifle at their leisure no," rejoined Frank, with lips compressed in determination, "we won't do that. We'll just go ahead and do the best we can that's all."
Elsie Hazzard presented me to her friends and, with lordly generosity, I presented the castle to them.
