And the light of the achievement shines for all time. Fridtjof Nansen. Lysaker, May 3, 1912. The Opening of Roald Amundsen's Manuscript. To face page I, Vol. The History of the South Pole "Life is a ball In the hands of chance." Brisbane, Queensland, April 13, 1912.
In all the picture there was but one figure crowned with such raven locks as had distinguished Fridtjof the Bold, and that figure belonged to a girl standing directly opposite by the mossy curb of the old well, which, guarded by a circle of carefully tended trees, rose like an altar in the centre of the inclosure.
In the midst of it, the Lord of Ivarsdale looked around and found that Fridtjof the page was crying as though his heart would break. "How! Tears, my Beowulf!" he said in amazement. She was far beyond words, the girl in the page's dress; she could only bury her face deeper in her slender hands and try to control the sobs that shook her from head to foot.
"Fridtjof?" she questioned. At the sound of her voice, the boy turned and hastened toward her. Then a great cry burst from Sister Wynfreda, for the face under the black locks was the face of Randalin. At a hoary speaker Laugh thou never. Often is good that which the aged utter; Oft from a shrivelled hide Discreet words issue. Ha'vama'l. She made a convincing boy, this daughter of the Vikings.
"I had the intention to get to you but I fell " His words died away in a whisper, and his eyelids drooped. Sister Sexberga turned again to seek her restorative. Sister Wynfreda leaned over and shook him. "Answer me, first. Where is your master? And young Fridtjof? And your mistress?" He shrank from her touch with a gasp of pain. "Dead," he muttered.
The Danish page bent to pillow a very red cheek on the soft cushion of the dog's head, then drew back and straightened himself stiffly as a strapping serving-lass, flagon-laden, came out of the door behind him.

I of the 'Original Narrative of Early American History', edited by J. F. Jameson; Fridtjof Nansen's 'In Northern Mists'; and John Fiske's 'The Discovery of America'. A number of general histories have chapters bearing on pre-Columbian discovery; the most accessible of these are: Justin Winsor's 'Narrative and Critical History of America'; Charlevoix's 'Histoire et description generale de la Nouvelle France' , translated with notes by J. G. Shea ; Henry Harrisse's 'Discovery of North America'; and the 'Conquest of Canada', by the author of 'Hochelaga'.
He put out his other hand with a gleam of pleasure in his changeful eyes. "Welcome to you, Fridtjof the Bold! I should like to believe that you are as glad to return to me as I am glad to receive you." As she stood there watching him, Randalin had been undergoing a strange transformation.
From many signs around the northern cap of the world a young Norwegian, Fridtjof Nansen, came to the conclusion that a constant current must flow from the neighbourhood of Behring Strait to the east coast of Greenland. Nansen resolved to make use of this current. Others had gone up from the Atlantic side and been driven back by the current.
The greatest care was necessary in our advance, for we had no inkling as to how thick or how thin the cover of snow might be. Our camp for this night was pitched in an extremely picturesque situation at an elevation of about 5,250 feet above sea level. The glacier was here hemmed in by two mountains which were named "Fridtjof Nansen" and "Don Pedro Christophersen," both 16,000 feet high.
