Ada Nansen and her friends had elected to go to Edentown, and passed the nutting party on the way. Betty took one glance into the bus and then looked at Bobby. That young person promptly giggled. "Did you see what I saw?" she asked. "Poor Ada!" said Betty. "She does have troubles of her own!"
"I'll try my best," promised Bobby solemnly. "I never mean to do a thing, Betty. Trouble is, I think afterward. I did want to go to Edentown to-day, too, but Libbie and Frances have promised to get the wool for my sweater. Want to come down to the gym? I'm going to drill my squad this morning." In the gymnasium they found Ada Nansen, also in charge of a squad.
But like the gap that separated Nansen from the geographical pole, it is a very hard road to travel. How to compass it will be the study of all the low-temperature explorers in the immediate future. Who will first reach it, and when, and how, are questions for the future to decide. And when the goal is reached, what will be revealed?
Nansen is in my judgment the incarnation of the spirit of the League, and his work, immensely successful, restored to their homes some 350,000 persons, and he did it for less money than he originally estimated it would cost. Do not put me down as a facile optimist in this matter.
"You're not the little waitress Oh, how stupid of me! I was thinking of a girl who looked enough like you to be your sister." Bobby bristled indignantly, but Betty struggled with laughter. "I remember you," she said clearly. "You had the wrong seat on the train from Oklahoma." Ada Nansen glanced at her with positive dislike. "I don't recall," she said icily.
Nansen, in which I embodied a peace proposal so that it would have meant a peace conference via Nansen, which was what was desired. Senator BRANDEGEE. Was that letter delivered to Nansen? Mr. BULLITT. No. I gave this reply of mine to Col. House. Col.
NANSEN used big words about Norway, and big words against Sweden, and in the presence of several thousand persons, a memorial wreath was laid as on several previous years on a Colonel KREBS' grave; during the short strife between Sweden and Norway in 1814, the man had succeeded in repulsing a Swedish regiment! These imposing preparations were followed by the decision of the Storthing.
Jahn found growing in his heart, at this age, an inextinguishable feeling for right and wrong which later he thought the cause of all his inner weal and outer woe. When Nansen was in his teens he spent weeks at a time alone in the forest, full of longings, courage, altruism, wanted to get away from every one and live like Crusoe.
To those who have well learned the art of reading, what inexhaustible delights does the world of books contain! With Milton, "to behold the bright countenance of truth, in the quiet and still air of delightful studies;" to journey through far countries with Marco Polo; to steer across an unknown sea with Columbus, or to brave the dangers of the frozen ocean with Nansen or Dr.
As they were strolling round Johansen called out, "Hullo, the kayaks are adrift." They ran down. The wind was blowing off the land. Out on the fiord all they possessed in the world was being mercilessly carried away. "Take my watch," cried Nansen, and throwing off a few clothes he jumped into the ice-cold water, and swam after the kayaks.
