For five months they had struggled over the ice, when at the beginning of August they stood at the margin of the ice and had open water before them off the land. Now the sea voyage was to begin, and they had to part with their last two dogs. It was a bitter moment. Nansen took Johansen's dog and Johansen Nansen's, and a couple of bullets were the reward of their faithfulness.
"Oh, we're going to get that lunch back," announced Bob Henderson confidently. "Look here!" He pointed to some footprints in a bit of muddy ground. "Cadet shoes!" cried Tommy Tucker. "Jimminy Crickets, I'll bet it's that Marshall Morgan and his crowd!" "But this is a girl's shoe," protested Betty, pointing to another print. "See the narrow toe?" "Ada Nansen or Ruth Royal!" guessed Bobby quickly.
"Do you know my chum, Ada Nansen? She's from San Francisco." "Constance Howard is from the West, too the Presidio," said Bobby. Gracefully she introduced the others to Ada and Ruth who surveyed them indifferently. The Littell girls they knew were wealthy and had a place in Washington society, but the rest were not yet classified. "Haven't I seen you before?" Ada languidly questioned Betty.
Trembling in the thought that madness was threatening me, I tore open the first roll of paper. On it was written the name: "Solling." I caught at the second and opened it. There stood the word: "Nansen." I had just strength enough left to catch the third paper and open it there was my own name: "Simsen." Then I sank fainting to the floor.
Dr Nansen formed the bold design of carrying a ship under steam into one of the currents of the Far North, allowing it to freeze in, and then trusting to the polar drift to do the rest. The adventures of Nansen and his men in this enterprise are so well known as scarcely to need recital. In 1893 she sailed from Norway and made her way by the Kara Sea to the New Siberian Islands.
Norway is a small and a new country, inordinately, perhaps, but justly and gracefully proud of those an Ole Bull, a Frithjof Nansen, an Edvard Grieg who spread through the world evidences of its spiritual life.
Miller to the Nansen letter so that it might possibly be acceptable to the Soviet Government. I thereupon rewrote the Auchincloss-Miller letter, but I was forced to stick very closely to the text. I was told that I could cut things out if I wished to, but to stick very closely to the text, which I did. I drew this redraft of their letter, under protest at the whole business.
I was delighted to reach Westport. Any port at all would have been delightful after the terrible thrashing I got in the fierce sou'west rip, and to find myself among old schoolmates now was charming. It was the 13th of the month, and 13 is my lucky number a fact registered long before Dr. Nansen sailed in search of the north pole with his crew of thirteen.
I see be th' pa-aper that Doc Nansen stopped at Nootchinchoot Islands, an' saw Flora an' Fauna; an' thin, comin' back on th' ice, he encountherd thim again." "I suppose," said Mr. Dooley, "ye think Flora an' Fauna is two little Eskeemy girls at skip-rope an' 'London bridge is fallin' down' on th' icebergs an' glaziers. It's a pretty idee ye have iv th' life in thim parts.
It had queer white wings, and the wind blew on these wings and made the boat go! Kesshoo had been out in a kyak to see it. He had even paddled all round it. The men on the great boat had fair hair, and one of them, the chief man of all, had bought some of Kesshoo's skins and one of his dogs. The man was a great chief. His name was Nansen.
