We got over the heavy floe-ice, to find ourselves confronted with jagged, rough ice, where we had to pickax our way.
Commander Peary was in the lead setting the pace, and a half hour later the four boys and myself followed in single file. They had all gone before, and I was standing and pushing at the upstanders of my sledge, when the block of ice I was using as a support slipped from underneath my feet, and before I knew it the sledge was out of my grasp, and I was floundering in the water of the lead.
Systematically we had completed our preparations on the two days previous, so that, by six A. M. of the 1st of March, we were ready and standing at the upstanders of our sledges, awaiting the command "Forward! March!" Already, difficulties had commenced. The cold gets you in most any place, up there. I and my three boys were ordered to take the lead.
