There were no bears to menace the lives of the explorers nor any other quadruped, There was po game of any sort to he met with, and ail food for men and dogs had to be carried on the sledges.. The surface of the Ize was much crevgesed, especially Dear the western land, blizzards fre- quently making travelling impossible . The sledges had to be nvoved by re- lays, making # nece sary to traverse three miles for eve:y mile of die tance covered to the south. The dogs weakened and had to be killed, one by one. On Décember 300k they were 82 degrees and 17 minutes south and Captain Scot determined to try to reach the mountains to the west. ; Great peaks in cighty-three degrees wer: named Mount Markham and Mount ' Longstaff.
