He hasno doubt whatever about the ex istence of the current upon which be de- fiends to carry him across the polar wastes. e says there is enough evidence in favor of his theory to satisfy him of the existence of such a current. it may be said that most Arctic authorities who have carefully studied his evidence agree With him that there seems very strong reason for believ- 521: that rim pat-Jar current he desires to Bhght' to be able ”t6 figs-p {1;}; $90,000, of which nearly $60,000 was voted by the N orwe 'an Stat-thing.

Expeditions are sent north not to reach the northern apex of the world, but to make investigations within the polar area. On this point Dr. Nansen says : “I cannot say that I am setting out to get to the ole. I should like that point to be clear y understood. My purpose is to cross the polar regions in order to make scientific investigations. If we get to the pole so much the better. If we 0 not then it cannot be helped. Our purpose is a purely scientific oneâ€"to cross the polar regions to make scientific investi- gations.” If by any combination of circumstances the Fram should be crushed, the Doctor says, “We shall take to the ice in our twc large boats. The Hansa crew in 1869-70, lived nine months on the ice, and in 1777 Dutch Whalers drifted on the Ice for a great distance along the east coast of Green- land. It was not the ice that brought dis- aster upon the Whalers, but the fact that their provisions gave out. We shall have provisions for five or six years, and if neces- sary we can travel on the ice. You see, therefore, that even if we lost our ship we should not be quite done for. We should still be able to drift with tla ice toward the cosat of Greenland.” Embalmeir. @- Best of Testimonials can be given I THE STRUCTURE OF THE HULL. The Fram is the name of Nansen’s vessel. The word means “forward.” The Doctor says that her power of resistance to a crush of ice is much greater than the force which would be needed to lift her on the ice, and he expects that ice fioes strong enough to crush her will merely lift her out of danger. There is nothing new about the U shape of her hull. It is only a case of the U shape being developed a little more than usual. Nansen says that Whalers built in this way have been lifted upon the ice, although they had been built with the disadvantage of having to find room for cargo. As the Fram will take no cargo except the necessary sup- plies for the voyage, she will be more easily lifted.

He regards the fact that he has no base of supplies to fall back upon as a positive advantage. “If you have no base to go back upon,” he says, “you must go for- ward whatever the difficulties‘. Without a retreat it means do or die. It is go for- ward or go. nowhere. I believe that one great reason why my expedition across Greenland was successful was because I had no retreat. In this large expedition the venture i worth the risk.
