Later, when Bartlett's division alone was in the lead, there was only one igloo already built at each camp on the line of march.
The day twilight, which now lasted about twelve hours, had disappeared entirely by the time the last sledge reached this first camp.

It had been a trying day for the sledges.

The new "Peary" type, by reason of its shape and greater length, had come off best.

Though two of these had suffered minor damages, none of them had been put out of commission.

Two of the old Eskimo type had been smashed completely, and another nearly so.
The dogs were soon fed, and each division went for supper and rest to its own igloo, leaving the rugged surface of the ice to the darkness, and the howling wind and drift.
