Henson and the Eskimos also appeared to be a bit stale, so that it seemed wise to make a single march here instead of the usual double march. Even before we broke camp the ice began to crack and groan all about the igloo. Close by the camp a lead opened as we set out, and in order to get across it we were obliged to use an ice-cake ferry. 48', we found three igloos where Marvin and Bartlett had been delayed by wide leads, now frozen over. |
