Farthest north; being the record of a voyage of exploration of the ship "Fram" 1893-96, and of a fifteen months' sleigh journey by DrNansen and LieutJohansen . THE NEW YEAR, i8gs 85 certainly a little awkward at first, but that soon dis-appeared, and I think she will make a good dog whenshe is well trained. Susine, who was driven a littlelast autumn, conducted herself quite like an old sledge-. STOPPING A DOG-FIGHT dog. The surface is hard, and easy for the dogs to haulon. They get a good foothold, and the snow is notparticularly sharp for their feet; however, it is not over-smooth ; this drift-snow makes heavy going. The ice issmooth, and easy to run on, and I trust we shall be ableto make good day-journeys; after all, we shall reach ourdestination sooner than we had expected. I cannot denythat it is a long journey, and scarcely any one has evermore effectually burned his boats behind him. If we 86 FAR THE SI NORTH wished to turn back we have absolutely nothing to returnto, not even a bare coast. It will be impossible to findthe ship, and before us lies the great unknown. Butthere is only one road, and that lies straight ahead, rightthrough, be it land or sea, be it smooth or rough, beit mere ice or ice and water. And I cannot but believethat we must get through, even if we should meet withthe worst—viz., land and pack-ice. Wednesday, February 13th. The pemmican bolstersa
