CHAPTER Till.
EXCURSION TO THE NORTH OF VICTORIA
BAT.
At sunrise on the next day Olawbonny
climbed the side of the well of rocks
against which Doctor’s House rested. It
ended abruptly in a sort of truncated
cone.
The Doctor reached its summit—not
without difficulty, however— and from
that elevation his gaze wandered over a
vast extent of broken ground, which
•earned to be the result of some volcanic
disturbance. Land and sea were covered
with an immense white ourtein, so that
one oould not be distieguished from the
other.
Ashe appreciated the feet that this
height on whioh he stood commanded a
view of the surrounding plains, the Doc
tor wee possessed of an idee whioh would
not have surprised those who knew him.
This idea he turoed over in his mind,
and combined and developed to his satis
faction. By the time be had returned to
the house ho had -thoroughly mastered it,
and he commuuioated his plan to his
oompaniona.
“The idea has occurred to me," he said,
“to erect a light-house on the top of this
oone whioh rises abovo our head*.”
“A lighthouse!”they exclaimed iu cho
rus.
“Yes, a light-house!" It will do double
servioe; ilrat, it will serve as a guide for
us at night when we return from our dis
tant excursions, and then it will light up
the plateau during our eight months
of winter."
“Huob an arrangement certainly would
boa uaesul thing," observed Altamont.
“But bow would you establish it there? ’
“With one of the lanterns of the Por
poise."
“True; but what will you use for oil
for the lamp? The oil of the seal ?"
“No, indeed! The light produced by
that oil would not be bright enough, for
it would scarcely pieroe the fog."
“Do you meau to say that you will ex
tract from our coal the hydrogen it con
tains aod use it as an illuminating gas?"
“A good idea! But that light also
would be insufficient; and then, too, there
is the bad featnro about it that we would
be consuming a portion of our fuel to
obtain it."
“Then," said Altamont, “I do not
NO. 66
“For my part," interrupted Johnson,
“since the ball of mercury, the ice lens
and the building of Fort Providence, I
think Mr. Olawbonny can do anything!"
“Well, Doctor," continued Altamont,
“will yon now explain to ns what sort of
a ligbt-houae you expeot to put there ?"
“A very simple one—an oleotrio light
house."
“An electric light-house!"
“To be sure! Did you not leave an
eleotrical maohine in pefect condition on
board the Porpoise?"
“Yes," replied the Amorioan.
“It is dear that in bringing it with
you, you must had some purpose in view,
for nothing is lacking about it—neither
the perfectly isolated couduoting wires,
nor the acids necessary to put the ele
ments into activity. It is easy for us,
therefore, to obtain an eleotrio light. We
will sae better with it, and it will cost
nothing."
“The idea is a splendid one!" exdaito
ad the boatswain, “and the leu time we
lose—”
“Well, the materials are ready,” replied
the Dootor, “and in one hour wo oau erect
a column of ice ten feet high, which will
ba all that is needed."
The Dootor went out, followed by his
companions, and the whole party retired
to the summit of the oone. The ice col
umn was soon raised, and it was thou
erownad with one of ths lanterns of the
Porpoise-
Then the Dootor arranged the conduct
ing wires, whioh were attached to the
battery. The latter, plaoed in the sitting
room of the house, was preserved from
the influence of thaooldby the heat of
the stoves. From there the wires ascend
ed to the lantern of the light-house.
All these preparations were made rapid
ly, and the party awaited the coming on
of night to enjoy the effect When the
1 bob want down the two charcoal points,
fixed in the lantern at a proper distanee,
were brought within a short distance of
each other, end the rays of an intense
light, which the wind oonld neither mod-
arete nor extinguish, radiated from the
lantern. The epeoteole of these brilliant
“VVe must do a lit-tlo of every tiling,"
modestly replied the Doctor.
The cold put au end to the general ad
miration, and each oue went to tuke ref-
ngo under his bed-ololhes.
The mode of life of the wrecked mou
ih now regularly organized. During
the following days, from April 15th to the
"Olh, tho weather was very uncertain;
tho temperature rose suddenly twenty de
grees. and the atmosphere was subjected
to sudden changes—now tilled with enow
and agitated by tempests, now dry and
cold to so great a dcgree 4 tbat tho mon
could not go outside the house without
taking precautions.
$ *On Saturday, however, tho wind lulled,
and this fact made an excursion possible.
They resolved, there fore, to devote one
day to hunting, iu order to renew the pro-
visiona.
Early in the morning Altamont, the
Doctor and Boll, each one armed with a
double-barrelled gun and provided with
enough ammunition, and with a hatchet
apiece, and abo an ice knife, in oase it
bhonid be necessary for them to prepare a
shelter for themselves, left the honse.
•While they were absent, Hatteras was
to reconnoitre the coast and make some
observations. The Dootor carefully put his
light-house in operation. Ita rays ehone
to advantage by contrast with those of the
radiant orb; in fact tho eleotrio light,
equalling that of 3,000 wax candles, or
of 300 gas jets, is the only light which
which can bear comparison with that of
tho sun.
The cold was keen and dry, but the air
was calm. The hunters directed their
steps toward Gape Washington, and their
walking was made more easy by the hard
ened snow. In a half hour they had
passed over the three miles which lay be
tween the capo and Fort Providence. Duke
gambolled around them.
Tho coast infleoted toward the east and
tho high summits of Victoria Bay gradu
ally became lower in the direction of the
north. This gave rise to the supposition
that perhaps New America was only an
island; but at this time the travelers had
nothing to do with determining its config
uration.
The hunters followed the ooast and ad
vanced rapidly. No sign of habitation,
no remains of a hut met their eyes. They
.were treading on a soil virgin of any hu
man step.
During the first three hours they walk
ed about fifteen miles, eating while on
the march; bnt their hunt seemed to
promise fruitless results. In feet they
scarcoly saw a sign of a hare, a fox, or a
wolf. Still a few snow-birds llyiug here
and there proclaimed the return of spring
and of tho animals of the Arotio regions.
The throe companions were compelled
to go iuland to tnrn the deep ravines and
steep rocks which formed a part of
Mount Boll; but, aftor some delays, they
suooeoded in reaching the shore again.
The ice-field seaward was still unbroken
but the signs of seals announced the first
visits of these amphibious animals, whioh
had already come to tho surface of the ice
to breathe. It was also evident, to judgo
by tho largo imprints of thoir bodies and
the freshly broken cakes of ice, that rot-
oral of them had only reoently como
ashore.
These animals arc very eager to bask in
tho rays of tho sun and they seek the
shore to stretch themselves on it so that
tho welcome heat may penetrate them.
The Doctor called the attention of his
companions to the facta that have just
boon described.
“Lot ns carefully noto this placo," he
said. “It ip very possible that when
summer shall have come we will find
seals here by the hundred. On coasts
little frequented by men they may be ap
proached and oapturod with ease, but
great caro must be taken not to frighten
them, for then they disappear as if by
enohantment and nevor return. It is
thus that unskilful seal hunters, instead
of killing them one by one, often attack
them in n mass, with noise and exclama
tions, and so lose them entirely or lessen
thoir catch.”
Aro they hunted only for their skin or
their oil ?" asked Bell.
“That is why Europeans hunt them,but
faith, tlio Esquimaux eat them. They
live off them, but tho pioces of the seal
meat which they mix with the animals'
blood and grease, have nothing appetizing
in them. After all there is a way of im
proving this meat, and I promioo to cook
some seal cutlets of a very fair quality,
provided you will overlook their blackish
color." ^
“We shall sea you at the work of pre
paring thorn for tho table,” said Bell.
“I confidently engago myself to oat as
much seal-flesh as will please you. You
hear me, Mr. Claw bonny?”
“My good Bell, you moan as much as
will please you. But however good may
be your appetite, you will never equal the
voracity of tho Greenlanders, who daily
eat from ten to fifteen pounds of this
meat.”
“Fifteen pounds!" exclaimed Bell.
“What stomachs they must have!"
“Polar stomachs,” replied tho Dootor;
“stomachs that distend at will, and, I
may add, which contract as easily, ren
dering their possessors capable of sup
porting famine as well as abundance.
When tho Esquimaux begins to eat Ills
dinner he is thin; at its conclusion he is
fat, and he can no longer be recognizod !
It is true tb it bis dinuor lasts a whole
day some times.’
“This voracity,” said Altamont, “i»
evidently peculiar to the inhabitant* of
cold regions ?"
“I believe it is," replied the Doctor.
• “In the Arctic regions a large quantity of
food is required. Not only does strength
depend on it, but life itself. For this
imva warn .wonderful on® « their light, ! reaabn does the Hadson I3.yCoa.panj

MfhboriBg heights. Johnson could not j or two of poinmican, dsily.
halp lapping his hand, togetbsr. I “That la a strengthening diet, indeed!"
“Here is Mr. Cl.wb.nny meking . eon j exclaimed Bell^ § ^ ^ * wUt „ gtej „ Mch CO nld not haveir
friend; and au Iudiau gorged after this
fashion, does uot do more work than an
Englishman would with his pound of
meat and pint of ale."
“Then Mr. Clawbouny, everything is
for the best."
“Undoubtedly; but yet au Esquimau
meal may well astonish ns. Thus, at
Boothia Land, while wintering there, Sir
John Boss was constantly surprised at
the voraciousness of his guidos. Some
where in his narrative he relates that two
men—two, rocolloct — during a single
morning devoured an entire quarter of
beef. They cut the beef in long slices
which they introduced into their throats.
Then each oue cutting off, at tho nose,
the portion that his mouth could not con
tain, passed it to his companion; or else,
these gluttons, allowing tho ribbons of
meat to hang to ground, swallowed them
by degrees, as a boa constrictor swallows
an ox, and, liko tho snake, stretched their
full length on the ground !"
“Phew!" exclaimed Bell; “the dis
gusting brutes!"
“Everybody 1ih* his own way of dining,"
remarked tho American, philosophically.
“Fortunately,” returned tho Doctor.
“ Well I" continued Altamont,
“since the necessity of having proper
nourishment in thqso latitudes is so great
I am astonished no longer that iu the
narrativeR of Arctic travellers there is al
ways something about eating."
“You are right,” replied the Doctor;
and that is a remark that I have made
mysolf. The cause of this is that not
only is an obundauco of food required,
but also that it is often very difficult to
procure it. For that reason they aro all
tho time thinking of it, and, in conse
quence, aro forever talking of it."
“And yot,” said Altamont, “if my mem
ory serves mo right, in Norway, in the
coldest countries, the poasants do not
need so substantial a meal. A little milk,
eggs, birch Imrk bread, salmon sometimes
and meat never, compose their food; and
they aro not the less solidly built for this
fare."
“That is a matter of organization whioh
Fwon’t attempt to*explain," said the Doc
tor. “But I think, at the same time,that
if a colony of Norwegians should take up
their residence in Greenland their poster
ity of the second or third generation in
the latter country would adopt the Green
land fare. And even we ourselves, my
friends, if we should remain in this fortu
nate lund, would finally come to live as
the Esquimaux do—not to Say like arraut
gluttons."
“Mr. Clawbouny makes me hungry
when he speaks in that way," said Bell.
“Faith, no," observed Johnson. “That
would disgust mo and would lead me to
look with horror on seal-flesh. Halloo!
I think we will be ablo soon to put our"
selves to the teat. Either I am much
mistaken or olso I see over yonder, lying
stretched ou the ice, a mass which seems
to me to have life in it!"
“It is a walrus!” exclaimed the Doo
tor. “Silence, and forward!"
Iu fact, an amphibious animal of tho
largest size was gambolling within two
hundrod yards of the hunters, stretched
on the ioe and voluptuously rolling about
in the palo rays of tho sun.
Tho threo hunters took different direc
tions so as to surround the walrus and
out off its rotroat. In this way they roached
to within a few feet of it, hiding behind
hummocks, nml fired.
The walrus fell hack still full of vigor,
crushing the ice and endeavoring to es
cape; but Altaniout, dealing it blows with
his hatchet, succeeded in cutting off its
dorsal fins. The walrus made a desper
ate resistance, bnt additional shots were
fired into it which ended its life, aryl it
lay stretched motionless on the ice-field,
which was reddened with its blood.
It was full grown and measured nearly
nine feet in length from its snout to tbo
end of its tail, and it certainly would
have furnished several barrels of oil.
Tho Doctor cat away tho most aavory
parts, and tho carcass was left to tLe
mercy of a few crows which, at this sea
son of the year, were already flying about
in tho air.
Night was coming on. They began to
think of returning to Fort Providence.
The sky was now beautifully clear, and
until the rising of tho moon, tho night
was lightened by a magnificent starry
illumination.
“Lot us set out," said the Doctor, “as
it is getting late. Our hunt has not been
successful, to be sure; but when a ban
ter cornos back with his supper he has no
right to complain.* Now lot us take the
shortest route aud try not to go astray.
Tliore are the stars to point out tho way
to us."
In these regions where the north star
shines directly over one's head, it is not
easy to rely on it as a guide; in fact when
the north is exactly abovo one in tho
heavenly vault the other cardinal points
of the compass are difficult to determine.
However, tbo moon and the great constel
lations enabled tho Doctor to fix tbe
route.
Iu order to shorten the way he deter
mined to avoid tho curves of tho coast
aud out across tho land. This was a more
direct but less sure route. The result
was that after a few hours’ march the lit
tle tronpo had completely lost their way.
They discussed tho propriety of pass
ing the night in a hut of ice, with the
view of resting themselves there aud of
setting out on their journey in the morn
ing, even though they should have to re
torn to the ooast so as to follow the ioe-
field; but for fear of exoiting Johnson 1
and Hatteras's jmxiety, the Doctor insist
ed that the maroh should be con tin nod.
""“Duke guides ns," he said, “and Duke
cannot be misled. He is gifted with an
instinct whioh enables him to dispense
with a compass and a star. Let ns follow
him."
Duke walked in front and they trusted
to his intelligence. Their confidence was
not misplaced, for soon a light appoarod
on tho horizon; it conld not bo confound*
they
sued from the fogs, lying as low
did.
“There is our light-house!" exclaimed
the Dootor.
“You thiuk so, Mr. 4 Clawbonny ?" Raid
the ^arpouter.
“1 am certain ! Let us on !"
An the travellers approached the source
of tbo glow tbo light became more in
tense, and soon they wore enveloped in a
track of luminous dust. They walked in
au immense ray, aud behind them their
gigantio shadows, clearly outlined,
lengthened themselves inordinately on
the icy waste.
They hastened their stops and a half
hour later they were treading the ram
part of Fort Providence.

how, history .can tell. And now we are
still unwilliug to be slaves. Born free as
the eagle in his mountain home, we only
ask equal rights. As to Mr. Riddle, be
seems to be a perfeot gentleinau, was a
member of Morgan’s oommand, and after
oroeaing tho river at Bradenbuig, his na
tive home, was eaptured, carried to Alton,
steeped, and made his way West, was
hunted down by Jthe Union men of tho
frontier, and waa compelled to seoroto
himself in a oave for three months. Dur
ing that long night of imprisonment he
was f«} by bis now devoted wife Princess
Toby. Naturally a mutual attachment
■prang up, whioh ouliuinated in her being
Mrs. Riddle. He aeemH to bo aa proud
