NORTH POLE OF THE WINDS 



the cooking utensils had been promptly brought 

 from Sarfanguak they would have reached us at 

 least a day earlier, and so the effective rescue may 

 be ascribed to the postscript of the message, which 

 message with its crude pictures Governor Bistrup 

 has today framed in his office. 



It was on the twenty-third of July, or little more 

 than a fortnight after our arrival on the Maligiak- 

 f jord that Oscanyan, our radio man, was able for 

 the first time to establish contact with the Mor- 

 rissey cruising in Baffin Bay. On the following 

 day messages were received in news dispatches 

 from the United Press Radio Station at Garden 

 City, Long Island. These summaries of the world's 

 news were read to us as we sat at breakfast next 

 morning, and from this time until the breakdown 

 of the Garden City plant late in the season, the 

 morning newspaper became a feature of our break- 

 fasts whenever we were in camp.
