314 THE VOYAGE OF THE " FRAM " 



By way of comparison a third curve is given from 

 the north-east trade, where there is an almost constant 

 breeze and fine weather. 



On this trip the fore-saloon was converted into a sail- 

 loft, where Ronne and Hansen carried on their work, 

 each in his watch. The after-saloon was used as a 

 common mess-room, as it is warmer, and the motion is 

 far less felt than forward.
