366 APPENDIX I 



On the main-deck right aft we now find a space arranged on 

 each side of the well for the propeller and rudder; the lower part 

 of this space is occupied by two tanks for lamp-oil, and above the 

 tanks is a thin partition, which forms the floor of two small sail- 

 rooms, with hatches to the deck above. Around the mizzenmast 

 is the after-saloon, with eight cabins leading out of it. From the 

 forward end of the after-saloon two passages lead to the large 

 workroom amidships. These passages run past what were for- 

 merly coal-bunkers, but are now arranged as cabins, intended only 

 to be used in milder climates, as they are not provided with any 

 special insulation. From the port passage a door leads to the 

 engine-room companion. In the after-part of the large workroom 

 is the galley. This room is entirely hned with zinc, both on walls 

 and ceiling (on account of the danger of fire), while the deck is 

 covered with lead, on which tiles are laid in cement. Forward of 

 the galley is the main hatch, and two large water- tanks are fitted 

 here, one on each side. The remainder of the workroom affords 

 space for carpenter's benches, turning-lathes, a forge, vices, etc. 

 From the workroom two doors lead into the fore-saloon with its 

 adjoining cabins. Amundsen's cabin is the farthest forward on the 

 starboard side, and communicates with an instrument-room. From 

 the fore-saloon a door leads out forward, past a sixth cabin. 



In the space forward on the main-deck we have the fore-hatch, 

 and by the side of this a room entirely lined with zinc plates, 

 which serves for storing furs. Forward of the fur store is fitted a 

 15 horse-power one-cylinder Bolinder motor for working the cap- 

 stan; the main features of its working will be seen in the drawing. 

 There are two independent transmissions: by belt and by chain. 

 The former is usually employed. The chain transmission was pro- 

 vided as a reserve, since it was feared that belt-driving might 

 prove unserviceable in a cold climate. This fear, however, has 

 hitherto been ungrounded. 



Forward of the motor there is a large iron tank to supply water 

 for cooling it. In the same space are chain-pipes to the locker
