chap, xvin EKMAN BAY 251 



I should be sorry to end this report without once more 

 expressing my sense of the kind willingness with which 

 the leader of the Spitsbergen expedition allowed me thus 

 to do a little bit of personal exploration. Although I was 

 naturally disappointed at my failure to cross to Wijde Bay, 

 my account may, I hope, be useful to some future explor- 

 ing party ; for it is too dangerous a glacier to be attempted 

 single-handed. 



Not a little of the memory of a very happy time I owe 

 to the unfailing cheeriness and good fellowship, under often 

 dull conditions, of our artist H. E. Conway, my friend and 

 companion at the Flower-Garden.
