was equal even to this difficult situation. She took her allowance, 

 went up to the dog, and put it down before his nose, as much as to

May 10. Our camp is now on the west side of the fjord, right 

 under a steep headland which the mate has named ' Cape With/

 in height, and nearly three miles long, with a serrated crest, and 

 steep cliffs sheer to the sea. Behind this, in a south-westerly

direction, rises a wild Alpine landscape, with high peaks and deep 

 breaches. From Cape Lockwood on the east side of Isfjeldodden 

 to this spot, the land is rather low, but from Cape With and south- 

 wards, on both sides of the fjord, there is high mountainous 

 country, with a few large valleys in between. Eight in front of 

 us lies East Cape, which forms a sharp division between the low 

 country northward and the mountainous country to the south. A 

 few miles south of this point a largish glacier runs straight into 

 the sea. It is about six miles wide, and rises at an even gradient 

 eastward as far as one can see. This is the first glacier we have 

 seen in here, but I hardly think it can have produced all the ice- 

 bergs which are lying about in the fjord, among which some are of 

 large size. Probably many are from the glaciers in Greely Fjord.
