 supper by taking them from a net. The second day they spent in

 which lie off this part of the coast, there was nothing to do but 

 keep on in spite of the ice and a very dark night. There followed a 

 very exciting three hours. After supper the wind had come up strong 

 from the S and we raced to see if we could get clear of the islands be-
