Report on the Danmark expedition to tlie north-east coast. 239 



"One single thing we survivors could do for our dead comrades 

 — we placed stone upon stone in remembrance of the three men, until 

 there stood a memorial on the slope near Danmarks Havn. 



The cross points to the sky and looks towards the north where 

 our three comrades rest in everlasting sleep. 



It stands out clear against the sky as a visible sign of our sorrow 

 and admiration of their deeds. 



There is no inscription on the column. It has been erected by 

 the Danmark Expedition in memory of Mylius-Erichsen, Hagen 

 and Brønlund who perished in their struggle to gain new land for 

 Denmark. 



Honoured is the memory of these men among their comrades 

 and honoured will it be in our beloved fatherland, which sent them 

 out and to which their last thoughts were devoted".
