terviewers that ‘not only was new ■

ed the fact that Caroen Land, re
ported by Amundsen, was not
land at all.
“The most peculiar atmospher
ic conditions prevail in the Ant
arctic day light. You can t see
with any accuracy and one might
fall into a crevasse, walking right '
into it without seeing it. One of j
our men mistook a shoe, lying j
about 10 feet away, for a seal.
“There is no visible horizon;
everything is distorted; there are j
no bugs in the water, it is so ster
ile. The doctor could use it as it
was without fear of infection.'
When asked what he missed
the most he said “he missed the
1 ladies an awful lot.” He smiled as |
he spoke, then added seriously: I j
suess we missed ordinary sounds
of civilized life more than any
thing else. We had only one rule j
in Little America; no matter how
much we hated it, we had to get
up in the morning."

plans for the future saying he had
enough scientific data still to be
fathered in the Antarctic to jus
ify another expedition and that
he would not oject to leading
another party.
