MikkelsenTells of His Tra- vels rrels In Greenland, The perils of travel over the ice cap of Greenland are often - men- tioned in "Lost in the Arctic," by Capt . E juar' Mikkelsen; .Whenever he and. his companions made a sledge journey, they met again and again. with unooxnfort�ably narrow escapes. - Often the treacherous snow collapsed beneath' ,their feet, and left them. gasping on the, edge of a deep .foe fissure. Some of the snow bridges over• wide crevasses are safe ;;' others suddenly and un- expectedly break. Naturally it was not pleasant to crawl out on these bridges to<test their strength before. sending the dog team over. But it had to be done,. Captain Mikkelsen' tells the story of one such crossing: I pull myself together, tie a, rope round my waist, and give Iverson. the other end, Ile:site down ea the edge of the. crevice, with his feet braced hard against the solid snow, and bangs on to the rope, while I creep out, slowly and cautiously, distributing my weight over. `as large an area as possible. Every time I drive the ice 'spear I can hear the hollow sound beneath me; it means a. fall. of perhaps a thousand feet if'' the anew gives way. - If the bridge holds:.' up to the middle,'' we reek -en that it is :safe, and if it bears - me as I walk', we reckon that we can take the sledges over. • Slowly' and eauatiowsly I. -get up,: stand .'a moment, balancing on my feet, and then back I go, while Iverson. ,hauls. in ,on the rope. I tread as-hdavily as I dare, azul try not to think about what will happen if it does. not bear. We get the sledges over, some- what_ to our surprise, ' We drive. over other fissures, and : growing bolder, cease to think of danger. There is, a very broad one ahead, which I get over all right with my sledge ; but just as I am- turning round to see how theothersledge is getting' on, I hear a shout from Iverson. As I look round, he is hanging down .halfway through the snow. of the bridge; a good ten feet of it has fallen away behind:hiiin. Ho clutches the sledge, which is still hanging over the abyss; but the dogs do not seem to notice any- thing; they simpler keep on pulling, and soon Iversonand the sledge are once' xndre on firm ground.
