Those who came back (and poor Barents was not among them, for he bad found a grave in the midst of his discoveries) told of their terrible sufferings In the long winter night. It was Euro lies first conception of the dismal darkness that enfolds the far north during the winter months. In 1871 the Norwegian Carlsen rounded the north end of Novaya Zemlla and saw that hut, 278 years after Barents had left It The roof had fallen in, but he dug out the snow and recovered some seventy articles that the explorers had left behind on their retreat. There stood the cooking pans over the fireplace, the old clock against the wall, the arms and tools, drinking vessels. Instruments and books. Most visitors to The Hague now go to the museum to see the Barents relics. But It was a king time before the nations gave up the Idea that it might in some seasons be easy sailing to the north pole and that, as like as not. It would prove to be really a fine route In good years to the Orient. So the British sent out Henry Hudson in 1607 in a wretched little craft of 80 tons, manned by twelve men and a boy. to find a passage across the pole to Japan and China. He skirted the pack ice far east to Greenland, but found no opening where he could enter It, and, bold sailor thongh he was, he would scarcely have dared to enter the ice, fifteen feet thick. If he had found an opening, for common sense told him that he would never get out of a boat. So again In his he went home. But he had made two great discoveries. and one of them was worth far egg-she- letters are there in tea P d lr than that of a mere condiment la th body, for it possessea solvent powers which, besides drawing out the flavor of food, facilitate the absorption more particularly of prutelds sad thus Increase tc, ,ue metalbollsm.
