THE DANISH EAST GREENLAND EXPEDITION IN 1900.
CAPE CHRISTIANSEN, 67° 13' N. LAT.

channels between them. On July 10 we got the first glimpse of the
coast, and on the 11th, at two o’clock in the morning, we anchored at
Griper Road, on Sabine island. We examined Sabine island, and found
a fine collection of fossils. The depot for Sverdrup erected by
Nathorst in 1899 was found in good condition. In a cairn next to the
depot I left a record, informing Sverdrup that the Antarctic would stay

supp!y of ammunition, in case we should be obliged to winter on the
coast. All the outfit was as light as possible, in order that we might
be able to haul the boat over the ice without difficulty. All the pro
visions were stowed in boxes, in such a manner that they could not sink
if the boat should be crushed in the ice. But we were always in luck’s

500 miles in the boat. My task was done; but, in addition, I also
