The clothing is soak ing wet; the entire camping; outfit Is damp. The driftwood is sour and refuses to burn. Words cannot describe the soft blue tine of the Arctic sky that day Capt. Menander says. The trans parency of the atmosphere was most remarkable. As the mist was gradually dissolved by the rays of the sun, the far-away, majestic mountains, cold and inscrutable in their snowy beauty, appeared close at hand. The peaks were sharply silhouetted against the miraculous azure qf the sky, . There was an Immense stillness, no sound, not a breath of wind, and a great and peculiar charm rested iver the picture. In the Ar tie the air at sea level is-as In vigorating and bracing as in the mountains further south. One feels the Joy Of life to the full and revels In the pare atmosphere. Arctic lands are .far from deso late wilderness, and favorable lo calities are teeming with life dur ing the summer. r At the end of May the warm rays of the sun melt thfe snow and fee on the low lands and the ' beaches.
