14363_ February 10._? 16 m. We made a very good forenoon march from 10 to 2.45 towards the Cloudmaker. 14363 All ready? 14363 Amputation is the least I can hope for now, but will the trouble spread? 14363 And my own white beard? 14363 And so he went to Oates and asked him,If I go away at the end of this year, will Captain Scott disinherit me?"

14363Scott said to me quietly--''I am afraid it''s a bad business for us-- What do you think?''

14363Scott''s amazed remark when he saw our sledges two hours ago,"Bill, why are you taking all this oil?"
14363Shall we get there?
14363So then I said,''Why not take Browning, as I''m doing?''
14363Some will tell you that you are mad, and nearly all will say,"What is the use?"

14363To what extent can hard work, or what may be called dramatic imagination, provide a substitute?
14363Twice the day before this had happened, but this time for a moment I thought,''Where will my head strike?''
14363Was it due not only to the men and their relatives, but also to the expedition, to ascertain their fate if possible?
14363We are very merry-- and indeed why not?
14363We suggested a change, to which Campbell asked,"Why?"
14363We were bagging pemmican in the hut when some one said,"Can you smell burning?"
14363Weaken so much that in the end they starved to death?

14363When shall we come to an end of this pressure?
14363When was it to be done with the greatest possible chance of success?

14363Would Campbell winter where he was?
14363Would he try to sledge down the coast?
14363Would it float away before we got there?
14363Would n''t_ you_?
14363Would the penguins be there?
14363and X''s blue eyes: for he started from England with brown ones and his mother refused to own him when he came back?

4229Ah, but how do you know they have it as cold as this? 4229 All ready?
4229And what about the Pole? 4229 Are you going to look at the Fram?"
4229But look here,cried an impatient voice:"are n''t we going to have Borghild Bryhn to- night?"
4229But,I ventured to object,"are you sure it is as strong as the others?"
4229Do you hear that noise? 4229 Doubt?
4229Had you any special object?
4229He ca n''t be taking anything but air now, can he?

4229--"What does the crevasse look like?"
4229--"What sort of handles?"
4229--"What''s it like outside?"
4229A high, perpendicular face of ice, up which we should have to haul our things laboriously with the help of tackles?
4229A last look behind me:"All ready?"
4229And Lindström?
4229And evidently they must have had enough food, but where on earth had they got it from?
4229And if it came to that, would any of them survive the voyage round the formidable promontory?
4229And if so, under what conditions?
4229And why not?
4229And why?
4229And yet even to- day we hear people ask in surprise: What is the use of these voyages of exploration?
4229And yet, I wonder whether there was not a little feeling of melancholy in the midst of all our joy?
4229And, after all, whose fault was it?
4229As we stood there, afraid to begin, one of us-- it must have been Lindström, or Hanssen perhaps, or was it myself?
4229At Hassel''s?
4229At last it slipped out of Gjertsen:"Have you been there?"
4229At least two hours might be saved, I had no doubt of that-- but how?
4229Besides, were there not dogs enough, and good dogs too, in Alaska?
4229But how long should we have to wait for clear weather?
4229But now we snapped our fingers at the weather; what difference did it make to us if the wind howled in the guy- ropes and the snow drifted?
4229But the circumstances we were now in were not normal-- or was it, perhaps, myself who was not normal?
4229But there, in the opposite direction, what was there?
4229But wait: what is that?
4229But was it so?
4229But what does the dazzling day to the south conceal?
4229But what had become of Hassel?
4229But what in the world had become of Captain Larsen and the Antarctic?
4229But what was that?
4229But why had he brought in eight-- two enormous dishes with four on each?
4229Can anyone be surprised if one gets fond of such a ship?
4229Can anyone be surprised that we called it the Devil''s Glacier?
4229Can anyone grasp what such an offer meant at such a spot, made to a man who, to tell the truth, is very fond of a smoke after meals?
4229Can anyone who reads these lines form an idea of the effect this had upon us?
4229Can anything more inexplicable be imagined?
4229Can anything more topsy- turvy be imagined?
4229Can it be that the dog has not understood his master?
4229Could it be true?
4229Could that great white, unbroken plain over there be real, or was it only an illusion?
4229Did n''t you get sick of all those dogs?
4229Did you hurt yourself?
4229Do these animals possess a power of communicating with each other?
4229Do you know what it was?
4229Do you know what it was?
4229Does the glacier go smoothly on into the plateau, or is it broken up and impassable?
4229For what had happened only a few days before?
4229Hanssen did not take long to make up his mind, but what was the use?
4229Have you been there?"
4229Hot cakes?
4229How can one be in doubt about what one has heard with one''s own ears and seen with one''s own eyes?"
4229How did that moss come there?
4229How many would there be among us, who numbered nine?
4229How on earth did you manage to keep them alive?
4229How were we going to begin to bring order out of this chaos?
4229How, then, shall I describe our grief when, on the day we were to wear our beautiful sea- boots, we discovered that most of them were useless?
4229I could see that the passage was continued, but where did it lead?
4229I glance at the thermometer; it shows+50 ° F. But how can this be?
4229I squeeze in between the bundles of clothing, and what do I see?
4229I think it took about five minutes for the steam to disappear, and what did I see then?
4229I thought; ca n''t you see?
4229I understood, of course, that he saw something, but what?
4229I was really the only one to blame; why in the world had I not got away faster?
4229If he staked his life and abilities, would it not have been natural if we had been proud of having such a man to support?
4229In my diary I see that I conclude the day with the following words"What will the next surprise be, I wonder?"
4229Is it likely?
4229Is such a thing possible?
4229Is there no end to it?
4229It must be the Bay of Whales that we were looking down into, but what were those black things moving up and down?
4229It was no loss to us, as it happened; but who could tell which way these creatures had gone?
4229It was not without a certain feeling of suspense that we looked forward to our arrival at the harbour we were seeking What state should we find it in?
4229It was quite exciting to go up; what should we see at the top?
4229It will naturally be asked, What could be the cause of this?
4229Not till an hour later, when we had discussed all kinds of other things, did I enquire"Well, of course you have been at the South Pole?"
4229Now came the great question: What was there on the other side of the ridge?
4229Oh, Lindström, how long will this order last?
4229On account of the great geographical discoveries, the important scientific results?
4229One of the watch below, who had just come on deck, exclaimed:"What the devil is this beastly mess you fellows have got into?"
4229One often hears it asked, How is it possible to make the time pass on such a trip?
4229One often hears it asked, Which is to be preferred, severe heat or severe cold?
4229Or a great and dangerous fissure, which we should not be able to cross without going a long way round?
4229Or are they digging side by side on different lines?
4229Or is it the master who has not understood his dog?
4229Or would Nature present insurmountable difficulties?
4229Shall we meet again?
4229Shall we start?"
4229Should we go on?
4229Something extraordinary must await us farther on, but, what?
4229That was strange-- could all ten have gone down crevasses?
4229The formations appeared to promise it, and yet-- had we been so often deceived by these formations that we now refused to offer them a thought?
4229The light is so wonderful; what causes this strange glow?
4229The limestone is probably of older Palæozoic age(?
4229The question was, what would those two do when at last they had come up with their sledges?
4229Then comes Bjaaland; I wonder whether he is as smart at this game as he is on ski?
4229Then there was a hearty welcome home on all sides"Where''s the Fram?"
4229There had been five days of absolute calm; why should it not last out the week?
4229These looked very well, no doubt, freshly dyed as they were, but the question was, What would they look like after a couple of months''use?
4229They had the sun to go by, certainly, when they started, but who could say how long it would last?
4229Up on the Barrier all was absolutely still, and there was not a sign of life; indeed, what should anything live on?
4229Very strange, I thought; what can this be?
4229Was it possible that we were on our way down through the mountains again?
4229Was it possible?
4229Was it possibly instinct that told us this?
4229Was it the same desperate confusion, or would the ground offer better facilities?
4229Was it witchcraft?
4229Was n''t it he who was sent home from the Discovery after the first year?
4229Was there then any race to be first?
4229We knew that an enormous amount of weight could be saved, but how much?
4229We set traps, but what was the use of that, when the cargo consisted exclusively of provisions?
4229Were they going over to the other side?
4229What could this mean?
4229What did it mean?
4229What do you say to that?
4229What do you say to that?
4229What do you think of a bite of a mouth like that?"
4229What does he want to go out for again?
4229What does the end look like?
4229What good do they do us?
4229What in the world does that mean?
4229What in the world does the man mean?
4229What in the world was the meaning of this?
4229What in the world was this hall used for?
4229What is it that imposes this simultaneous stop?
4229What kind of country should we have to deal with?
4229What more can one wish?"
4229What on earth became of all these people?
4229What should we see when we got there?
4229What sort of a report would they bring of the result?
4229What was coming next?
4229What was it I had stumbled over?
4229What was it he talked about?
4229What was the object of taking all these dogs on board and transporting them all that long way?
4229What was the use of all these planks and boards?
4229What was to be done?
4229What wonder was it that this spot exercised a strong attraction upon each of us at the moment when we were to turn our backs upon it for good?
4229What would Steen say?
4229What would it be like when we had to get on to the plateau?
4229What would it be like?
4229What would it bring?
4229What would the result be, after marching blindly for so long and over such impossible ground, as we had been doing?
4229What would you do?
4229What, then, is the reason?
4229When I looked at this one, what do you think I saw?
4229When should we see those five again, who had just disappeared from view on the boundless plain, and in what conditions?
4229When we were going south, it certainly looked impassable between us and the mountains; but who could tell?
4229Where could he be?
4229Who cared to think of coming troubles?
4229Who could tell?
4229Who would have guessed that such splendid weather was to be found in these parts?
4229Why was the whole after- deck full of coal?
4229Why?
4229Will they meet?
4229Would it be unreasonable if those who have endured and achieved so much had now come home to rest?
4229Would it be vouchsafed to us to uphold this honourable tradition?
4229Would it continue in this boundless plain without hindrance of any kind?
4229Would it not have been much more convenient to take all that kind of goods on board in''Frisco?
4229Would it prove impossible to land at all conveniently?
4229Would not Fix take advantage of the occasion to assume the position of boss?
4229Would they soon be coming?
4229Would they turn and go home, or would they drive up to the starting- point?
4229Yes, circumstances work wonders; for I suppose one need not make Providence responsible for these trifles?
4229and do you want to know where I found it?
4229ca n''t you hear?
4229there was Lindström lying on his stomach up in the loft, and handing down through the trap- door-- what do you think?
4229what can they have meant by this howling?
19731After that?
19731Ai n''t that what you expected at the south pole?
19731All? 19731 And I guess we sort of fooled the professor,"went on Bill,"eh, Tom?"
19731And if the ship is damaged?
19731And so you figure there''s land down there to the south, do you?
19731And what are those brown spots moving about?
19731And what became of Detective Ducket?
19731And what do you think it was?
19731And what will we do when we get there?
19731And where are you goin''to head for?
19731And whereabouts are we?
19731And you have been there ever since?
19731Another fire?
19731Are any here?
19731Are we damaged?
19731Are we free?
19731Are we going to stay here?
19731Are we really going out in the water to dig?
19731Are we sailing through hot water?
19731Are we sinking?
19731Are ye really anarchists?
19731Are you going to free the ship?
19731Are you hurt?
19731But ca n''t we go out and kill them? 19731 But suppose we have to go up to renew our air supply?"
19731But the other boats?
19731But were the boys hurt?
19731But what can we do?
19731But what has happened?
19731But what sort of a ship have you?
19731But why do n''t we rise again when the ice floe slips off us?
19731Ca n''t we empty the tanks and rise to the surface?
19731Ca n''t we escape when the ice melts?
19731Ca n''t we ever get out?
19731Ca n''t we go out and fight''em?
19731Ca n''t we make an attempt to get out of this prison?
19731Ca n''t you swim?
19731Can you do it?
19731Can you jump down, or shall I come aboard and get you?
19731Can you see anything?
19731Can you see anything?
19731Did you catch it?
19731Did you count on them staying with you?
19731Did you see anything during your watch?
19731Do you mean those sea suckers?
19731Do you mean to say that all the reserve stock has been lost?
19731Do you mean to the coast or to us?
19731Do you remember the trip you made with me to the north pole?
19731Do you suppose this hole leads to the centre of the earth?
19731Do you think the ship will work, Professor?
19731Do you think there''ll be an emergency?
19731Do you want to go along as part of the crew?
19731Done what?
19731Electrocute them? 19731 English aristocrats?"
19731Had n''t you better sit down and rest a bit?
19731Has you got the bottle ob wine?
19731Have you found a hen house?
19731How are you going to do it?
19731How can you tell?
19731How do you mean?
19731How is that?
19731How is that?
19731How long before the explosion will take place?
19731How long can we live here without going to the surface after a fresh supply of air?
19731How will these do for dessert?
19731How you going to cook''em?
19731How''s it going, Mark?
19731How?
19731How?
19731I suppose you''ve got something very fine in there, Washington?
19731I wonder who he is, anyhow?
19731In the air?
19731Is it a tidal wave?
19731Is it safe?
19731Is she for sale?
19731Is the ship damaged?
19731Is the ship on fire?
19731Is there any danger?
19731Is there anything more I can do now?
19731Land under this ice do you mean?
19731Leaving?
19731Let me see,began the inventor as the adventurers sat about the supper table after the meal was finished,"who have the watches on deck to- night?"
19731Me? 19731 Me?
19731Me?
19731Near where?
19731Now that you''ve got her started, when are you goin''to put her in the water an''scoot along under the waves?
19731Of course it is; who did you think it was?
19731See anything? 19731 Shall we jump?"
19731Something startling?
19731Suppose the submarine is destroyed?
19731The Sargasso Sea?
19731The natives have possession of the boat, and how are we to regain her when there are so many of them?
19731The next question,began old Andy,"is how are we to get off?"
19731Then how did they get below?
19731Then what in the world are they doing?
19731Then what?
19731Then where is the danger?
19731Then you are going to blow it up?
19731Then you fear for the worst?
19731Well, what is it?
19731Well, what is the next move?
19731Well?
19731What are they?
19731What are they?
19731What are we to do now?
19731What are we to do?
19731What are you doing on deck in your night shirt?
19731What are you doing on deck?
19731What are you doing?
19731What are you going to do with Nellie and me?
19731What are you going to do?
19731What are you going to do?
19731What are you stopping for?
19731What are you talking about?
19731What are you trying to do?
19731What became of the crew?
19731What can I do for you?
19731What caused the fire?
19731What did I tell you?
19731What did you get down on your knees for?
19731What do you mean by firing on me?
19731What do you mean?
19731What do you mean?
19731What do you of us?
19731What do you want to go on ramming an object after you''ve once hit it? 19731 What does it mean?"
19731What for I want t''shoot''em? 19731 What for?"
19731What for?
19731What good will that do?
19731What happened?
19731What happened?
19731What has happened to the ship?
19731What has happened? 19731 What has happened?"
19731What has happened?
19731What is it? 19731 What is it?"
19731What is it?
19731What is it?

19731What is that?
19731What is the trouble?
19731What is?
19731What makes you think so?
19731What sort of an island is it that shoots you up in the air?
19731What sort of creatures are they?
19731What was it?
19731What will be the result?
19731What will they do with us when they get us where they want us?
19731What you doing?
19731What''s all this nonsense?
19731What''s that?
19731What''s the matter now I wonder?
19731What''s the matter? 19731 What''s the matter?
19731What''s the matter?

19731When are we going to have breakfast?
19731When did you see it first?
19731Where are we now?
19731Where will we end up?
19731Where''s that?
19731Where''s the valise of machinery?
19731Which way shall I steer?
19731Which will win?
19731Who has the two watches to- night?
19731Who is captain of this craft?
19731Who is it?
19731Who started the machinery?
19731Who''s dat?
19731Why did n''t you shoot some of''em?
19731Why do they want to shoot at us? 19731 Why not make a hole above so we can rise and escape?"
19731Why?
19731Will dey eat us up?
19731Will dey take us to a cave?
19731Will we have to stay here forever?
19731Will you take us along?
19731Ai n''t I in my bunk?"
19731Are we sinking?"
19731Are we sinking?"
19731Are you all ready, boys?"
19731Besides, how do I know these boys are anarchists?"
19731But am you boff dead?"
19731But would the shoes grip the wheels with force sufficient to stop the car?

19731CHAPTER XXX CONCLUSION Could they live to reach the surface?
19731Could he save his own life, to say nothing of that of the two boys?
19731Could he win?
19731Do n''t you want to accompany us?
19731Do you boys want to come along?"
19731Do you smell a storm brewing?"
19731Had his fight to save them been in vain?
19731He went over, looked at the thermometer, and then called to Washington:"Have you got the heat turned on?"
19731How did it happen?"
19731How do I know but what you''re a torpedo from some foreign nation?"
19731I wonder how some of those English aristocrats will like it?"
19731I wonder where I shall go next?"
19731Is that it?"
19731On deck?
19731Ram me with a new- fangled torpedo?"
19731S''pose I want''em t''git mad at me?"
19731THE SOUTH POLE-- CONCLUSION 240 UNDER THE OCEAN TO THE SOUTH POLE CHAPTER I WILL THE SHIP WORK?
19731The first thing Andy asked when his helmet was off, was:"Did I kill the beast?"
19731This thing must be stopped if it is a joke, and, if it isn''t--""Do you think it is some one playing tricks?"
19731WILL THE SHIP WORK?
19731What are you tryin''to do?"
19731What could it mean?
19731What do you all say?
19731What do you mean?"
19731What do you mean?"
19731What terrible catafterme hab occurred in dis unapproachable manner?"
19731What was it, anyhow?"
19731When is that paper dated?"
19731When they were out of earshot of the others Jack said:"What''s the matter with cooking some of the eggs that are left on the sand?
19731Where''d ye come from?"
19731Why do n''t you fill all the water tanks, and try to sink beneath the iceberg?
19731Would she ever stop?
19731Would the professor be able to raise her again?
19731Would the pumps work?
19731[ Illustration: A CURIOUS THRONG CROWDED TO THE RAIL OF THE WARSHIP.--_Page 28._]"What are you trying to do?
19731[ Illustration: THEY WERE IN THE MIDST OF A GRAVEYARD OF WRECKED SHIPS.--_Page 200._]"Has the experiment succeeded?"
6973''What are you going to do?'' 6973 A Jap, eh?"
6973A confession?
6973A dirigible and no small one,was the reply,"and you?"
6973A doodle- bug,exclaimed Professor Sandburr,"What kind of a bug is that?
6973A light--?
6973A polar bear skin?
6973A rival expedition?
6973A small stove; why, what do you want with that?
6973A string?
6973An electric what?
6973And be dashed to destruction as we reach it?
6973And if there should be no such thing in existence?
6973And if we refuse?
6973And that is?
6973And the ice has preserved it all intact?
6973Anybody got a match?
6973Are there any animals or sea- creatures there, do you know?
6973Are they in distress?
6973Are we g- g- g- g- going d- d- d- d- down?
6973Are we seriously damaged?
6973Are you at the bottom of the chasm?
6973Are you going to blow up the ship?
6973Are you hurt, professor?
6973Are you s- s- s- sure of t- t- t- this?
6973As late as that? 6973 B- b- b- b- boys, w- w- w- w- w- hat are we g- g- g- oing to d- d- d- do?"
6973Boys, where are you?
6973Boys, will you take me along when you go?
6973But how can they keep afloat?
6973But if they attack us?
6973But if we are being blown due south from here, where on earth will we fetch up?
6973But suppose you can not find such an animal?
6973But the South Polar pollywog is then only a theory?
6973But the crevasse, how are we to pass that?
6973But what good will that do us?
6973But where are the others? 6973 But, dear me,"he went on,"where is the professor?"
6973Can I go, too? 6973 Can we not chase them and rescue him?"
6973Can you see her?
6973Come on, let''s see what is the matter?
6973Did I?
6973Did n''t we give our word to the Captain not to mention a word about that?
6973Did they give you their position?
6973Did you get one?
6973Did you put the fire out when we left the camp?
6973Did you see it, too?
6973Do n''t understand what?
6973Do n''t what?
6973Do we?
6973Do you boys want to go?
6973Do you suppose the ship will make a search for us?
6973Do you think it is anything serious?
6973Do you think it is wise to go so far from the aeroplane?
6973Do you think it was self- administered?
6973Do you think they are the same band that kidnapped the professor?
6973Do you think we ought to tell the captain about what Professor Sandburr means to do?
6973Do you think we will be able to get off?
6973Do you think you can persuade the captain to let us go ashore with you?
6973Does that tally with your impression of it, Frank?
6973Dynamite the ice, you mean?
6973Exactly,said the professor gravely;"if you see one will you catch it for me?"
6973Experimenting-- what for?
6973Fo''de lub ob goodness, man, wha''s dat?
6973For how long did you watch it?
6973For instance--?
6973Has Professor Tapper ever been in the South Polar regions?
6973Have they seen us from the ships?
6973Have you any idea what time the explosion will take place?
6973Have you gone crazy?
6973Have you the latitude and longitude in which the whalers saw the frozen vessel?
6973Hiding there?
6973How about your friend that said that the Patagonians were a friendly race?
6973How are we ever going to get on the top of it?
6973How are you going to get them into the water?
6973How can we attract their attention?
6973How deep is that crevasse likely to be?
6973How did our government get wind of the fact that the Japs are getting ready another expedition?
6973How do you suppose he died?
6973How is that, my dear sea- faring friend?
6973How so?
6973How will that free us?
6973How would we pass the mountains?
6973How''s she headed?
6973Hullo, what''s happened to the professor now?
6973Hullo, what''s that?
6973I do n''t know that I ought to ask such a question-- but can you trust him?
6973I guess you are cured of penguin hunting?
6973I wonder if there are n''t some fish in those lakes?
6973I wonder if they have any dogs with them?
6973I wonder where the engineer is? 6973 I wonder why they attacked the camp?"
6973In that case we would sink?
6973In what manner has he been able to prove it?
6973Is everything ready?
6973Is n''t there danger of upsetting the aeroplane?
6973Is that little Jap known to you?
6973Is that so?
6973Is that you, Harry?
6973Is there any danger?
6973Laws a me Massa Frank, wha''kin''of man yo all tink dese yar darky am?
6973Might it not be some prehistoric sort of creature like the mammoths of the north pole or the dinosauras, or huge flying- lizard?
6973Mountains?
6973Nobody knows for certain, then?
6973Not likely,exclaimed Frank Chester, flinging down his wrench and passing his hand through a mop of curly hair;"what time is it?"
6973Now tell us what happened?
6973Oh that yellow- faced bit of soft- footed putty-- well, what about him?
6973Oh, professor-- Professor Sandburr, are you there?
6973Perfusser, is dem dar penguins good ter eat?
6973Perhaps hideous monsters?
6973Phew!--Would it not be better to tell them what we have done and take our chances?
6973Rastus, did you see a light in the sky there a second ago?
6973Ready?
6973Say, that sounds good, does n''t it? 6973 See what?"
6973Shall we go down, do you think?
6973Shall we have to go down?
6973Since you have become one of us in such a strange way, I presume you would like to know where we are bound for?
6973So,he said finally,"you think the ship may go down?"
6973Someone in there?
6973Sounds like a fairy tale, does n''t it?
6973Sure of what?
6973Tell us, Rastus, what it looked most like to you-- what did it resemble?
6973The Japanese one, you mean?
6973The charts do n''t show any land out there, do they?
6973The ship of Olaf, eh?
6973Then Professor Tapper is wrong?
6973Then it has appeared before?
6973Then it is not as high as this all the way round the polar regions?
6973Then somewhere down there along the Great Barrier there is a Viking ship full of ivory and gold, you believe?
6973Then what can we be on?
6973Then you think that Captain Hazzard does n''t know much about them?
6973Then you think that the Japanese expedition has landed?
6973Then you think---?
6973There''s no danger of an eruption, is there?
6973Think you know him?
6973Turn back?
6973W- w- what''s the matter?
6973Wall,said Ben, stubbornly,"what else could it have been?"
6973Was it for this that you wanted to have our aeroplane along?
6973Was it moving or standing still?
6973Was it stationary?
6973We need a bos''n, will you sign on? 6973 Well, answer us first: what are you doing here?"
6973Well, are you boys going to open that door?
6973Well, do n''t you think we had better abandon the ship and fly back to the camp?
6973Well, we do number one; do n''t we, Harry?
6973Well, young men, what have you got to say for yourselves?
6973Well,he repeated somewhat querulously,"do n''t you see it?"
6973Well?
6973Well?
6973Wha''me tramp, tramp, tramp roun''in dat dar ice and snow all de night time?
6973What are the poor critters, then-- females?
6973What are they?
6973What are we going to do for breakfast?
6973What are we to do for water?
6973What are we to do with these papers?
6973What are we to do?
6973What are you going to court about?
6973What are you going to do with the albatross, now that you have him?
6973What can be the matter?
6973What can have happened?
6973What can he be going to do?
6973What can it be?
6973What can it be?
6973What can it be?
6973What did you make it out for?
6973What do you mean, boy?
6973What does it mean?
6973What else could make such smoke?
6973What for?
6973What has become of it?
6973What has happened?
6973What have they got the dynamo going for?
6973What have you got there, Ben?
6973What if they chopped your head off?
6973What if we are being drawn by magnetic force toward the pole?
6973What in the world are you doing, now?
6973What in the world can it be?
6973What is it, another whale?
6973What is it? 6973 What is it?
6973What is it?
6973What is known about the location of the pole?
6973What is the nature of the country beyond?
6973What is your explanation of this sudden reversal of the wind?
6973What is?
6973What made it tackle you?
6973What on earth are you doing, Oyama?
6973What''s he sending?
6973What''s queer?
6973What''s that sticking above the snow hill yonder?
6973What''s that you said, Rastus?
6973What''s that, Ben?
6973What''s that?
6973What''s the matter with you fellows?
6973What''s the matter with you?
6973What''s the matter, Billy?
6973What''s the matter-- trouble?
6973What''s the matter?
6973What''s the matter?
6973What''s the matter?
6973What, are n''t you going to kill some of the birds?
6973What-- what-- what''s the matter with him do you suppose?
6973What?
6973What?
6973What?
6973Whatever are they?
6973Whatever are you doing?
6973Whatever are you going to do with that?
6973Whatever do you mean? 6973 Whatever do you think it is?"
6973Whatever for?
6973Whatever is going to happen?
6973Whatever is it?
6973Whatever is it?
6973Whatever is that caught to his coat tails?
6973Whatever is that?
6973Whatever is the matter?
6973When is it due?
6973Where away?
6973Where can the ship be?
6973Where did you first see the light?
6973Where?
6973Who, I?
6973Why did n''t you let go?
6973Why did n''t you shoot at it?
6973Why did you go?
6973Why do n''t they open the valve?
6973Why do n''t you come on board, professor?
6973Why do n''t you put him in your collection?
6973Why look here-- what do you make of that?
6973Why not?
6973Why, do you see that long wavering ray of light shooting up near the island,he cried, pointing in that direction,"what can it be?"
6973Why, the flea, the little insect I caught in the shaggy fur of the volcano monster?
6973Why, what else can it be?
6973Why, you do n''t mean that the creature is bold enough to attack us?
6973Why?
6973Why?
6973Will Captain Hazzard be there?
6973Will it hold?
6973Will you boys come down here for a minute? 6973 Would n''t you rather find a Viking ship filled with gold and ivory, and frozen in the ice for hundreds of years, than an old fur- bearing pollywog?"
6973Would take Billy along?
6973Yes, but whose is it? 6973 Yes, yes,"impatiently;"did you see one?"
6973Yes,was the astonished answer,"but what has that--?"
6973Yes; do you number any among your acquaintance?
6973You are friends of his?
6973You are quite sure you have not been fooled also on the fur- bearing pollywog?
6973You are quite sure?
6973You boys have all heard of the daring rovers who set out centuries ago in their ships to explore unknown oceans?
6973You ca n''t? 6973 You done say a light-- a reg''lar LIGHT, light?"
6973You have your weapons?
6973You know it?
6973You know that the gas in the bag of this dirigible is heated by electric radiators in order to avoid condensation of the gas?
6973You mean the Vikings?
6973You mean the last will and testament?
6973You mean they will discover the trick we have played on them?
6973You still believe there is such a creature?
6973You think it is dangerous to remain here, then?
6973You think you could get a leave of absence?
6973You think, then, that the Japs have secret agents keeping track of us?
6973Anything wrong?"
6973As the boys gained the aeroplane and clambered in, Frank uttered an exclamation:"Where''s the professor?"
6973As they scrambled to their feet Billy chattered:"Whatever happened-- did a cyclone strike us?"
6973But where was the professor?
6973But where?"
6973Can you grasp it?"
6973Did we hit another ship?"
6973Did you ever hear such cries?"
6973Did you turn back?"
6973Don''you fink we could ketch one an''hev a fricassee, perfusser?"
6973Frank, what do you know about this?"
6973Hardly had he recovered from his first shock of surprise when he heard a voice exclaim:"Can anyone tell me am I awake or dreaming in my bunk?"
6973How long can we live without them?"
6973How''s your news, boys, good?"
6973Is the ship going down?"
6973It''s simple, is n''t it?"
6973Say, bring me back a polar bear skin, will you?"
6973The crew,--his companions?"
6973The question is what is the explanation of it all?"
6973They soon drew near the strange South Polar birds who blinked solemnly at them as if to say:"And who may you be?"
6973Was she unharmed?
6973Were they destined to penetrate the great mysteries that lay beyond it?
6973What are they doing in it?"
6973What has happened?
6973What if the Japs had destroyed the Golden Eagle?
6973What''s he done, picked up a ship or a land station or what?"
6973What''s that?"
6973Where are we, anyhow?"
6973Where could he be?
6973Who knows?"
6973Who was Olaf, if I may ask?"
6973Who was to take the other watch with him?
6973Why did n''t it sound last night?"
6973Why, what on earth do you mean?
6973Will you?"
6973Would their airship be successful in wresting forth the secret of the great white silence?
6973Would they care to?
6973Would you care to?"
6973cried Harry,"what about?"
6973demanded the captain,"are we seriously damaged?"
6973exclaimed Ben,"whar did you boys come from?
6973exclaimed Harry, gazing at the crimson- daubed figure;"whatever is the matter?"
6973said Captain Barrington, breaking the silence at length, with a smile;"pretty big proposition, eh?"
