When, finally, I was at the point of freezing to death, I shut up the entrance with snow, and as the breaking up of the ice had rendered any near road to the ship impracticable, and the gale continued violently, I set out for the south in search of men, although I had a wide sea to cross. My nine dogs pulled quickly, and, by catching hold of the sledge-poles and running, I began to be revived. I passed by a great number of walrus breathing-holes. Before I could reach the opposite shore my dogs ...stopped from exhaustion. I was obliged to stay, and tried to sleep, but the cold kept me awake.

When I reached 40 VOYAGE WITH DR. HAYES. the house I found it empty ; I made an attempt to sleep, and after a miserable slumber rose and fell down again, but at last succeeded in getting a little warmer by walking.
