Text Appearing Before Image:
clear; steam was ordered on the engines, and with its aid they made good progress and passed Cape Morton, at the end of Petermann Peninsula. Beyond this cape the channel was thickly blocked with ice, and the engines were powerless to force the vessel through it. Captain Jones watched his opportunity and made fast to a floe, in a position similar to that taken by the Vivian when beset in the ice off Herald Island. Thus protected from clanger of a nip, the vessel drifted south with the ice through Kennedy Channel into Smiths Sound, the speed varying from one to one and three-quarter miles an hour. On the fourth day after leaving the winter position the Vivian was fairly in Smiths Sound, and the opening of the ice allowed her to make use of her engines once more. She passed near Rensselaer Harbor, where Dr. Kane wintered with the Advance during 1853-55. Here she was caught again in the ice, and drift-ed through Smiths Channel past Port Foulke, a well-known name in arctic A GATEWAY TO THE POLE. 269

From that point he made a sledge journey overthe ice, and reached latitude 81° 37 north. Dr. Hayes was a firm believer in the open polar sea, and down to the time of his death he entertained the hope of one day reaching the pole by way of Smiths Sound.
