Our difficulties will not increase, for as we near the Pole we get away from the point of greatest cold. We have fuel and provisions enough. There is nothing to stop us, and we should be culpable, in my opinion, if we allowed ourselves to abandon the project." "Very well, captain, I'll go along with you." OUR DIFFICULTIES WILL NOT INCREASE FOR AS WE NEAR THE POLE WE GET AWAY FROM THE POINT OF GREATEST COLD WE HAVE FUEL AND PROVISIONS ENOUGH THERE IS NOTHING TO STOP US AND WE SHOULD BE CULPABLE IN MY OPINION IF WE ALLOWED OURSELVES TO ABANDON THE PROJECT VERY WELL CAPTAIN I'LL GO ALONG WITH YOU
 Have you thought of what we had better undertake in summer?" "Have you, captain?" asked Johnson. "Have I? I may say that not an hour of my life passes without revolving in my mind my one cherished purpose. I suppose not a man among you intends to retrace his steps?" No one replied, and Hatteras went on to say-- "For my own part, even if I must go alone, I will push on to the North Pole. Never were men so near it before, for we are not more than 360 miles distant at most, and I will not lose such an opportunity without making every attempt to reach it, even though it be an impossibility. What are your views, Doctor?" "Your own, Hatteras." "And yours, Johnson?" "Like the Doctor's." "And yours, Bell?" "Captain," replied the carpenter, "it is true we have neither wives nor children waiting us in England, but, after all, it is one's country--one's native land! Have you no thoughts of returning home?" "We can return after we have discovered the Pole quite as well as before, and even better.
