(13) (13 Nansen, on page 394, says: "To day another noteworthy thing happened, which was that about mid day we saw the sun, or to be more correct, an image of the sun, for it was only a mirage. NOTE THIRTEEN NANSEN ON PAGE THREE NINETY FOUR SAYS QUOTE TO DAY ANOTHER NOTEWORTHY THING HAPPENED WHICH WAS THAT ABOUT MIDDAY WE SAW THE SUN OR TO BE MORE CORRECT AN IMAGE OF THE SUN FOR IT WAS ONLY A MIRAGE
s away." But this dull-red, false sun, as we supposed it to be, did not pass away for several hours; and while we were unconscious of its emitting any rays of light, still there was no time thereafter when we could not sweep the horizon in front and locate the illumination of the so-called false sun, during a period of at least twelve hours out of every twenty-four. Clouds and mists would at times almost, but never entirely, hide its location. Gradually it seemed to climb higher in the horizon of the uncertain purply sky as we advanced. It could hardly be said to resemble the sun, except in its circular shape, and when not obscured by clouds or the ocean mists, it had a hazy-red, bronzed appearance, which would change to a white light like a luminous cloud, as if reflecting some greater light beyond. We finally agreed in our discussion of this smoky furnace-colored sun, that, whatever the cause of the phenomenon, it was not a reflection of our sun, but a planet of some sort--a reality. ON OR MIRAGE IT WILL SOON PASS AWAY BUT THIS DULL RED FALSE SUN AS WE SUPPOSED IT TO BE DID NOT PASS AWAY FOR SEVERAL HOURS AND WHILE WE WERE UNCONSCIOUS OF ITS EMITTING ANYWAYS OF LIGHT STILL THERE WAS NO TIME THEREAFTER WHEN WE COULD NOT SWEEP THE HORIZON IN FRONT AND LOCATE THE ILLUMINATION OF THE SO COLD FALSE SUN DURING A PERIOD OF AT LEAST TWELVE HOURS OUT OF EVERY TWENTY FOUR CLOUDS AND MISTS WOULD AT TIMES ALMOST BUT NEVER ENTIRELY HIDE ITS LOCATION GRADUALLY IT SEEMED TO CLIMB HIGHER IN THE HORIZON OF THE UNCERTAIN PURPLY SKY AS WE ADVANCED IT COULD HARDLY BE SAID TO RESEMBLE THE SUN EXCEPT IN ITS CIRCULAR SHAPE AND WHEN NOT OBSCURED BY CLOUDS OR THE OCEAN MISTS IT HAD A HAZY RED BRONZED APPEARANCE WHICH WOULD CHANGE TO A WHITE LIGHT LIKE A LUMINOUS CLOUD AS IF REFLECTING SOME GREATER LIGHT BEYOND WE FINALLY AGREED IN OUR DISCUSSION OF THIS SMOKY FURNACE COLORED SUN THAT WHATEVER THE CAUSE OF THE PHENOMENON IT WAS NOT A REFLECTION OF OUR SUN BUT A PLANET OF SOME SORT A REALITY
