[00:04.60] | Chapter 6 A Bad Start |
[00:10.30] | On August 23rd,the Norwegians'sledges were ready. |
[00:15.68] | They took them outside, |
[00:17.53] | and the dogs pulled them across the ice. |
[00:21.90] | The sun came up for half an hour, |
[00:25.04] | but it was too cold:-46°Centigrade. |
[00:31.69] | They could not travel in that weather. |
[00:35.08] | They went back to Framheim and waited. |
[00:40.52] | They waited two weeks,until September 8th. |
[00:45.71] | Then,with the temperature at-37°Centigrade,they started. |
[00:54.14] | They ran happily across the snow to the south- |
[00:57.89] | eight men,seven sledges,and eighty-six dogs. |
[01:04.05] | Only Lindstrom,the cook, |
[01:06.54] | stayed behind in Framheim. |
[01:11.06] | At first everything went well. |
[01:14.35] | They went twenty-eight kilometres on Saturday, |
[01:17.85] | and twenty-eight kilometres on Sunday |
[01:21.00] | It was easy.Then,on Monday, |
[01:25.53] | the temperature went down to -56°Centigrade. |
[01:31.31] | There was white fog in front of their faces. |
[01:35.13] | They couldn't see anything. |
[01:38.73] | But they travelled twenty-eight kilometres. |
[01:42.48] | That night,in their tents, |
[01:46.28] | they nearly died of cold. |
[01:49.56] | Next day,they stopped and made snow houses. |
[01:54.63] | Inside the snow houses,it was warm. |
[01:58.74] | But everyone was unhappy. |
[02:01.94] | 'I told you,Roald!'Johansen said. |
[02:05.60] | 'Even September is too early! |
[02:09.31] | We can't travel in this cold. |
[02:13.23] | Do you want us to die? |
[02:15.98] | Let's go back and wait for better weather.' |
[02:21.01] | Amundsen was very angry. |
[02:23.96] | He was angry with Johansen, |
[02:26.14] | but he was angry with himself,too. |
[02:29.35] | He knew Johansen was right. |
[02:33.06] | 'All right,'he said slowly. |
[02:37.44] | 'We can go on to the depot at 80°South, |
[02:41.73] | leave the food there,and then go back. |
[02:46.39] | We can't do more than that.' |
[02:50.41] | It was thirty-seven kilometres to the depot. |
[02:54.21] | The wind was in their faces all day. |
[02:58.79] | Two dogs died on the way. |
[03:03.06] | At the depot,they did not stop. |
[03:06.75] | They put out the food and the flags, |
[03:09.89] | turned round,and went north. |
[03:14.45] | At last the wind was behind them. |
[03:17.34] | The dogs ran quickly, |
[03:18.95] | and the men sat on the empty sledges. |
[03:21.64] | They went faster and faster.It was like a race. |
[03:25.82] | Amundsen was on Wisting's sledge, |
[03:28.41] | and soon he,Wisting, |
[03:29.87] | and Hanssen were three or four kilometres in front. |
[03:33.28] | Soon they were alone. |
[03:35.65] | They travelled seventy-five kilometres in nine hours, |
[03:39.87] | and they reached Framheim at four o'clock that afternoon. |
[03:44.47] | Bjaaland arrived two hours later, |
[03:48.54] | with two more men. |
[03:51.22] | But the last two-Johansen and Prestrud-went more slowly. |
[03:57.82] | Their dogs were tired, |
[03:59.98] | their feet were wet and cold,they had no food, |
[04:04.74] | and they were alone in the dark. |
[04:08.77] | The temperature was-51°Centigrade. |
[04:14.43] | They reached Framheim at midnight. |
[04:19.86] | Next morning,Johansen was angry. |
[04:23.64] | In front of everyone, |
[04:25.37] | he said:'You were wrong,Roald. |
[04:29.32] | September was too early. |
[04:32.84] | I told you but you didn't listen. |
[04:37.36] | And then you left us alone and we nearly died in the cold! |
[04:44.74] | You're a bad captain- |
[04:47.54] | I'm a better captain than you are!' |
[04:52.01] | Amundsen was very angry. |
[04:55.05] | But at first he said nothing, |
[04:59.41] | because he knew that Johansen was right. |
[05:04.35] | Then,that evening, |
[05:06.90] | he gave a letter to Johansen. |
[05:09.99] | It said:You aren't coming to the Pole with me. |
[05:15.53] | When I go south,you can take some dogs |
[05:19.18] | and go east to King Edward Ⅶ Land. |
[05:23.34] | You can go with Prestrud and Stubberud. |
[05:27.24] | You can be the first men to go there- |
[05:30.39] | but not to the South Pole! |
[05:35.30] | The Norwegians stayed in Framheim and waited. |
[05:39.78] | They lay in bed,listened to the wind outside, |
[05:44.86] | and thought about Scott and his motor sledges. |
