The rapture of seeing with their own eyes strange semes a»d stranger peoples, and tlie thrill of meeting with adveutuies —these rewaids are compensations more than enough to weigh lho balance down The lure has always been great ; even as today the somewhat similar magnet of exploration will draw an Amundsen into the bite and terror of the Arctic trust.
