4229It was quite exciting to go up; what should we see at the top?

4229Now came the great question: What was there on the other side of the ridge?

4229One of the watch below, who had just come on deck, exclaimed:"What the devil is this beastly mess you fellows have got into?"
4229One often hears it asked, How is it possible to make the time pass on such a trip?
4229One often hears it asked, Which is to be preferred, severe heat or severe cold?
4229Or a great and dangerous fissure, which we should not be able to cross without going a long way round?

4229Then there was a hearty welcome home on all sides"Where''s the Fram?"
4229There had been five days of absolute calm; why should it not last out the week?
4229These looked very well, no doubt, freshly dyed as they were, but the question was, What would they look like after a couple of months''use?
4229They had the sun to go by, certainly, when they started, but who could say how long it would last?
4229Up on the Barrier all was absolutely still, and there was not a sign of life; indeed, what should anything live on?
4229Very strange, I thought; what can this be?
4229Was it possible that we were on our way down through the mountains again?
4229Was it possible?
4229Was it possibly instinct that told us this?
4229Was it the same desperate confusion, or would the ground offer better facilities?
4229Was it witchcraft?
4229Was n''t it he who was sent home from the Discovery after the first year?

4229Were they going over to the other side?
4229What could this mean?

4229What would it be like?
4229What would it bring?
4229What would the result be, after marching blindly for so long and over such impossible ground, as we had been doing?

4229When I looked at this one, what do you think I saw?
4229When should we see those five again, who had just disappeared from view on the boundless plain, and in what conditions?

4229Where could he be?
4229Who cared to think of coming troubles?
4229Who could tell?
4229Who would have guessed that such splendid weather was to be found in these parts?
4229Why was the whole after- deck full of coal?
4229Why?
4229Will they meet?
4229Would it be unreasonable if those who have endured and achieved so much had now come home to rest?
4229Would it be vouchsafed to us to uphold this honourable tradition?
4229Would it continue in this boundless plain without hindrance of any kind?
4229Would it not have been much more convenient to take all that kind of goods on board in''Frisco?
4229Would it prove impossible to land at all conveniently?
4229Would not Fix take advantage of the occasion to assume the position of boss?
4229Would they soon be coming?
4229Would they turn and go home, or would they drive up to the starting- point?
4229Yes, circumstances work wonders; for I suppose one need not make Providence responsible for these trifles?
4229and do you want to know where I found it?
4229ca n''t you hear?
4229there was Lindström lying on his stomach up in the loft, and handing down through the trap- door-- what do you think?
4229what can they have meant by this howling?
19731After that?
19731Ai n''t that what you expected at the south pole?
19731All? 19731 And I guess we sort of fooled the professor,"went on Bill,"eh, Tom?"
