Note 3 — Chapter III · We Make a Start
Reading edition
At 4 o’clock in the afternoon, when we stopped, our odometer3 showed that we had gone about 4 miles from the Fram. We had a pleasant evening in the tent, together with our friends who were going back the next day. To my surprise a punch-bowl was prepared, and toasts were proposed for those who were starting and those who remained behind. It was not until 11 o’clock that we crept into our sleeping-bags.
