the amount of ice in a certain part of the polar sea any given summer
has no relation to the temperature that summer and depends only on the
winds that prevail in the wide region surrounding the area you want
to navigate. Generally, speaking, there is ice between Wrangell
Island and the mainland of Asia, when the winds are from the northeast,
north or northwest. The favorable winds are from the east, south-
east, and south.

Captain Bernard made a faithful try. He followed the edge
of the ice westward. Sometimes he ventured a little way out into it
and was nearly caught.
