May 8, 1897 |
| Edition Description: |
Part of the "For Students of Natural History" department. |
| First Sentence: |
During Dr. Nansen's long voyage into the Artic Sea in search of the north pole he came upon a group of four islands, in the neighborhood of Franz Josef Land, near which he saw large numbers of a very rare and beautiful bird known as Ross' gull. |
| Last Sentence: |
Speaking of the discovery of these birds, Dr. Nansen says: "Hitherto it has only been seen by chance on the utmost confines of the unknown polar sea, and no one knew whence it came or whither it went; but here we had unexpectedly come upon its native haunt, and although it was too late in the year to find its nests, there could be no doubt about its breeding in this region." |
