“We must leave here.”
“Where shall we go?”
“Back to the mountains. From there I believe we can watch the whole wonderful phenomenon.”
“All right,” agreed Frank, with alacrity. “It shall be as you say; but one thing puzzles me.”
“Well?”
“What has become of the people who abandoned this doomed country?”
“It is easy enough to guess. Doubtless they have made their way to other parts of the Antarctic, as yet undiscovered by any one.”
“Before I leave this land of wonders I must find them,” declared Frank. “I must have a look at them.”
“I don’t see why we cannot accomplish that,” declared Randall. “Then we will return to the other end of the valley, will we?”
