[00:06.68] | Chapter 5 A Long Cold Winter |
[00:12.40] | It was dark for four months. |
[00:16.00] | Outside the wooden house at Framheim, |
[00:20.01] | it was often -60°Centigrade. |
[00:25.75] | The dogs lived in warm holes under the snow. |
[00:30.90] | The men stayed in the house, |
[00:33.56] | and worked in their rooms under the snow. |
[00:39.05] | The skis and sledges came from the best shops in Norway, |
[00:44.51] | but Bjaaland wasn't happy with them. |
[00:48.25] | He changed a lot of things on the skis and sledges. |
[00:53.58] | Soon the sledges were stronger than before. |
[00:57.95] | The skis were better and faster,too. |
[01:02.45] | All the Norwegians worked hard. |
[01:07.54] | They looked after their dogs, |
[01:09.72] | and worked on their equipment-the sledges,skis,tents. |
[01:16.71] | Every day they thought about their journey to the Pole, |
[01:21.09] | and talked about it. |
[01:23.62] | And every day,Amundsen thought about Scott. |
[01:29.39] | One day,in midwinter, |
[01:32.12] | he talked to his men. |
[01:35.48] | 'Let's start early,before Scott,' |
[01:39.28] | Amundsen said.'Remember,Scott has more men than us, |
[01:45.19] | and he has motor sledges,too. |
[01:48.63] | Perhaps they can go faster than us.' |
[01:52.39] | Bjaaland laughed.'Oh no, |
[01:55.76] | they can't go faster than me,' |
[01:58.00] | he said.'On snow, |
[02:00.62] | nothing can go faster than a good man on skis.' |
[02:06.10] | 'We don't know,'Amundsen said. |
[02:09.95] | 'You're the best skier in Norway, |
[02:12.60] | but you get tired,and dogs get tired,too. |
[02:17.74] | Motor sledges don't get tired. |
[02:21.29] | They can go all day and all night.' |
[02:25.46] | Johansen laughed angrily. |
[02:28.31] | 'That's stupid,'he said. |
[02:31.51] | 'Perhaps the motor sledges can go all night, |
[02:34.97] | but the Englishmen can't. |
[02:38.46] | The English can't win,Roald- |
[02:42.36] | they don't understand snow,but we do. |
[02:47.62] | And they're too slow.' |
[02:51.17] | 'Perhaps,'Amundsen said. |
[02:54.11] | 'But I want to win this race. |
[02:57.21] | So we're going to start early! |
[03:01.01] | Do you understand?' |
[03:03.71] | It was quiet and warm inside Framheim. |
[03:08.05] | Bjaaland looked at Amundsen, |
[03:11.18] | and thought about the long, |
[03:13.06] | cold journey in front of him. |
[03:16.72] | He thought about the dogs in their holes under the snow, |
[03:21.37] | and listened to the wind over the house. |
[03:25.52] | 'When,Roald?'he said quietly. |
[03:31.36] | 'On August 24th. |
[03:33.95] | The sun comes back on that day. |
[03:37.29] | We start then.' |
[03:40.67] | 'But we can't!'Johansen said. |
[03:44.66] | He looked angry,and unhappy. |
[03:47.85] | 'That's too early! |
[03:50.44] | We can't start then-it's dangerous and stupid!' |
[03:57.38] | Amundsen looked at Johansen coldly. |
[04:01.27] | 'You're wrong,Johansen,' |
[04:03.71] | he said.'We want to win,remember? |
[04:08.56] | So we start on August 24th.' |
[04:13.32] | Bjaaland listened to the winter wind outside. |
[04:20.11] | In Scott's camp,at Cape Evans, |
[04:23.97] | no one talked about Amundsen and no one worked hard. |
[04:30.49] | They had good food, |
[04:32.17] | and they played football on the snow. |
[04:36.45] | They wrote a newspaper- |
[04:38.44] | The south Polar Times-and read books. |
[04:43.66] | No one learnt to ski,no one worked on the motor sledges. |
[04:49.47] | Twice,men went for long journeys across the snow. |
[04:54.47] | They walked,and pulled the sledges themselves. |
[04:58.88] | Oates stayed at Cape Evans and looked after his ponies. |
[05:04.46] | Over the window in Cape Evans, |
[05:08.21] | Scott put a map of Antarctica. |
[05:12.18] | With a pen,he made a line from Cape Evans to the South Pole, |
[05:18.42] | and he put a little Britisn Flag at the Pole. |
[05:23.32] | Under the map,Scott wrote the day for the start of their journey. |
[05:30.18] | We start on November 3rd,he wrote. |
