The efficiency of a polar expedition varies on the whole according to the adequacy of its preparations, the worth of its equipment and scientific gear, the services of its personnel and staff of scientists and the length of its stay in the field. These things require a great deal of money nowadays, and no explorer could possibly foot the bill on the strength of his own pocketbook. He is dependent upon the generosity of friends and the public. This has been true in the author's case especially, for the problem of financing two of my last three espeditions has fallen upon him and his friends.
The last expedition to the Antarctic wasm for reasons explained in subsequent pages, a costly one.
