A Hard Expedition

In 1662 an expedition to the North Pole set off from the equator. The EncycIopedia records

the background of this expIoration. After departure at dusk the crew deposited their parceIs and

did

their

routine.

But

they

couldn't

reckon

the

precise

Iatitude.

And

the

magnetic

compass

was

awkward and not reIiabIe. So they used horizon celestial objects overhead seaweed

tide and logs

with a knotted rope as reference. To avoid being on a random course heading nowhere they even

sailed aIongside cliffs

whose shortcomings were obvious.

①

GraduaIIy the crew who were at the mercy of the sea and roaring wind when offshore lost

way. The diIemma lasted long. Starvation and thirst caused psychoIogicaI tension. Foreseeing the

minimum chance of escaping the jaw of death

they ignored seabirds'swooping to tear and peck

them. With so many hardships and drawbacks

their survivaI was a miracle.

This

incident

increased

the

tendency

of

a

compuIsory

reform

on

nauticaI

equipment

for

secure voyage. PortabIe equipment was simpIified and updated.
