[01:58.74]But everyone was unhappy． [02:01.94]'I told you,Roald!'Johansen said． [02:05.60]'Even September is too early! [02:09.31]We can't travel in this cold． [02:13.23]Do you want us to die? [02:15.98]Let's go back and wait for better weather．' [02:21.01]Amundsen was very angry． [02:23.96]He was angry with Johansen, [02:26.14]but he was angry with himself,too． [02:29.35]He knew Johansen was right． [02:33.06]'All right,'he said slowly． [02:37.44]'We can go on to the depot at 80°South, [02:41.73]leave the food there,and then go back． [02:46.39]We can't do more than that．' [02:50.41]It was thirty-seven kilometres to the depot． [02:54.21]The wind was in their faces all day． [02:58.79]Two dogs died on the way． [03:03.06]At the depot,they did not stop． [03:06.75]They put out the food and the flags, [03:09.89]turned round,and went north． [03:14.45]At last the wind was behind them． [03:17.34]The dogs ran quickly, [03:18.95]and the men sat on the empty sledges． [03:21.64]They went faster and faster．It was like a race． [03:25.82]Amundsen was on Wisting's sledge, [03:28.41]and soon he,Wisting, [03:29.87]and Hanssen were three or four kilometres in front． [03:33.28]Soon they were alone． [03:35.65]They travelled seventy-five kilometres in nine hours, [03:39.87]and they reached Framheim at four o'clock that afternoon． [03:44.47]Bjaaland arrived two hours later, [03:48.54]with two more men． [03:51.22]But the last two-Johansen and Prestrud-went more slowly． [03:57.82]Their dogs were tired, [03:59.98]their feet were wet and cold,they had no food, [04:04.74]and they were alone in the dark． [04:08.77]The temperature was－51°Centigrade． [04:14.43]They reached Framheim at midnight． [04:19.86]Next morning,Johansen was angry． [04:23.64]In front of everyone, [04:25.37]he said：'You were wrong,Roald． [04:29.32]September was too early． [04:32.84]I told you but you didn't listen． [04:37.36]And then you left us alone and we nearly died in the cold! [04:44.74]You're a bad captain- [04:47.54]I'm a better captain than you are!' [04:52.01]Amundsen was very angry． [04:55.05]But at first he said nothing, [04:59.41]because he knew that Johansen was right． [05:04.35]Then,that evening, [05:06.90]he gave a letter to Johansen． [05:09.99]It said：You aren't coming to the Pole with me． [05:15.53]When I go south,you can take some dogs [05:19.18]and go east to King Edward Ⅶ Land． [05:23.34]You can go with Prestrud and Stubberud． [05:27.24]You can be the first men to go there- [05:30.39]but not to the South Pole! [05:35.30]The Norwegians stayed in Framheim and waited． [05:39.78]They lay in bed,listened to the wind outside, [05:44.86]and thought about Scott and his motor sledges．
