1:26:03
Amundsen?
1:26:05
Amundsen has been lost looking for you.
1:26:08
I didn't know that he was here.
1:26:19
We took off in clear weather...
1:26:21
but we flew into an Arctic storm.
1:26:24
It took us north.
1:26:26
It took us beyond radio contact
with Kingsbay.
1:26:31
It took us to the wreckage of your airship.
1:26:36
Strange, was it not?
1:26:38
Hard to write off as mere chance.
1:26:42
Still, presumably it was chance.
1:26:46
When we saw the wreckage,
it was difficult to know what we should do.
1:26:51
To land was dangerous...
1:26:53
but it was just as dangerous,
almost as dangerous...
1:26:57
to stay in the air in the grip of that wind.
1:27:00
And we could see people.
1:27:03
So I ordered my pilot to land...
1:27:07
and we crashed.
1:27:09
My pilot was killed.
1:27:11
Guilbaud was his name. A Frenchman.
1:27:14
Very brave and amusing.
1:27:19
The people we had seen
had looked quite lifelike from the air.
1:27:23
At least it had seemed possible
that there was life in them...
1:27:27
and impossible not to land and find out.
1:27:33
Now, it was very clear
that life had left them long ago.
1:27:38
I could find no food,
nor means of making fire.
1:27:43
So it was just a matter of time.
1:27:49
Luckily, I did find something
to help me pass the time.
