Kara Havet 31. Juli 1883

Hollænderne og Nordmændene færdige til at tiltræde Retraite med Baade og Slæder.
The Dutch and Norwegians with their sledges and boats - ready for the retreat over the ice and land to Chabarowa (approx. 200 km on foot). The chief reason was that the provisions/cache (food etc.) were so low that they allowed for only 10 men to stay over for another winter. Only half of "Dijmphna's" crew remained.
Two months later the crew learned that the Dutch and Norwegians actually made it and returned safely home.
