...morning we boiled it. We made our bed and sleepingbag of bearskin. To keep warmer we both slept in one bag and, taken altogether, we were quite comfortable in our low hut. By the help of our lamps we succeeded in keeping the temperature inside at about freezing point. Our couch was formed of rough stones; we never quite succeeded in getting it even tolerably even, and our most important business throughout the winter was, therefore, to bend the body into the various positions in order to discover the one in which the pressure of the stones was least felt...

...speeches in rebuttal ended the debate. The Harvard speakers maintained as their chief point that their opponents were begging the question in ponents were begging the question in that they did not confine themselves to the question at issue nor did they show any possible way by which bimetallism could be put in force.
