Crew member Rasmussen comments on the sleeping conditions aboard the "Viking" while at sea: "The sleeping quarters were not first class. There were no berths, and the bedclothes may have been primitive, but we found them both good and suitable. A reindeer skin served as a mattress. A double blanket was sewn into a bag, and around this was another bag of oilcloth that we crawled into. When we were going to turn in, we found a place on the deck boards, the best available, on top of one of the zinc-tanks or on a chest. Then we crawled into the bag like a turtle or snail into its shell. We took a sweater, the oilskins or boots as a pillow, and soon slept soundly."
