//- P'my intention to go westerly, for the infurmation-o/the Plover, should she fall in with it. Many - reports of land from the masthead. A landbird seen. Having this favourable wind !for examing the pack to the westward, I continued to steer as high as the wind would permit on the starboard tack. The wind continued to lighten until the morning of the 10th, when it fell s dead calm. • N SHELTER for the HOUSELESS --- Rstptt(T—The Right Hon. the LORD IHLTOR.

On placing it under the micro scope, no appearance of circulation could be de tected. Mr. Goodridge, the surgeon of this-ship, supposes it to have proceeded from the carcasses of the whales we saw yesterday, the oil having been forced through the pores by the pressure of the water, giving tho uniform size and shape in which we found it. I endea- Toured to dry some in blotting paper, but it was ab sorbed by the paper, and nothing left but an oily stain. Tried the current, and found it running to the west ward, one-third of a mile an hour. Wolves grunting around in groups of eight and ten togeth er; quantifies of small pieces of drift - wood, all pine, which a p peared to have been washed from some beach. The tempera.. ture of the water at the surface in 29 fathoms was 45 deg., and at the bottom 43 deg. The dredge produced (in soft blue mud) a good many mussels, starfish (found in all parts of this sea), a few bivalves (got before), and some very small shrimps. A light southerly wind sprang up, gradually increas ing, and veering to the eastward. At half-past ten, after standing to the S.W. for fifteen milea the loom of the land in the neighbourhood of North Cape could b e seen. I ticked to the N.E., with the wind fresh from E.S.E.; not wishing to run the risk of being caught with a Fouth•ea s te r between the land and the ice floe, which I considered could noose far off from the extraordinary smoothness of the water, the numbers of walrus, and particularly a little black and white diver, which we never saw except in its vicinity.

Noon, the wind having shifted suddenly to the northward, we had fine cl~:r weather; Cape Lisburne east nineteen miles. At fiver at. we anchored in fifteen fathoms, with Cape Lii- - burne bearing N. 7 deg. 20 min., E. meg.; distant two miles and a ha'f; Plover and yacht in company. • From this position two whale boats wore dispatched to examine the coast northerly, under the orders of Lieu tenant Pullen (Plover), and Mr. Parsons, second master (Herald). A boat was also sent from the Plover a short distance to the southward. The Plover's boat returned soon after midnight, having landed in one or two places, and - met with many natives, who were friendly and well disposed. A beantiful clear night. At midnight the sun showed its semidiameter above the horizon, and nearly every person in the ship remained up to witness this phenomena for their first time. July 21—Weighed in the -morning at seven A.M with a N.N.E. wind to follow the boats northerly. The Plover being nearer in shore, was visited by two hiders, each carrying about twenty natives, men and women ; a most miserable set of beings they were. They spoke of she boats having passed their encampment the night be fore. They collect near this place for the purpose of catching birds and gaehering eggs. Calm ; anchored at six P.M., in eleven fathoms north and east of Cape Lisburne, off shore about six mils. flo3 was five feet, and about one mile in extent; on it were found pebbles and mud, which led Commander Moore to suppose that it had been in contact with the land. I supposed the mud and pebbles to have been fecal remains dropped there by. some walrus. At 3 P.1‘,1 . the Plover slipped from the ice, and both ships with a N.E. wind made .sail westerly until six o'clock, when we hauled up true north, having no ice in sight in that direction, and only from mast-head on wea ther-beam. A fine clear night, running along six and seven knots; temperature of the water, 40 deg. ; depth, 21 fathoms (increasing). At midnight the latitude was obtained by the inferior passage of the sun. At 5 A.si. the temperature of the water had fallen to 36 deg., and almost at the same in stint the ice was repor'ed from the mast-head. Between this time and seven A.m. (when we hove to within half a mile of the pack) we ran ten degrees five minutes, so that I consider eleven miles to be about the distance that packed ice in this part of the world can be seen in clear weather from a ship's mast-head.

With light variably winds, assisted by our boats and a slight northerly curiont, we reached an anchorage in the entrance, in 15 fathoms by seven P. M. This psek was of dirty-!ol :ured ice, showing an out line, without a break in it, fivo or six feet high, with columns and pinnacles rauiti .higher some distance in. Although the wind was off the pack, there was not a particle of loose or drif - . ice from it; our soundings had gradually increased to 35 fathoms, soft bl ie mud. The only living thing seen were a pair of small divers, black with a white ball in the balk, arid two very remarkable birds, very like the female of the tropical man-of-war bird—a dingy black colour, with excessively long wing, and the same flight when soaring. We could not suc ceed in shooting any of either species. We remained hove to off the pack for an hour. The temperature of the sea near the park at every five fathoms was as shown in the margin. In the drk•dge we got muscles, and a few bivalves comnion to those seas. T HE LADIES' COMPANION at HOME and ' ABROAD. • Edited by MRS. LOUDON.

A fine northerly breeze springing► up at midnight, although foul, I weighed with the ship shortly after dispatching the boat. The wind freshened, with the tide in our favour, and we came to at seven A.N. in our farmer anchorage off the watering place. In our pa3sage up the masters of the American ves sels came on board to gain information relative to Beh ring's St•aits, whither they were bound. They in formed me that at least twenty American vessels would pass through those straits this year, in consequence of the success of one of their vessels last season. The master of the successful vessel appears to have been an enterprising man. He had a roving "commission from his owner, but having been unsuccessful in the Japanese Seas, and reading in Captain Beechey's voyage of the number of whales he had seen in the Arctic Sea, he determined to go there. He did so, and succeeded; entering the Straits with a clear ship, and returning about six weeks after with 4,000 barrels. The Governor of Petropaulski had not heard of a ves sel having wintered to the northward, nor could he inform us from what source such a report could have sprung. • I found lying here the Royal Thames Yacht Club schooner Nancy Dawson, owned and commanded by a Mr. Sheddon, formerly a mate in the royal navy. He informed me that his object in coming here was to go through the Straits, and as far north as possible in search of Sir John Franklin's expedition. He was last from Hong Kong, having touched at the Loo Choo Islands. She is well found in provisions, stores, and instruments. Her crew were entered at Hong Kong, the greater part of them Americans; they appeared to be a most disorganized set of men. Mr. Sheddon offered to place his vessel at my disposal, and appeared anxious that I should send an officer on board him. By 7 P. at. we had completed onr water (having ob tained 35 tons), and by 10 r. K. had taken on board as much wood as we could stow. _ _ It was impossible to gain this reported open water, as the pack was perfectly impenetrable. The pack we had just traced fa. 40 leir,ue, made in a-series of steps wes terly and northerly, the westerly being about 10 or 12 miles, and the northerly 20. We made sail at 9.o'clock, A.M., steering for the mid a little ti the westward of our track up. Wind N.E., gradually decreasing as we got southerly. Five o'clock, .A.M.—Fell a deal calm, the sea glassy soanoth, and so transparent that a white plat? was dis tinctly seen at, a depth of 80 feet. This afforded me an opportunity of A scertaing the extent of &linage the ship had received when on shore in Awatska Bay. The f foot was untouched, the fslse keel gone for about ten feet. Beyond this she had sustained no damage that we could see. The copper broken, and excessively thin all over. As we approached the coast we again met numbers of whales, walrus, se ils, and flights of ducks and sAt birds. TIIE POETICAL WORKS OF WILUIS, BRYA:NT, SIGOURNEY, &c. N.B.

Commander Moore came on board and proposed that during the time I was surveying Wainwright's Inlet he should go along the coast during the fine weather as fit north as the ice would permit him, and endeavour to communicate with the larger boats, which we expected were somewhere about Refuge Inlet. With this inten tion we both started with a fine but adverse wind from N.B. The weather would not allow of our anchoring so as to make a closer examination of the 6hoal with oar boats, and the sea was too heavy and hollow to attempt taking the ship herst•lf into less water.

Shortened sail, supposing that I was very near the ice; frequently snow showers. At 6A. m., 25th of June; weighed a calm, and towed out from the anchorage. Got a light wind from the southward, bringing witp it a fog, though still not so thick but that both sides of the entrance could be seen. Continued beating, 'out. In malting et; stretch over the eastern shore from Babouski Island the fig closed down over the rocks, and deceived me as to their distance. I hove the ship in stays with the greatest confidence, but the whirls of the tide made her slack, and shot her on to the rocks before I had time to bring up with an anchor. At fire A m. wind shifted suddenly from the N.W. in a sharp squall with heavy snow. Shortly after eight, when one of these snow storms cleared off; the packed ice was seen from the masthead from S.S.W. to N.N.W., five miles distant. The weather was so bad that I bore up for the rendezvous. The weather, however, as sud denly cleared up. I hauled my wind for the north western extreme of the ice that had been seen. At 9 40 the exciting report of " Land-ho!" was made from the masthead; they were both soon afterwards crowded. 50 0 01 I:it;'.43llollttee of the Socie ty oftt l i ) : 3l 'ave to infon the er !tai . ti on -on, they have ter iiil t T y aitte t, , the 9entral one open, of th e Kin; this step, hs pustd or _ vablic, as the Mails] sy t t na the !quite Inadequate be de "aal Period of the= Asyl l At _ Subscriptions since 41: Coannittee Room.

PRESTON, JAN. 19.--Owing to a prevalence of wind from the east, the arrivals are insignificant. There being no lively symptoms in other leading markets, the trade here during the week has exhibited less firmness, and in the limited business passing prices have been the turn in favour of the buyers. There was only a very moderate supply of English wheat this morning, which met a slow sale at the rates of this day ae'nnight. Very little de mand for Irish, though offered at an abatement of ld per bushel. Foreign neglected. Flour unaltered in value. Prime mealing oats sustained our last quotations, but secondary qualities were rather cheaper. Farmers' oat meal declined 6d per load, and Irish manufsture moved slowly, at a reduction of 3d per 2401 b. All other articles as last noted. NoTTINCHAM,JAN.I9—The weather has been very wet to-day, which caused a small attendance at market, and consequently less !grain offering than usual. The best samples of wheat obtained last week's prices—inferior sorts a shade lower. Barley was in fa ir suppy, and there being but few buyers, late rates were with diffi culty maintained. There was no variation in the value of either oats or beans, and but little doing in them. NEWCASTLE CATTLE MARKET, JAN. 22.—We had a fair supply of beasts at this morning's market.

We reached the anchoiage by One, p.m., having run in fifty hours from the west end of St. Lawrence Island to the anchorage off Chamisso. Commander Moore came on board, from whoin I was owl to learn that the officer s an d crew were a ll healthy and in mood spirits. Ile had only arrived at six A.M. the day previous, having passed the winter in a harbour dis coverod by the Plover on the C A •ISIS It . s hore, close to the south of Cape Tchukotsky. Before my arrival two boats had been 'dispatched for the Mackenzie River, under the command of Lieutenant Lee; lertunately the Herald hove in sight before it was too late to signalise them; the boats saw the recall, and returned. We commenced immediately on our arrival to coal and provision the Plover, and by 9 A.M. she had on board all the bread ehe could stow, half her coals, and a proportion of other provision. July 16--We were occupied in stewing Plover's pre visions and coals, removing officers, discharging objec tionable men, and filling up. their vacancies from our own complement. While this was going on I went with Commander Moore and his actiag ice-master to examine the different bays on the east side of Choris Peninsula, for a wintering station for the Plover. We found very shoal water iu all of them, shoaling gradually northerly towards the east peninsula. They were of opinion that if a vessel did winter there she would be greatly exposed, and probably, on the breaking up of the ice, be carried into the straits or s h ove d u p o n to the beach. At nine P.M. b o th s hip s w ere ready to sail, but our main cap havi ng been reported very rotten, I was de tained the next day (17th) to shift it. On each day of our stay we were visited by two baidars, carrying twelve men each; all of them were particularly tall, well built, well armed, and without either their women or dogs. At first they wero rather shy, but as soon as the in terpreter began t) speak t) them in their language— that is, in a dialect which some of them understood— they appeared delighted, came on board, looked all over tit) ship, and returned (after I had made each of them some trifling present) without attempting to pilfer any thing. They belonged to Spafaroif Inlet, and expressed their delight at meeting with, and being recognised by, Lieut. Cooper and others who had visited them at their place last year, making presents to them without seeking a return. Commander Moore and myself accompanied them to Chemise° Island, where after hauling up their baidars, canting them bottom to the wind, the weather gunwale resting on the sand, the other raised about three feet, and supported by paddles, the space underneath covered with fare, we partook of several pipes with them. Whilst we were engaged with our pipes Commander Moore left by employed his beat's crew in digging for the flour Cayetain Beechey twenty-three years before, in a e s i n d e r r e a m b o l ev space ~.- e xt, e d by direr ions on a rock, which were as position incli v when cut.

During this time we were visited by two baidara, with the same party of natives we had seen off Cape Lisburne ; they came along fearlessly, and disposed of every article they had ; the women selling their fur dresses, even to their second pair of breeches, for tobacco and beads. During the evening of the 233 and the morning of the 24th we were running to the N.E.. with a moderate S.S.W. wind and a thick f )g, clearing at intervals fir a short time. Walrusses' whales, and flocks of eider duck about. We were guided as to our approach to the ice by the temperature of the sea. July 25, A..3l.—The wind shifted to the N.W.; brought with it cold but fine and clear weather; steer ing fir Wainwright's Inlet, the vast numbers of wal russes that surrounded us keeping up a continual bellow ing or grunting. The barking of the innumerable seats the small whales, and the immense flocks of ducks con tinually rising from the water as we neared them, warned us of our approach to the ice, although the tem perature f the sea was still high. Wo made the land a litt'e before noon, ten miles to the northward of Wain -A....right's • Inlet. At two P.M. we anchored eleven fathoms, about three miles off its entrance. The Plover and yacht had done so about an hour before. In running down along the coast a post was observed on the higher land, near the entrance or the inlet;" shortly afterwards a man was seen to hoist on it (what we most of us made out to be) a flag. The Plover soon afterwards dipped her ensign (simply to clear it as we afterwards learned); this was answered by the person at the post doing the same, rind entirely removing it. I immediately lowered a boat, and sent Lieutenant Cooper, of this ship, to the shore. He walked up to the post, and found it to be nothin4 more than a native mark for a quantity of blubber and reindeer flesh he discovered buried there. The native had left. Lieute mut Cooper, after remaining there some time, returned on board- without seeing anybody. My reasons for selecting this piano to equip and dispatch the boats from, instead of proceeding as fsr north as the ships should go, was that I considered it of , the greatest importance that the Ploveetl winteri-ig ra tion should be known by the officer in command of the boat expedition. - _•_ _ _ Commenced immediately to hoist out the bostp, equip and provision them. While this was going on I dis- patched Mr. Hill, master of the ship, to sound the entrance of the inlet. He returned on board a little b fore midnight, and made to me the following report:— That' the channel was very narrow end winding; that nine feet was the most water that could with certainty be carried in, and that even to insure that depth the channel would require close buoying; that a fair wind, or a calm, so that a vessel might either sail or be:towed. in, was necessary, the channel being too narrow and in tricate to warp througb. Once in, he reports that there is a sufficiency of water and a convenient spot for the Plover to winter.. From this rePort I found that it was impossible frit the Plover to enter this inlet with the water found there, but as the entrance was encumbered with some heavy pieces of ice aground, which daring our stay was break ing up ast, I conceived it very probable that after they had disappeared the channel might become more direct and deeper. I therefore determined lo return and make a closer eiramivation of the inlet as soon as I had seen the boats as far north as we could reach in the ships. The beats were therefore directed to visit Wainwright's Inlet on their return, in ease it should prove practicable for the Plover to enter, but that, under any circum stances, sh'e would belound in the Chamisse Island. Mr. Hill met there about 40 natives, who were very friendly at first, but when they found he was about to leave them, they became annoying, pulling *heir baidars across his bows, and fouling his oars, not with any hos tile intentions, but simply to delay his departure, so that they might have time to barter with him for some of his riches. . . By midnight-the-boats were all ready, and shoved off under three hearty cheers from the ships, which were as heartily returned by the boats. This little expedition consisted of 25 persons and four boats, as fJilows:—Lieutenant Pullen, commanding the Herald's 30-foot pinnace, fitted on board with the greatest care, thoroughly decked, schooner-rigged, and called the Owen, furnished.with pumps, spare rudder, and a strengthening piece of 2-inch plank above her water line. _ __ • Two 27-foot whale boats, new beats, brought out by her Majesty's ship Asia fr)m England, covered in abaft as far as the backboard, but without either boxes or cases, the provisions being stowed, the bread in painted bags, and -the preserved meats between tarpawlings. The men's clothes were in haversacks, capable of re moval in a moment. Plover's pinnace, a half-decked , boat, with cases for her provisions, &c., so placed as to resist pressure from _ the ico. There was placed in the boats 70 days' preserved meats for the whole party, all the other articles of pro visions, except bread, to the same extent, being also soldered upiin tins. In addition to these the Owen had on board eight men's allowance of the regular ship's provisions. • After she was stowed with this proportion, , every corner that would hold a case of preserved meat was filled. The two larger boats carried in lack of them five eases of pemmican for the especial use of Sir John Franklin's party. The ships weighed in company with the boats, and ran along the land within about three miles, with a mo derate off-shore wind. July 21—At four A.M. the: ice could be seen in heavy masses, extending from the shore near the Sea Horse Islands. At six we were obliged to heave in conse quence of a dense fog. This cleared off at half-past eleven. The Plover was close to, but neither the boats nor the yacht were in sight. We both made sail, steering true north, and were, at one P.M., in lat. 71 deg. 5 min., where we made the heavily packed ice, extending nearly as far as the eye could reach from N. W. by W. to:N.E. At this time we had soundings in forty fathoms mud—the deepest water we have had since leaving the island of St. Lawrence. We continued running along the pack until eight p.m., when a thick fog coming on, we ran two or three miles south, and hove to, wind blowing from N.N.E., and directly off the ice. We had run along it thirty miles. The pack was composed of a dirty-coloured ice, not more than five or six feet high, except some pinnacles de ply seated in the pack, which had no doubt been thrown up by the floes coming in contact. Every fb w miles the ice streamed off from tho pack, through which the Plover railed. . _ _ „.., July 29--At half past one the fog cleared off; the pack from N.N.W. to N.N.E., distant about six miles. Made sail during the forenoon, running through streams of loose ice. At ten passod some large and heavy floes. Commander Moore considering them sufficiently heavy and extensive to obtain a suite of magnetical observa tions, dropped the Plover through between them, and made fist with ice anchors under the lee of the largest in a most seamanlike manner. I landed en the fl-e, with Lieutenant Trollop . The latitude, time, and variation, were obtained on it (lat. 71 30 N.; long. 162 5 W.); but the other observations were vitiated by its motion in azimuth , an d b y the con stant breaking away the level would not stand. We bad 23 fathoms mud alongside it and no current. I found the ice driving slowly to the southward, with the N.N.E. wind then blowing fresh. Very few walrus and but a single diver seen. The general height of this I worked on short tacks, close along shore, the sound ings in muddy bottom decreasing and increasing as we approached or receded from the land. Shortly after six o clock A.M. we again anchored off the entrance of Wain wright's Inlet. Not a particle of the ice seen on our former visit re mained. We had not long anchored when we observed the native carrying their baidars across the narrow neck between the inlet and the sea and launching them. Wishing to get as many of them as I could off to the ship, so as to have fewer to molest me on shore, I de tained the boats until two of them came alongside. They approached us slowly, frequently resting on their pad dles, the bowman each time invariably holding up his hands over his head at an angle of forty-five degrees, when lowering them passing them over his breast and stomach. I made the boatswain do the same from the forecastle netting. They always waited for his answer before they recommenced paddling. I made them each, a present of some tobacco and bead!, which they could hardly understand that I in tended t givd without return. • I left the ship with three boati, for the examination of the inlet," and gave permission to the ship's company to trade with thenatives for whatever they had to dispose of, consisting mostly of small figures and tools of ivory, kW's, arrows, a few furs, sealskin boots, and pieces of reindosea I had not lie long.on shore belore these natives left the ship AO feiktw Nothing, could exceed their good hirmouy....-del# alkult to, commence my observa- H tions; 4 :60100 , 411 golug to cease, drew a large semi . circle. , ,) trnin. water's edge to water's edge, sod the hetats!libies 'bepteen its points- They nee etTiPetfeet*.te uta3c stand be I/teenier of - this line; not 664 oC theirtuattemPted to Oviiitep . it; they squatted ' down, and remained perfectly quiet and silent.

I hid satisfied myself before his arrival that ten fe.4 was do greatest depth that could be carried in; I there , re called upon him to famish me wits a report of what his vessel coilfti be lightened to, a copy of which I have the honona 16 enclose. By it the it Letdships will perceive that, short of taking the Plover's masts out, she could not be lightened suffi .oiently-to enter the inlet. Could it have been. done by any partial lightening I shratid have attempted it, being in every way. so very desirable a position—in the first place, from its high latitude, the friendliness of the na tives; the supply of reindeer's flesh we found could be obtained there, there bo!ag no other harbour south of it nearer than the KotzAme Sound, and, lastly, the opi nions of the iceniasters of the exposure to which a vessel wintering in the latter place would be subjected. Inside there 18 a good depth of water, and in one spot the Plover might have been placei alongside a bank, will sheltered. The natives gave me to understand that a considerable river runs into it; at least one that they can, in their baidars, navigate for many days, and that it ran to. the S.E.; that on its banks, and in the neighbourhood of the inlet, the reindeer collected in great numbers, in their progress northerly, and in their return south. The natives began to leave as, as before, by eight P.m., tracking their baidars with dogs to their tents in a little sanday bay, a mile north of as. By the time we were ready to go off there was not one with us. I was sorry to find that, after all their good behaviour, they had been guilty of picking the pockets of two or three. One lost a handkerchief, another a glove, Com modore Moore a box of caps, and the naturalist a small glass bottle, containing spirits and water. Wednesday, Aug. I—During the night we had a thick fog, which cleared at five .L.M. The boats left the ship to continue their examination; Commander Moore and my self to obtain.a suite of magnetical and other observations. I returned to the ship shortly after noon with the boats to put my work on paper. Commander Moore went up the inlet, and found some baidars that had just arrived with several reindeer cut in quarters. They wore stowing it with a considerable quantity they had already collected in a hole dug on the sand spot off Point Collie, and ap peared much annoyed at their stow-hole having been discovered. It was deep, and lined with logs of wood, having a roof formed , also of logs about five feet above the ground, and covered with moss. For a small quan tity of tobacco they ,sold flOolbs.—as much as Com mander Moore's boat could carry. Learning from him that they were willing to dispose of more, I sent Lieu tenant Cooper, the naturalist, and the surgeon, in a light boat to purchase it; seeing the boat pulling in fast directly for them, they got alarmed, and at length, before the boat touched the beach, a woman walked to the water's edge and held up the bottle the naturalist had lost the day before, making signs to him when he landed that it had been picked up on the beach. It was in the same state as when he lost it, the cork never having been removed. They at least understand that stealing is an offence. At first they appeared rather sulky, and un unwilling to part with any of their meat; after a few presents they resumed their former good humour and sold fourteen quarters, all of them of young animals—it was without a particle of fit, badly killed, but still was owned by most on board to be very sweet and tender meat. In the afternoon a long westerly swell rolled in, with a very light wind still uff the land; at 6 o'clock it shifted to the southward, with a threatening appearance. We both immediat3ly weighed and stood off the land, in a thick fog, and with a falling barometer. August 2—At 9 A.M. the fog cleared off. Tho Plover was nowhere to be seen, and the wind was gradually in creasing. August 3—At 9 A.M. were reduced to treble-reefed topsails and reef e d courses, with a very short , off trying sea. We were obliged to carry to it to k eep the land, the current setting, as we found it onallotceaan sions, with the wind—rather stronge r off I cy Cap e h r s, the iu other parts of this seat. and by 5 A.M.

In standing off fell in with the Plover again, signalized our position to her, and ap pointed Cape Lisburne as a rendezvous. Whales seen, also large flocks of ducks and geese, going southerly. August 5,6, and 7—Fresh breezes, with heavy falls and falls cf snow, but what with the current, the trying sea, the wind always breaking us off in whichever way we tried to go, we could not make R mile of westing until the afternoon of the Bth, when the wind shifted sud denly to the N.W.; stood to the W.S.W. August 9.—ln the morning passed the carcass of a dead whale, and another in the al.ernuon. I sent a boat to this one, stuck a flag in it, and buried a bottle, contain ing a curre nt paper, a notice of my whereabouts, and of In running a course along the pack towards our first discovery, a small group of islands was reported o❑ our port. beam, a considerable distance within the outer mar gin of de ice. The pack hero was not so close as I found it before. Lanes of water could be seen reaching almost up to the group, but too ra•row to enter unless the ship had been sufficiently fortified to force a bole for herself. These small islands at intervals were ♦ery distinct, and were not considered at the time very distant. Still more distant than this group (from the deck) a very extensive and high land was reported, which I had been watching for some time, and anxiously awaited a report from some one else. There was a tine clear at mosphere (such a one as can only be seen in this climate) except in the direction of this extended laud, where the clouds rolled in numerous immense masses, occasionally leaving the very lofty peaks uncapped, where could be distinctly mil columns, pillars, and very broken, which is characteristic of the higher headlands in this sea— East Cape and Cape Lisburne, for example. With the exception of the N.B. and S.E. extremes, none of the lower land ;:c mld be seen, unless, indeed, wliat I took at first for a small group of islands within the pack edge was a point of this great land. This island or point was distant twenty-five miles from the ship's track, higher parts of the land ss , en not loss, I consider, than sixty. When we hove to off the first land seen the northern extreme of the groat laud showed out to the eastward f a moment, and so clear as to cause some who hid doubts before to cry out, " There, Sir, is the. land quite plain." From the time laud was reported until we hove to under it, we ran twenty-live miles directly for it. At first we could not ate that the pack joined it, hut as we approached the island, we found the pack to rest on the isian', and to extend from it as far as the eye could reach to the E.S.E. The weather, which had heet fine all day, now changed suddenly to dense clouds and snow showers, blowing fresh from the south, with so much sea that I did not anchor as 1 intended. I left the ship with two boats; the senior lieutenant, Mr. Maguire; Mr. Seeman, naturalist; and Mr. Collie son, mate, in one; Mr. Goodridge, surgeon; Mr. Paken ham, midshipman; and myself, in tho other; almost despairing of being able to reach the island. The ship kept off, and outside the thickest part of the loose ice, through which the boats were obliged to be very careful in picking their way, on the S.E. side,where I thought I might have ascended. We reached the island, and found running on it a very heavy sea; the first lieutenant, however, landed, having backed his boat in until he could get foothold (without swimming), and then jumped overheard. I followed his example; the others were anxious to do the same, but the sea was so high that I could not permit them. We hois t!,(1 the jack and took possession of the island with the usual ceremonials, in the name of her Most Gracious Majesty Queen - Victoria. The extent we bad to walk over was not more than thirty f;;;;: - From this space and a short distance that We scrambled up we collected eight species of plants; specimens of the rock were also brought away. With the time we could spare and our materials, the island was perfectly inaccessible to us. This was a great disappointment to us, as from its summit, which is elevated above the sea 1,400 feet, much could have been seen, and all doubt set aside, more particularly as I knew the moment I got on board I should be obliged to carry sail to get off the pack and out of the bight of it we were in; neither could I expect that at this late period of the season the weather would improve. The island on which I 1 anded is four miles and a half in extent east and west, and about two and a half north and south, in the shape of a triangle, the western end being its apex. It is almost inaccessible on itt aide., and a solid mass of granite. Innumerable black and white divers (common to this sea) here found a safe place to deposit their eggs and bring up their young ; not a walrus nor seal was seen on tts shore, or on the ice in its vicinity. We observed here none of the small land birds that were so numerous about us 'before making 'the land. It becomes a nervous thing to report a discovery of w i t h ou t actually i la t n i d s i m ng ore on th it an , lard after thein tuhne is take to the southward; but as a man can be certain, who has 130 pair of eyes to assist him, and all agreeing, I am certain we have dis fsearturengaitoenms probable m ak : , contin ua ti on of coveredatnhaetxttehnessievepelaankds. wel stahwinka, the range of mountains seen by the nativ e so ff C ape Jakan Jakan (coast of Asia), mentioned by Baron Wrangel in hi,s Polar voyages. I returned to the ship at seven Pzd a nd very reluctantly - made all th e sale we could ca rry •.' from this interesting neighbourhood to the south-past, the wind at the time allowing me to lie just clear of the pack.

Very threatening weather; remained - off and on until noon of the'23d, when we anchored in fourteen fathoms, about 25 miles to the southward of the Cape. Here I landed, accompanied by the naturalist and seve ral officers. I erected a mark, and buried a bottle. A be tutiful 'stream of water ran into this bay. The natu ralist had a good harvest on its banks, which were literally covered with flowers, removed only a few feet from what I considered to be perpetual snow. Quantities of coal were also found here. - There wore about 43 natives, all of whom we bad seen before, very poor and miserable-Itgkiug, but very '"'"' l4 T - 4- 4 44. • • % I t*? 0 4 5‘.. . , p s ;`.•- ; r - • . • . cg 'l' Ivor, ; - • • 1•1 , - • I ".• • *f.g9 • • k: I 7 , r • 1,.. 4 ! , 4 2- P 0i ,v4rtx.
