of the Greenland fishery.

" Hear Father-1 write to inform you that lam in local health,
but depressed in spirits for want of success. We have got only
one fish, which we killed on Sunday, the 11th insr. Fish are very
scarce, which the experienced hands attribute to the small quantity
of icc. We have been as far north ca 110 degrees, but fell in with
no fish, when we ran to the soathward 73 degress, and till in with
the West Land, with like bad fortune. Here we met with the
Perseverance, of 111111, Capt. Turnbull, 3 fish. We are in company
with a Frenchman • she is about leaving the country with 15 tuns
of seal.oil, and by her lxitall send this letter. We have not, how.
ever, lost all hopes as the weather is clear, and we du not mean to
bear till the Intl; of September.—Your affectionate Son,
