A ICCTIC EXPEDITION:

The following i. sus extract of an interesting let-

turned from an unsuccessful attempt to petietrate

During a few days previous to making the ice, we expe-

fallen ve►y considerably, and now continued below 32 deg.
We bad also frequent and heavy falls of mow; and for se-

latitude 79. 33. North longitude 11. East. The upper

with ice, which was now beginning to break up, that
our situation here became very critical. Haring sur-
