THE NORTHERN EXPEDITION.

We (PLYMOUTH JOURNAL) have been favoured with the
perusal of a letter from an Officer of his Majesty's ship Fury,
to a friend in Plymouth, dated July leth, 1821, from which
we make the following Extract
" DEAR W.—Au unexpected opportunity again presents it»
self, by one of the Hudson's Bay Company ships, to let you
know 1 am well, and moreover, that we are now in a fair way
to get on, after being hampered among the ice almost ever since
the transpoit left us on the Ist inst., and having had to contend
with a tide, running in this strait at the rate of lour or five tildes
per hour, which causes the ice to take different sets in the
eddies ; but this cannot last long, as we perceive it to waste
daily. We have had a considerable deal in rain, whi.th must
inevital 'y be one of the principal causes of its dissolution so
fast. It is intended that we shall first make the Upper Savage
Islands, and to the north of which we expect to find the passage
into the Polar Sea. Our ships are very bad to manage :4-nong
the ice, being below their beamings, and consequently .bl,lew
the doubling. We are at this moment getting some heavy
thumps in boring through the ice to gtt to the Strangers. I
must conclude, as Captain Parry will not stop a moment In
compiny with the ships.-1 remain,
" Your's faithfully,

41. J. H.,'
