as in previous voyages, but proceed to Hanunerfest in Nor-
way,where some rein-deer will be provided for them to
assist in drawing the boats on the ice when they are used
as sledges. Upon the arrival of the Reda at Spitzbergen,
after securing her firmly, in as good a situation as can be
found, she will be left in charge of a Lieutenant. The
two expeditions, into which the rest of the officers and crew
are to he divided (after leaving a • few bands with the
vessel), will then start on their adventurous routes. The
first, which is to proceed direct for the North Pole, is
to consist of two parties of ten men each and two officers,
in two boats, which may be used on the ice with wheels,
or as sledges. The provisions consist of fine biscuit
powdered, and meat preserved in a peculiar manner. For
fuel there is highly
rectified spirits of wine, one pint of
which will make four gallons of water from ice (by an in •
gcnious apparatus), and at the same time boil the water
into soup. They will take provisions for 90 days, the time
they expect to be absent ; but will be able to subsist upon the
stock for 110 or 120 days, should difficulties arise to detain
them so long. The second division is under Lieutenant
Foster, R.N., an officer of great scientific attainment,
and who acted as astronomer ill the last expedition with
Captain Parry ; it his intention, if possible, to sail round

penetrate to 80 degrees, it would be 600 miles in a strait
line to the Pole, which it is not probable they could
pursue, as they must be constantly making detours to avoid
mountains of ice, or perhaps land. They are, however, all
most sanguine of success, and expect to return to England'
