Discovery 81 . Northwest Passage.


Discovery of q Northwest Passage.
passage BY the Arctic ocean. around
the northern continent Of America. has at
last been discovered. Commander d Clure
Fofthe British Navy, has accomplished what
the maritime enterprise Of nearly two hun
bred years has failed to accomplish. He
has sailed from Dayis's Straits on the east
through the great Arctic ocean to near
Behring'S Straits on the west. and has
shown the existence Of an uninterrupted wa
ter communication from the North Atlantic
to the North Pacific. His course, as near
as We can gather it from the brief announce
Iment ofthe fact made by the English Adj
miralty, was through the Prince of Wales
Straits, connecting with Barrow Straits, to
4 cliff south ofMelyille Island, called Banks
Land thence through foes and hammocks Of
almost impenetrable ice to a place called
Barring Island, in the Bay Of Mercy. The
precise position Of this Island we are unable
to ascertain, but it seems to be sufficiently
far east, and near to the outlet of Behring's
Straits, on. the coast of Asia. to settle the
question Of the practicability Of the passage.
What Commander Mcclure has thus
done has been the dream of geographers
and pilots ever since Cabbot discovered the
northern continent Of America. As 3 short
