ANOTHER ACCOUNT.
The expedition succeeded in crossing Melville bay
and aching the headaDds Of Smiths sound as early
as The 9Th Of August 1853, Finding the ice to the
norh completely mpeneirabe they were forced to at
tppt temporary passage along the coast, where the
rapid tides running at the rate Of four knots an hour
with rise and fall OF sixteen feet had worn tempo
rsry opening Previous to taking the step, which in
volved great responsibility and was in fact equivalent

The penetration of the pack-ice was attended by
many obstacles. The vessel grounded with every
TIDE and but for her extreme strength would not have
been able to suttain the shocks Of the ice. She was

boom best bower anchor, bulwsrks besides about
six hundred fatboms Of warpng line. They were
cheered however by email daily progress, and by
the 10th of September 1885, had succeeded in gainiog
the northern face of Greenland. Here the young ice

Winter asylum. The Winter gave them degree OF
cold much beow any previous regi.r iion on record
Whisky troze in November and for four months in the
year mercury was solid daily. The mean annual
temperature was Sc below zero, Summer and Winter
included. This without doubt was the greatest cold
ever e1pe fenced by man. as the seat Of their Winter
quarters wss the nearest to the pole.
The scurvy was readily controlled, but the most
fearful as well as most novel feature Of this Winter
was tetonm or lockjaw, which defod all treatment

and was altogether frightful scourge.
The operations Of search commenced as early as
March The first parties under the personal charge Of

only alternative to adopt this early travel; many of
the party were frost.bitten and under~ent smputa-

the expedition succeeded in bringing back its impOr-
tant results Tho parties were in the field as late as
the 10th of July, only ceasing from labor when
the winter darkness made it impossible to travel.
