Toward the end OF April, the arrangements Tor
d journey of exploration were completed, and lca''
Ing the big 10 charge of trustworthy detachment,
four able-bodied and six disabled men, the con-
msnder. with seven others, set out upon the tour
over the ice. His plan was to follow the icebet
to the Great Glacier of Humboldt, and from that
point to stretch along the face oi the gsc or 70 the
northwest, End make an attempt 70 cross the
ice to the American side. The stores Of the party
consisted Of penmIcaD breSi, and tea, canvas
tent five feet by sx and two sleeping bags Of
reindeer skin The sledge was lgh;, built Of
hickory, and but nine tet long. soup-seaie,
for melting snow and making lea, was arranged to
boil either with lard or spIlts. A SUBDIVISION Of
he party with another sedge started two days be-
fore the departure OF DIR. Kaue, which took place

picturesque character. The red sandstones present
an impressive contrast with the blank whltenss,
assocatng the culd tints If the dreny Arc Gle land

lands. The different layers Of the cliff have tss
appearance jointed masonry, and toe narrow line

AT one place rose the dreamy semblaDce OF castle
far he'd with triple towers, completely isolated and
defined To these DR.. Kane gave The name Of tse
Three Brother Towers" A still more striking
object was single cliff Of greenstone, north Of
latitude ~ degrees, which reared itself from
crunbled base of sands ones, like the BOLDLY
chiseled rampant Of all ancient city. On one d-
tremity stands solitary column or minaret tower
as sharply finished as if it had been east for Tho
Place Vendome. The length Of the shat; alone -
