lence of the preparations. The Expedition
sailed out Of the port, followed by the good
wishes of all; but after the first tidings
were received that it was spoken at
sea, there was no intelligence Of Its move
ments. Dr. KANE, as it afterwards uP
pearcd, had pushed northward with
great rapidity, aud before he could extri.
cate himself was frozen up and compelled
to winter in the ice packs. On the 2lA
OF May, 1855, finding that it was impOs.
Si5le to clear the brig, the party came TO
the determination to forsake her; and did
so, first taking out the necessary prOSi'-
ions, documents, instruments, &c, and
placing them on sledges and in boats, which
were dragged by the men over the ice, with
Incredible difficulty, for distance OF three
hundred miles. Then, having reached The
sea, the party took to the open boats and
made best oil their way, for a distance o.
i,3OO miles, to the Danish settlement Of
