A rbriIline Story.

a +44A4444Lls3 story.
The following was communicated by
Mr.. F. Merriam to the Portsmouth Jour
nal -
As early as 998, Errick Bande, an Ice
Iandic chief, fitted out an expedition of
twenty-five galleys at sentell, having
manned them with sufficient crews of colo
nists, set forth from Iceland to what ap-
peared a more congenial climate. They
sailed upon the ocean fifteen days, and they
saw no land. The next day brought with
it storm, and many gallant vessel sunk
in the deep. Mountains of ice covered the
water as far as the eye could reach, and
but few galleys escaped destruction.-
The morning of the seventeenth day was
clear and cloudless; the sea was calm, and
far away to the northward could be seen
the glare of the -iee-feds reAeessI = ~ =
sky. The remains of the shattered fleet
gathered together to pursue their voyage,
but the galley of Errick Rande was not
there.
The crew of the galley which was driven
further down than the rest, reported that
as the morning broke the large fields of
ice that had covered the ocean we're driven
by the current past them, and that they
beheld the galley of Errick Rande borne
by resistless force and speed of the wind
before a tremendous field Of ice her crew
had lost all control over her and they
we're tossing their arms in wild agony
Scarcely moment had elapsed before it
was walled in by hundred ice hills, and
the whole mass moved forward and was
soon beyond the horizon. That the galley
of the narrator escaped was wonderful, it
remained, however, uncontradicted, and
the vessel of Errick Rande was never more
seen. r
Half a century after that Danish colo
ny was established on the western coast of
Greenland The crew of the vessel which
carried the colonists thither, in their ex-
cursions INTO the interior, crossed range
of hills that stretched to The northward;
they had approached nearer to the pole
than any preceding adventures. Upon
looking down from the summit of the hills
they beheld a vast and and interminable
field of ice, uudulatng in various places,
and formed intoSa thousand grotesque
shapes.
They saw, not far from the shore, fig
ure of an iced vessel, with glittering icicles
instead of masts arising from it. Curios-
ity prompted them to approach, and they
beheld a dismal sight. Figures of men in
every attitude Of woe were upon the deck,
but they were icy things then; one fgure
alone stood erect, and with folded arms,
bearing against the mast. A hatchet was
procured, and the ice split away, and the
features of a chiefain disclosed, palid and
deathly and free from decay.
This was the vessel and that the figure
and form of Errick Rande Benumbed
with cold, and in the agony of despair, his
crew had fallen around him. The spray of
the ocean and the fogs had frozen, as it
lighted upon them, and covered each fig
ure with an icy robe, which the short lived
glance of Greenland sun had not time to
remove. The Danes gazsd upon the spec
tacle with trembling eyes. They know not
but the scene might be their fate They
knelt down upon the deck and muttered
prayer in their native tongue for the souls
of the frozen crew, then hurredly left the
place, for night was approaching
