disrtputable influence on his party. BE
that as II may, his labors were suspended
and the exhorter brought to the lock up as

ship lag almost uiotioulcss on the deep blue
transparent water. At noon to dag, when
the fog cleared off, the white borders of the
ice pack, with its blue shadows and riffs,
lay before Us, at about 800 PAGES distance,
broken. and in rugged and Geld su5timIty
1t reminded Us at once of the picturesque
end of an immense glacier and the wind
that bew in our faces was tFugly glacial
The ice, which at Fist appeared TO form
one great close wall, proved. when we ap
preached 1t, to lie split into wild masses
and fields; the latter are often miles in
length. Stlll no passage which the cap
tain thought navicable showed itself lie
was surprised to fnd.the ice so far to the
east, as last year ii was not met with Till
Is deg w long The continually shift
ing mist brought Us il the afternoon within
Is PAGES of the ice. By far the greater
part of Ii seemed to have been formed in
the sea the dirty cliffs which come from
the glaciers we're rare. The pieces brought
on board had a rough and porous surface,
and were in a state OF transition from a
crystalline to fibrous condition, being also
full OF vavities filed with air and water.
This proved they we're melting But solid
and c ystalina pieces are to be found. 1t
Is we'll known that the polar ice is free from
ealt, as the water In the process OF crystal

Our first task is now to find the Hanas, to
take the rest Of our coal aud provisions on

soon, We must be content with what we
have, as it is doubtful whether we shall

And hung by his legs from the bowsprit,

When found the body was doubled up
the feet turned up totFT-sHfeek and tied, With
part of her clothing on, an old canvass bag
tied around, and the whole then put in a
shawl with the four corners drawn together
and secured. As to the Identification OF
the body there is no doubt; those who
knew her well recognized her clothing and
one ear ring was found with her initials On
t.
The body had lut recently been deposit
ed where il was found, as the Appearances
indicated having been kept in dry place;
and as il rained hard on Friday night it
