went so miles North of the ship on the
ice and land, and found musk OK tracks
on the land. The sun was nearly gone.

A correspondent says: The expe-
dition had passed what Kane supposed
to be the Polar sea which now proved
to be Sound; be-ond this they pene-
trated into Robeson's 5 channel and were
there on the last day of August, 1871.
Many important circumstances unmis-
takably indicate the existence of an un
frozen ocean beyond the channel. Land
was visible to The North and West of
this body Of water to great -dlstancs.
Now was the time to embrace the pres
elt favorable opportunity which was
liable to be defeated by Il slight sudden
change; and by prompt continuation Of
thyir hitherto successful adventure
achieve the glorious goal for which they
have toiled so much.
