UPERNAvIK, Greenland, Aug. 5.-Godhayn, on Disco
Island, the only place visited since my last
letter, is the port which the U. S. 81 Congress
came TO in 1871 and deposited stores for Capt
Halls or the Polaris Arctic Expedition. We left
Holsteinborg on the 21st of July, at 2:SO p. m,
and reached Godhavn at p. m. on the I'D. Green
land is divided into two lnspectorates, each
comprising several settlements or towns; and
each settlement is presided over by Chief
Trader aud his assistant, appointed by the
Danish Government, which governs all the
affairs of Greenland. Mr.. Muldrap, the Governor Of
Godhayn. is a fine young bachelor, % years Of age
The harbor of Godhayn is perfectly landlOoked and
protected from all gales and if we were obliged to
winter here think Godhavn would be preferable to
aay other harbor We have here in Greenland, though
IL is hardly large enough for than two vessels
to swing comfortably at their anchors, while there
is depth of water enough at the entrance to permit
good sized iceberg to float IN. While we were lying
there two medium-sized bergs did come in and
caused no incOnsiderable trouble for time. while
we were trying to keep them from humping against
the vessels side We finally fired into one of them
with one of our sixty-pounders. and reduced it to
small fragments. ..u .....-
On one side of us lies the town while on the other
are two table mountains rising to an altitude Of
200 feet with nearly vertical sides though from the
ship they look comparatively easy to climb. One
day wetook journey to the mountain AS We as

the mountain another one abruptly presented Itself
We finally arrived at the level. about l'5U 1eel
