safety on Austrian soil number 5000, and are

who have deserted their villages and made for
the hills in Herzegovina. The insurgents

their assistance.

at Disco, after pleasant passage from Eng
land. Both sailed from Rittenbenk July 27,
for Upper Navik. All on board are we'll.
Preparations have been made for pushing on
as far north as possible in the Alert and for
sledge expeditions beyond to the pole.
The Alert, however, will push on as far to-
ward the pole as possible without being beset.
and subsequently return towards us, winter
ing not more than two hundred miles from
the Discovery. Both vessels will then survey
with sledges before the severe winter comes
on. In the spring two of our lieutenants with
sledge parties, will join the Alert, when the
start will be made toward the Pole with six
sledges One sledge will leave the party and
return every week, transferring its surplus
provisions to the others.
LONDON, Aug. 30-A letter written by
member of the Polar expedition, on boird
the steamer Discovery, previous to her de-
parture from r ttenbenk, Greenland, says:
"After leaving the Upper Navik we strike
out in the ice in Melville Bay, which is the
most dangerous part of the voyage. When
we reach open water at the entrance of Smiths
Sound, we make for Carey Island, and thence
proceed up Smiths Sound, making a running
survey of both Sides We shall visit Capt.
Halls grave, at Polaris Bay, then make for
our winter quarters.
"When the exploring party is thus reduced
to one sledge that will push on alone and
distinguished honor I do not know, but I
fancy it will be Commander Markham, of the
Alert. If this is done satisfactorily and all
the surveys are completed, we shall return
home during the autumn of next year, but if
not we shall stay out the second winter. Un-
der any circumstances over which We have
any control, we shall not stay out longer than
that"
