 PORTSMOUTH, Aug. 7.-From one O
 the crew of the Thetis were learned
 few details of the expedition yet unpub
 llshed. He said they encountered th,
 first ice between Disco and LittletOI
 island. but that the tickest was found il
 Melville bay, where it averaged ten feet
 At Melville bay the first real difficulty
 was experienced, and here use vas made Of torpedOes and dynamite, but neither
 were found to work well, and rammlng the lee produced the best results. Back. ing the Thetis a good distance, and put. tug on full head of steam, she would crash into tue ice, shaking her from stem to stern and rocking her masts like tree boughs. Sometimes it seemed as If the masts would come out. When all other means failed. huge ice saws, eighteen feet long, with teeth three inches long, were used. The saw was rigged tO winch forward and was driven by steam, making three feet headway per hour. The lee at Melville Bay was mainly broken by ramming. after a check to. their advance for ten days. Al night the maIntOp of each vessel was turned into a "crOw's nest" where the lookout WIS kept. Commander Schley probably occupi ,d that on the Tnetis longer than any other man, his meals being often served there. Naumau, the Ice pilot, was also frequent occupant. Two hourS m each day was a watch at tbis high altitude a.Ove the deck. It It was sometimes a terribly cold sentry box. EnierIng regions where lt was supposed Greely mi Ut be, heavy bass whistles were cont nUally blown. and ID the clear Aictic air the thunderUus SUnnd Was very weird.
