 THE UNPUBLISHED DETAILS.
 Portsmouth, Aug. 9-From one, of the crew of the Thetis were learned a few de- tails of the expedition yet unpublished. At Melville bay the first real difficulty was experienced, and here use was made of torpedoes and dynamite, but neither were found to work well, and ramming the ice produced the best results. Backing the Thetis good distance, and putting on a full head of steam, she would crash into the ice shaking her from stem to stern and rocking her masts like tree boughs. Some times 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 a winch and was driven by steam, making three feet headway per hour. At night the maintop was turned into 'crow's nest, where the lookout was kept. Com mander Schley probably occupied that on the Thetis longer than any other man, his meals being often served there. Entering regions where it was supposed Greedy might be, heavy bass whistles were constantly blown, and in the clear Arctic air the thunderous sound was very wierd.
