WHAT THE EXPEDITION ACHIEVED.
WASHINGTON, July 17.-General
Hazen, chief signal officer, received
the following telegram:
ST. JOHNS, n. F., July 17.-For the
first time in three centuries, England
yields the honor of approaching the
farthest north. Lieutenant Lockwood
and Sergeant Brainard, May IL,
reached Lockwood Island, latiHde SO
degrees, "a minutes; longitude Al de-
grees, 5 minutes. They. saw, from
1000 feet elevation, no land north, or
northwest, but, to the northeast,
Greenland yet extended until 1t was
lost to view at Cape Robert Lin
coin, latitude 83 deg. 80 min.; longi-
tude 40 deg. 38 min. Lieutenant
Lockwood was turned back in 1883,
by open water on the north of Green
land. A shore party barely escaped
drifting into the Polar ocean,
DR.. Paney, in 1882, following the |
Markham route, was adrift one day in
the Polar ocean, north of Cape Joseph |
Henry, and escaped to land, abandon
ing nearly everything. In 1882 l |
made spring and later summer trip |
into Greenland, discovering lake Ha
zen, some sixty miles in extent, which |
is fed by aD ice cape of Greenland,
and drains Ruggles' river.
HIGHLY IMPORTANT DISCOVERIES,
From thesummit of Mount Arthur,
5 600 feet high, the contour of land |
west of Conger mountain, convinced |
me that Grinnell land tends directly |
south from Lieut.. Aldrichs' far
thest in 1876. In 1883, Lieut. Lock |
wood and sergeant Brainard crossed |
Grinnen land, and ninety miles from |
Beauteaux Bay, at the head of Ar
cheers ford struck the heal of a ford |
FROM A WESTERN SEA
named, by Lockwood,
Greeley ford. From the centre of
the ford, in latitude 80 30, and longi-
tude IS 30, 1t. Lockwood saw to the
north a shore terminating some
twenty miles west and south, a shore
some fifty miles, with Cape
Lockwood seventy miles distant. ap-
parently the shores of separate land
from Grinnell land. have named
the new land
ARTHUR LAND.
Lieutenant Lockwood followed, GO
ing and returning on ice, a cape about
one hundred and fifty feet in height,
and perpendicular face.
Ii follows that Greenlaud's interior
IS an ice cape, tied with belt of coun
try some sixty miles wide, between
the north and south ice capes.
In March, 1884, Sergeant Long.
while hunting, looked from the north
west side of Mount Carry to Hayes
sound, seeing on the northwest
ern coast three capes west
ward of the furthest seen
by Mares in 1876. The sound extern
led some twenty miles further west |
than is shown by English charts, but |
is possibly shut in by land which |
showed up across the western end.
The two years station duties, obser- !
yations, explorations and the retreat to |
Cape Sabine were accomplished with |
out loss of life, disease, serious acct
dent or even severe frost bites. No
scurvy was experienced at Conger,
and but one death from it occurred
last winter.
(Signed). GREEDY, Commander.

A second dispatch from Lieut..
Greeley is as follows:
ST. JOHNS, n. F., July II, 1884.

Frederick, Long and myself, sole sur
yiyors, arrived to-day having been
