In the Midst Of Dense smoke.

An Ottawa (0nt.) telegram says: The
officers Of the Government arctic steamer
Alert, which has Just returned from an eX-
ploring expedition to Hudson's bay, re-
port a strange phenomenon which they cX-
perienced during their recent voyage. The
story is told as follows: southampton
island was made al noon on the 2Sth OF Au.
gust. the compass working very badly.
Leaving there after taking observations the
vessel proceeded TO Digs, but on account
Of bad weather did not arrive there
until the 30th. During the night
Of the Goth il got unusually dark, the air
being filed with dense smoke, which
smelled Ike burning pitch. The sea, it is
represented, was literally on fire, while on
the deck OF the steamer the smoke was so
thick that one could not see his hand be-
fore him. A furious gale was blowing at
the time. and the lead was the only guide.
Captain Gordon, commander o! the eXpe-
dition, reports that he Is Of the opinion
that great fires were raging in the centre OF
Labrador, and that the dense smoke aud
heat which about that time was experienced
along the coast from the Gull OF ST. Law
renee 10 Cape Breton were due to tins
cause.
