A LONG JOURNEY TO THE ICY RE-
GIONS OF GREENLAND.
Preparations are being made for the
dlspatching of the cryOlite fleet to Ivig-
tut, Greenland, for cargoes. Much inter-
est is manifested each season in this
fleet, which is composed entirely Of bark
rigged vessels, each Of which endeavors
to bring at least one cargo from the Icy
regions to these parts. II conditions are
favorable two round trips are made. For
several years past the vast number OF
icebergs near and at the mouth Of the
harbor Of Ivigtut has delayed the craft.
SC that all that most Of them could do
was to make one round voyage. Several
were unable to make even one round
trip. while one bark was wrecked between
two huge icebergs. one vessel has made
the voyage to and from Ivigtut in lit
tie more than a month. while others
have taken as long as four months q
make the journey. Most OF the vessels
will soon be ready to leave for Ivigtut.
There are seven vessels in the fleet, all
Of which will probably start for Ivlgtut
They are the Salina, Captain Salter, 29l
