Returned From the North,

San Francisco Oct. 2S.-Captain Newth,
of the whaling steamer Jeanette, who has
arrived from the Arctic. reports that he
reached Crozier channel latitude 7l.30.
longitude 120 west. No other American
vessel has ever made Crozer channel, but
SO years ago, Captain Newth says, three
English vessels wintered at Mercy bay
Branksland. The channel closed up,
however. and the Englishmen were COM
PEELED to abandon their vessels. 1t is a.
very exceptional year when the channels
are free from ice foes. as Captain Newtn
found them. and he says that if he had
had two years provisions with him he
could have made the trip through the
northwest passage to Baffins bay Cap
tain Newth says that Melville sound
would prove the richest field for whales if
the current was not so strong. As it is
vessels of light power cannot stand the
strain. Whales follow the feed wherever
the current carries it, and the Jeanette
crew saw hundreds of them feeding in
Melville sound.
