The party left st. Johns. N. f., June rs,

of Labrador.
Unfavorable winds and large fields OF
ice intervened, and after two months of
sailing Nachvak. the first port south or
Cape Chidley, was reached. AS the ad-
vantages for investigation were just as
favorable there as at the more northern
port, Il was decided to remain at this
place.
The professor, who Is a very interest
ing speaker, says AT no time were
we IN the least danger. When the drift
ing ice was encountered we always made
some port safely, where we remained
till further progress could be safely and
conveniently made.
'In fact, the repeated delays on the
coast increased our opportunities for
carrying on our Investigations. As "A re-

AT Green's Pond island we were de-
layed several days on account OF unta-
vorable winds Our next delay was at
Kirpoon harbor. the northernmost point

There we remained for nine days.
Then we crossed over to the Labrador
coast. where we were delayed at several
other ports; at all of them. as II has
proved, to our advantage"

accounts for the lack or a message from
