Cherry island lies 1,4OO miles directly
north Of Sweden and is the dividing
line between the Greenland and the
Barents' seas. A line drawn from east
to west would strike Nova Zembla
ON the one end and Hudson's Land
on the other. There are about
60 days in the year when the
island enjoys the heat and the
venture Of summer, but during the re-
maiEder there are such cold and bleak
ness and loneliness as man can find no
where else outside of the north pole it.
self. In the deep, dark ravines the
earth has never thawed since frozen
tens of thousands of years ago, and on
the north side are blocks of ice which
were cast up there when the Creator
was seeking to bring order out of
chaos.
In the year 1860 an English scientific
society fitted out what was known as
the Cherry island expedition. 1t was
purely in the interest of natural his
tory Certain fish and birds which had
become extinct in the south were still
to be found up there, according to the
reports Of whalers, and that was the
object in fitting out the brig Albatross
for voyage from London. Aside from
n 81, 1a1
and four or five students accompanied
the expedition and after a voyage al
most without event we reached Cherry
island soon after the beginning of it's
brief summer. The last 200 miles of
our run was made through field ice,
with giant icebergs to be seen on every
hand, and we found a great length of
shore piled high with blocks of ice
from to 25 feet thick. 1t was three
days job to warp the brig into safe
anchorage on the south side of the
island, and when we had her secure
most of the people went ashore to live
for time in tents. Notwithstanding
the sunshine and verdure, there was a
loneliness about the place to make one
afraid. We had expected to find polar
bears and rabbits in plenty, but there
was not bit of animal life, excepting
a few stray seals, to be encountered.
Birds there were in plenty, however,
and Of the species desired, while fish
of all sorts were to be had for the cast
ing of hook. Each professor had
his work cut out for him, and was
attached to Professor John Saunders
Of the Royal museum as a helper. He
was after birds and their eggs, and
when we had been on the island week
l helped him to capture specimen of
the great aux, which species was sup
posed to have been extinct for quar-
ter of a century past But three of
these birds were seen during our stay
Of 40 days, and we took one away with
us into captivity which lasted for
ten years. 1t was said that the cap
ture Of this bird alone was worth more
to natural history than the cost of the
expedition.

came. There should be boat frozen
up in the wall between us and the
sea-
We had nothing to make a torch Of
and, retracing our steps to a point
where we could climb out of the ra-
vine, we left the mystery to be solved
another day. There was much discus
sion around the campfres that even
ing, and early next morning we set out
to see if the ravine had once upon
time opened to the sea. We soon
found that it had. It's mouth had been
in small bay, but storm had filed
it with powders and damned back the
waters flowing down. Between the
sea and the spot where we found the
body the ice was from so to 20 feet
thick. If the sun melted it for a few
feet in the summer, the rains and
SHOWS of winter speedily replaced
what had been lost. We found this
ice as clear as glass and as hard as
iron, but powder was brought from
the brig, and holes were drilled, and in
couple Of days we had blasted out
great rift to half it's depth.
Everybody had a suspicion of what
was frozen in down there, but yet the
discovery gave us a shock. When but
80 feet of ice lay between US and the
bottom of the ravine we could see
through it well enough to make out
the hull of a ship standing on an even
keel. 1t was the hull of a brig, with
masts gone, but otherwise intact. Wei
could even make out the ropes which
had been frozen stiff as iron while
they streamed along her decks, but
there were no bodies of dead men in
sight To blast out the remaining
depths of ice and clear the ravine was
a task requiring more aid than we
could spare and more powder than we
had aboard. We had to be content
with what we could see.
Years before-perhaps half a century
"a merchant vessel had made that
little bay in distress. Wave and tide
had carried her up to the creek, and
wave and tide had blocked her exit. |
Then she began to freeze in. No man
can say how long it took for the ice to
bury her until it was solid mass 60
feet above her decks, but decades must
have passed. If one of her crew got |
away up to the ravine why not all of |
them? And yet no other body or re
mains were to be found on the island |

tain, probably started out by himself !

was scarce "a hope for the others. If |
they left the hulk they were forced to |

and they hid away in forecastle and |

IL miles long by 5 in breadth and at
the time of our visit had no tree higher
than ten feet. These grew between
powders and on the slopes, with
patches of coarse grass all about, but
there was not level spot half an acre
in extent on the whole island. 1t was
intersected in every direction by ra-
vines, some shallow and some of awful
depth, and during storm, when the
surf was bringing in great blocks of
Ice and heaving them upon the rocks,
there were rumblings and echoes in
those dark ravines to make man pale
with fear. We had been on the island
about 30 days and had pretty thorough
ly explored it when Professor Saun-
ders and my humble self met with an
accident one day which led to a most
strange discovery. We had set off to-
gether on hunt after birds eggs, and
in walking along a slope we struck a
spot overgrown with a short green
weed. AS we walked over this bed we
suddenly found ourselves slipping.
There was water under it, and the
whole mass gave way and sent us slid
ing into a ravine. We went slipping,
sliding, clutching and humping full
so feet before we brought up, but nei-
Their of us was hurt beyond few
bruises. Owing to the wet grass we
could not Chamber out at that spot and
so continued on down the ravine. Hav-
ing presently come upon few bones,
which the professor pronounced as be-
longing to a polar bear, we decided to
follow the ravine to it's mouth. 1t led
almost north and south. 1t was dry
now, but there were times when it
must have been filed with water from
bank to bank.
1t was toilsome journey we made,
but it ended at last at wall of ice
within half mile of the surf. At that
point the depth Of the ravine was
about 100 feet, and, though the sun
was shining above, it was like evening
down there. A few yards before we
were brought to standstill we found
the body of a man lying against the
wall of rock on the right hand side
and ten feet above our heads. 1t was
caught and held fast on a point of rock.
We were both a good deal startled by
the grewsome sight. and had it been a

The cold had preserved the flesh to

water running down the ravine had
