From Camel’, Family Magazine.
The golden ngc of anlartie rliscov
cry arrived when Captain, afterward j (g bulb (l f which occasions he
Sir James Ross, was dispatched fiom
reached the
.... , ..igh latitude of
England in’ 1840 to fix the position of 80U i|, j which has never since

other position he could discover on
the way there. Before Ross could
reach the scene of his labors other
explorers, English, French and Anier-
can, were busy forestalling him. < >f
these the first was the Englishman,
Ballcny, who, sailing in Enderby s
ship, the Eliza Scott, discovered in
1839 the islands which bear his name,
and which lie almost under the ant-
artic circle and almost due south from
New Zealand. Ballcny could not
land on the islands, hut he -unde sure
of their existance, and afterward, sail
ing far to the westward, he saw many
more signs of land and suspected the
existence of much which he could
not certainly vouch (or. What Bal
lcny thought he saw was probably
much what the French expedition
under Dumont d'Urville actually did
see in the following year, several long
lines of coaBt, which might be joined
to one another, and might even run
oh to join Enderby land in the west,
and if so might certainly be parts of
the antartic continent that D’Urville
was anxious to find. Not less anx
ious was Wilkes, the leader of the
United States expedition, who,
only a month after the Frenchman
arrived within a degree or two of the
antartic circle, to the south of New
Zealand, and after seeing land where
Ballcny had certainly seen it before,
began to famy that lie saw it also
where none had seen it before, and,
unfortunately where no one has seen
it since. For some days, indeed,
Wilkes doubted whether what lie
beheld were mountains or clouds, ob
jects which his crew watched eagerly
to see if, with the setting sun, they
would change their color. But after
running westward along the pack for
a few days he made sure that he now
saw land, and somewhat inconsequent-
Jy assumed it for certain that what he
had seen before was land also. The
discovery of an antartic continent was
announced as a certainty; a very large
land, with a range of mountains up
on it was laid down on the map, and
a copy of the map was handed by tho
rash but generous explorer to Ross,
who left Tasmania in the autumn of
the same year to look for the magnet
ic pole, with the two ships Erebus
and Terror, which afterward bore Sir
John Franklin to his fate at the oth-
• cr end of the world. Ross bad so
little doubt that the antartic conti
nent wits discovered already that he ]
seems to have been almost disap-
pointed when bis way to the magnet
ic pole was barred by an unknown
land. Yet this land, which lay-
south of the seventcith parallel and
eastward of Balleny’s islands, was the
most southerly hitherto seen in the
world, and on it rose mountains
thoueaqjja of feet high, plain and
mountain alike robed in stainless
mow, except on the cliffs by the shorc t
Where the black rock came out. The
coast ran almost due north and south
and along its eastern face Ross ad
vanced steadily until lie had beaten
Cook’s record and also Weddell s, and
gone futlicr south than any before
him. But he could find no landing
place on the mainland, so choked was
every inlet with snow and ice; only
a small island were the adventurers
able to touch antartic earth, a few
men among thousands of screaming
and biting penguins. Fresh moun
tains came constantly into view as
they moved southward, at last one in
latitude 77°, over which what seemed
a cloud of snow was blowing but
when they came nearer they saw that
the cloud was smoke, and gave the
name of Mount Erebus to a giant
volcano higher than Etna, which
belches forth smoke and Tfirfc in A land
where all* things arc frozen. Before
Mount Erebus'lies Cape Crozicr, and
round Cape Crozicr Ross hoped to
find a way westward, so as to reach
the magnetic pole by the back of the
new land he had found. But
they approached they saw stretch
ing from Cape Crozicr “as far as the
eye could discern to the eastward”
a "low white line,’-' the nature of
which they did not understand till
they came close enough to see the
truth with their eyes. It was a wall
«f ioe 150 feet high, without break or
miles, nnd in the succeeding year,
1842, for 200 more without coming to
