ym THE SOUTH POLE. slope through which, as I loss said, one might easily pass as through the clilh What We Know of It—A Wall of lea 150 over Dover. Along this gleaming rampart lloss ran eastward (or 2-V • Feet High. 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 tho south magnetic pole and any a pp r oachcd by any man. . iL.. Ln onlilrl fliioni'Pr nil 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 IF A BODY MEET A BODY tho .remit is a collision, whether v “ coining thro’ tho rye,” or not.
