From tile bay oreea only two very small fishes were taken during the entire two years, and very few ere to be found north of Cape fiablne. The vegetation at Lady Frank lin Bay is about the same as at Cape Sa bine, and comprises mosses, lichens, wU- lows and saxefrage. Snow storms are of courso most frequent and rain falls very rare. The highest velocity of wind was registered during a terrific snow-storm—seventy miles per hour. Lockwood’s trine to tbe north in 1882 and 1883 were productive of most val uable results. Standing on the lOtli of May In each year where I)r. Hayes had formerly stood at about the same day, Lockwood, from an elevation of 2,000 feet, using his strongest gtsss on Hall’s baain andltobeson channel, could discover noth ing but icepacks. Here it was Dr. Hayes claimed to have seen his open polar sea. On the trip of 1882 Lock- wood reached the highest latitude ever attained—83 degrees 25 minutes north. This was about 300 miles directly north of Lady Franklin Bay; but to get there he traveled over 1,000 miles, open water and broken packs frequently caus ing him to retrace bis steps 50 miles. Lock- wood sounded the sea both years between Cape Bryant and Cape Britannia, but could not touch bottom with 135 fathoms of line. Markham, a few years before, about 100 miles to the west, got bottom at neous observations of all physical pbenotu- 72 fathoms. Lockwood fouud at his fur- “ , were to be taken.

Tbe party was conqioscd of three officers of the army, one acting assistant surgeon and nineteen enlisted men selected by recommendation from the ranks of the . fay. Stores for twenty-seven months were put on the Proteus for the party. The Proteus steamed away from St. John, N. F., July 7,1881, with the party on board. She touched at Disco Island and Upernavlk to procure sledges, dogs, skins and dog food. Two Esquimaux were added to tire party at Proven. A landing was made at Carey Island in North Water, and provi sion! cached by Narta in 1875 in the Alert were foaod in good condition. At Littlq- tnn Island Lieutenant Greet/ personally recovered tire English Arctic mail Wt by Sir Allan Young in the Pandora in 1878. At Carl Ritter Bay, in Kennedy channel, a cache ol pro. visions lor nseon the retreat was mede. It was the original intention to eatalilirii the polar station at Water Conrae Bey, but the hesry messes of Ice which were enmunt end rendered Water Course Bay an ex ceedingly dangerous anchorage. Moving to Discovery Harbor a station was there estaUnbed on the site occnpied by the Dogfish expedition of 1875. Tbe erection of s bouse was at onco commenced sad tbe stores and equipments were landed. On the 2stb of August came tbe parting between tbe Greely party and tbe men ot the L’rotcus.
