T lar so.-i Ihe channel leading to these waters was en>
tiH i> oev from ice, and this mysbuioqs feature was ren
!‘ ort< m °‘' e remarkable by the existence of a belt of solid
jcj extending one hundred and twenty dive miles to the
sooth ward. This sea verifies the views of Dr. Kane, as
expressed to the Geographical Society, before his depar
tu.e. i tie las"!ung ot thesuif against this frozen beach
ot ico was impressive beyond description. Several gcnile
inen with whom we have eonvtred, speak of this as one
<>i t ic most leinarkabie sights which i hey observed during ,
tne expedition. An area pf three thousand square miles i
nis been seen eirtirely free from ice, and was named I
ahei the lion. J, P. Kennedy, late Secretary of the j
J *ivy, tinner whose auspices the expedition was under- I
taken.

fas high as 82.30. This is the nearest land to the ;
°, : , 0 h hoars the name of Mr. Henry Grin- ■
ned, theTounder of the enterprise.
The Winter of 1854-55.
Iho extreme severity of the previous season made it
evident that die brig cobid not bo liberated before the win *
tot set in. She was fast impounded in the centre of a
lingo field ol ice. The provisions, although abundant, were
noi calculated to resist scurvy, and the fuel, owing to the
emergency of the previous winter, was deficient in quanti
ty. Guder these circumstances Dr. Kane, with a party
o! volunteers—on an attempt to reach the mouth of Lan
caster Sound, in hopes of. meeting the English expedition,
and thus giving relief to his associates—passed in an open
boat over ti e track of Partin’s travel, riding out a heavy
gale. .They found an uninterrupted barrier of ice, ex
tending in one great horseshoe from Jones to MuVfchi*
son’s Sopnd, and were forced after various escapes to re
turn to the brig.
During the winter which ensued they adopted the ha
bits of the Esquimaux, living upon raw walrus meat and
sourioundiug themselves by walls of moss. In spite of
these precautions the scurvy advanced with steady pro*
gress* but by the aid a single team of dogs Dr. Kane
succeeded in effecting a communication with a settlement
of Esquimaux seventy miles to the southward, and by or
ganizing a bunt relieved ihe party. At one time every
man ol the expedition except Dr. Kane and Mr. Bonsel
were confined to their bunks with scurvy ; but by a
providential interposition the party escaped without a
death.
Escape to the South.
The great belt of ice made it clear that no relief expo”
ditious from the South could reach the party in time to
prevent the imprisonment of a third winter, which, with
their deficiencies of fuel, Would have proved most disas
trous, if not (ataL Under these circumstances, Dr. Kane
wisely determined to abandon his brig, and attempt to
escape to the South by a combination of boats and sledges.
In accordance with this view they left the brig on the
17th May, the temperature at that time being five degrees
below zero. They crossed a belt of ice eighty-one miles
in diameter, dragging the boats behind thorn, and carry
ing four of their sick comrades by means of a dog sledge.
After an actual travel of 361 miles, they reached Gape
Alexander and embarked in open water. Their guns sup
plied them with animal food, no provisions being carried
m the boat, excepting, uid tallow.
From Cape Alexander they travelled to the Southward, ,
sometimes over ice, sometimes through water, shooting
duck and seal and collecting enough eggs to keep the par
ty in good condition. At Cape York they burned up
their spare boats and sledges for fuel and left the coast,
striking out into the Ttpen sea of Melville Bay, steering for
the North Danish settlements of-Greenland. Here they
were providentially .landed on the, 6th of August, in vig
orous health, after their travel or 1,300 miles and 81 days
of constant exposure. From Upernivik, ihe largest of
these settlements, they took passage in a Danish trading
vessel for England. *
By great good fortune they touched at Disco, where
they were met by Captain llartstdin’s expedition. This
searching expedition having found thoJcs of Smith Sound
still unbroken, but having communicated with the Esqui
mau/., had h./ard of the departure of Dr. Kane, and re
traced their- steps.
The expedition has to mourn the loss of three of its com*<
rados., two of whom perished by lockjaw, and one from
abscess following a frozen extremity. They may be said
to have fallen in the direct discharge of their duty. Their
names are acting carpenter Christian Ohlsen, Jefferson
Baker and Peter Shubert, volunteers.
