1. Lut the real of the expedition is the open 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. ! l e 1 uid to tne north and west of this channel has been j 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. COMMERCIAL.
