Baldwin In Arctic Region.

The steamer Frithjof, arrived at Hammerfest, reports that she successfully landed the Baldwin-Zeigler arctic expedition at Camp Zeigler, in latitude 80.24 north, longitude 55.52 east, on Alger island. All the members of the expedition were in good health and the dogs and ponies were in excellent condition after their month’s voyage. The Frithjof left Camp Zeigler August 23. The weather conditions were favorable for an advance of the expedition. Mr. Baldwin intended to start northward August 24 by what is called the interchannel route, across Markham sound and between Austria sound and the British channel.
