The hardy veteran was dressed in seal skin trowsers, with the hair out wards, over which he wore a laded na val uniform; and the weather-beaten countenances of himself and his com panious, bore evident marks of the hardships (hey had undergone, altho'

Owing to the rapidity of the (ides and mrenK (he stubborn quality of the ice. and (ho rocky haractcr of the coast, the voyage was extremely perilous. Having experienced several ainio-t mir;nu!ous escapes from shipwrot ks, they ultimate ly succeeded in reaching the 70 degree of latitude, in a diita tioa iiNii due with Fury Point, w da re thei, aane was arresteil ly an inu-iietralile oarrier of pondrous ice. In a harbor w hic h (hey found at this extreme point, they wintered. In January, 18.30, (hey opened a communication w ith a tribe ef native, who had never before held intercourse with strangers. Friend-bin was soon formed betwen (hem and the tars, and the first winter, which was nol very se vere, was spent very pleasantly. Hav ing learned from the natives, that (he cast sea was divided from the west by a neck of land, the point wast xamined, and all hope of etrectiiig a passage in that direction completely extinguished. Commander Ross, (nephew of Captain Ross,) who w as sent to survey the coa-d of (he west sea, leading to Cape Turnagain, succeeded in getting within 150 miles of it, .and w ithin a short distance of where Captain Beck expected Fish river to join the sea. They also determined thai the land was continuous, to lliiit which forms Repul-e Bay. During the autumn of 1 830, the voyagers waited in vain for the ice to dissolve, as il had done the preceding ear. They had not, with great exertion, proceeded more than lour miles, (re tracing tlieir course.) when (hey were arrested, in a very dreary position, by . . lilt the approach ot winter unparaneieo in severity the lowest temperature being 92 degrees below the freezing point. The eomtner proved no less rigorous, for the feasor), little hope was entertained of a release, and a furllier pro-

Captain Ros had a good opportunity of verifying his former survey of the west coast of Ballin's Ray, which eveiy m ister of a (ireenland ship, can testily (o be most correct. Only three men died during the voyage, two of whom ware men whose constitutions were unlit for the climate.
