The two vessels left Lpernavick. the highest

Visitors vhom thu Ksi?tM.rx.
Iu ihe month of March the party was visited
by some Ksipiiniaux, of whose existence in
that rcpion Dr. Kane was not before aware.
They came iu sledpcs drawn by fine large
dops. evidently of a very superior breed ; these
dops would make a journey of sixty miles a
day fur several weeks, carrymp a sins.de man.
and in some instances two men behind them.
The slodces were curiously formed ; some
were made of hun-ln d pieces of bone lash

A Pleasant Simuf.r.
For nearly two months in the year that

wag verv tine. The sun was up nipht and
day, anil when its beams It'll direct, the tem
perature was comfortable, almost hot ; thu

It was a peculiar fact, however, that while the
sun was hot euoiiph to melt the ice, where its
rays hud full power, thu ice still held Gnu in
tiie shade ; so that 011 the sunny side ice melt
ed, on the other water would freeze. After

Some of the episodes riieonnti red durinir

swept wildly over the Hoes, and ill thn midst
of u heavy falo from the North, the ther
mometer, to their dismay, sunk to fifty-seven
j deprces below zero. Human nature could
i n )t support the terrible cold. 1'our oT the

; were iiostruted with frozen feet, and with
i (front difficulty three of their companions, nf-
ter encountering prcat snlleriiiir reached the
: ship and aiinounceil the condition of their
comrades. Their eliaices of beinir reseued
! seemi i! e.xtn ly small. They were in the
1 midst of the w ilderness of snow, incapable of
, motion, protected only by a canvas tout, nnd
; with no land marks by which their posit:,.ii
could be known. Kven to drap these imiinn d
', ineii would have been, under ordinary cirenm
. stain-i s, a work of dilliculty, but to t he sit n
, del- patty left at the ship,' it seemed to be
j impossible. Dr. Kane, with the boldness
and tourape which jusl illed the warm attuch

to be kept ironi deep by fuice, they struck
lie trail of the lost party, and fin;, fly, stair
ncrinif under their burden--, one by one reach
e.l the tent, which was almost hiifdcu by the
snow.
The scene as Dr. Kane entered the tent,
was effect iitir beyond description. The par
