A mystery has for ages hung over
these famed waters. The most vague ideas,
the most wild and erroneous impressions
have prevailed ; and travellers, who haw
strayed on its shores and glanced at their
mournful solitudes, have given their crude
and. imperfect observations, and added to the
existing stock of wonders and horrors so
widely diffused. So well known as are most
parts of the earth, to which great. historical
events have imparted a deep interest, it was
time that some adventurous spirit should
arise in our age, and that science should.
lift the veil from the doubt and uncertainty
that shrouds the subject. That spirit was
Lieutenant Lynch of our Navy, : and our
country had the honor - of embarking in the
enterprise." Pubiic curiousity was keenly
excited. The truth was a great considern
turn. The time had passed by when the
wondrous tales of travellers are swallowed
with credulity. ; and men were prepared to
glean facts and phenomena from. an authen--
tic source, and to: draw deductions for them
selves. The present is an investigating
and 'a reasoning age, and nothing but truth,
tvell-established truth, will - satisfy it.' It can
not be denied that our commander has ex
hibited,great zeal and energy ; that he has
shown great firmness and tact in surmolint-,
ing obstacles; acute observation, and the,
greatest industry in collecting facts. His
preparations were made with judgement,
and an admirable precaution. Every sup
posed difficulty was anticipated and guard-.
ed,agaiast. . The equipment. was complete.

We have gone somewhat into these three
points, because in the Apoerapha, in the
Wisdom of Solomon, x. 7, they are alluded
to in speaking of the cities of the plains,.
From constructions put upon this passage,
and trona the representahuns.of some trav
ellers, the.4e errors, so generally einertained,
seems to have sprung. 'l'hat the water
from the impregnation of salt and bitumen
is greatly heavier than the ocean, our trav
ellers declare, as well as the fact of its ex
treme buoyancy - . Many curious illustra
tions of these !acts are gi venon Mr. Lynch's'
book, to which we refer the reader, and
which have been mentioned by' many oth
ers. Many annoying and peculiar sensa
tions and effects resulted from bathing. A
highly irritated state of the skin, and febrile
symptoms, and prostration of strength seem
to be the eikCt produced on the system by
the totettbe heat and the quality of the wa
ters. The leafless branches of the bushes
on the shores were encrusted with the salt,
and sparkled like icicles in the sun. The
copper boat, wnen overhauled, was found
to be wearing away rapidly, and when ex
posed to•the immediate friction of the fluid,
was us bright as burnished gold. Theshores
presented the appearance, from the incrus
tation ofsalt, of being whitewashed. The
very footprints upon the beach were coated.

facts mentioned by Lieutenant Lynch. Tee
statement is confirmed, that no living thing
is found in these waters, which, when suli,
jected to a powerful microscope, exhibit no
animalcule) or vestiges. of animal matter..
Though birds are comparatively rare, yet
they were occasionally met with, and wild
ducks were often seen, flouting on the sea.
Taus the idea of the atmosphere being fatal
to birds passing over the waters is a 'insta
-1 ken 'one.
We.have thus given a short and conden
sed view of the subject, stating.those pheno
menu which we deemed most interesting,
and those facts which are the most striking
and important. The world is indebted to
