wns rcudeicd more remarkable by thoe.x
istenco of n bolt of solid ico extending ono

Kane, as expressed In tho Geographical So

of the surf against this frozen beach of Ice
was Impressive bejood description, and
ouo of tho most remarkable sights ilurig the
expedition. An area of three thousand
miles h been seen entirely free from Ice,
and v, uamtd after lho Hon. J. P. Ken
