After nn Arctic ship has safely speut a winter lu her snug harbor of Ice, anch ired more firmly than cau be done by the best t allien of chain or hawser of rope and as the spring is more or less ndvauccd, it becomes imperative to get away from this Arctic snehorage to re sum 1 her operations in the icc-ladeu waters. Even lu the same portal the same time there may be con siderable difference in time between the dates u vessel under steam nnd one uuder sails only would waul to leave the winter harbor. A steam vessel can depart from her anchorage much earlier than, one under sail, from the greater ease with which she can contend against the drifting packs, and always to be expected ice forms and Ice pressures that are particularly heavy anil fre queut at this time under the action of the constant storms; for the ushering in of the Arctic summer, as well a it departure, is strongly assisted by violeut storms sweeping the floating ice before them. The latest time at which the sailing vessel can depart will give her many advantages in the way of saving work. By the time she want to leave the snow will have melted oil the ice, which will save shoveling it away along the part where they expect to saw through It In the undertaking of making au open channel from the ship's post tlon to the water outside in which the vessel can be floated out. If the sailing vessel should wait till very late and in early arctic navigation it was customary for Bitch vessels to delay until they were liberated by the forces of nature, the Ice raelllnir, or till it broke up by some storm much of the ice through which the crew will have to saw may be melt ed, and even a foot or eighteen Inches less seem as if half the labor bad disappeared; so In almost a geometrical ratio does the fatigue of this kind of work increase with the thickness of t lie ice. A favorite way with those understanding the mat ter is to assist the solar rays In cut ting into the ice by sprinkling a wry light coating of black earth along the contemplated scarf lines of the chatinel, which will have to cut into a deep trench by the time sawiug commences, tihould this coating of earth be at all thick it will cut in the opposite way aud be a p'otection from the sun's warmth iustead of acting on the Ice by conducting it and melt ing It foster. Any dark substances is as good as dirt, and a favorite one of the whalers is to take long sfnnds of kelp that have been thrown upon the shore aud stretch litem along the scarf lines of the rbauuel. About the middle of July, while walking ou the Ice of Viutoria chan nel, West of King William's laud, laaw a kelp stock twenty or thirty feet long, probably carried out ou the Ice from the shore iu some heavy storm that had cut its way fully six feet iuto the salt filter Ice, and would btve had only a foot or two more to go to cut clear through and be back lu Its old element. The width of the little channel it cut was not over an inch or two, and one could hardly get his baud in it edgewise, and the only way to have gotten it out would have been with a hook aud liue. If a ship had been iu au harbor near by and used a line of these black kelp stocks to melt the ice wbvre needed, the labor that could have been saved In cutting out is evident to any oue. This was fully, a week or ten days before the Ice broke up, aud I doubt not that Ibis plant bad cut its way through to salt water before that eveut took place. Where the sand aud dirt from shore are carried out on the Ice near by, it Is the first to melt, leaving wide clmiiuel of opsii watur f.om ten to fifty yards, aooordln-c to the shallowness of the water uear the shore, und this fact was deeply impressed ou my mind, us through this water, with its un derlying mud, we had to curry our camping aud cooking ellects every morning und eveulug when loading aud unloading (he sledge, after the now hud disappeared fruu) the land, aud Hie sail water Ice of the sea was the only place we coald sledge, Curing high tide, which only rose a foot aud a half, however, It was sometimes impossible to wade through the combined mud and water, aud a fuvorablo state of the tide, small as it was, would have to be awaited, The various slates of the shore ice have considerable to do with getting out of au co bound harbor In the spring. The best conditions Is where the harbor way la divided liitoaiiiiiiieriind an outer oue, aud Hi outer harbor Is fuuuel shapsd, po that, by cutting ofl a lew of the serrated edires, the whole outer harbor ice Is then floated out at a favorable turu of the tian as a solid piece, or us an icu-llue, to use Arctic parlance. This is especially easy to do where the rise and fall of the tide Is greater than the depth to which the silt water will freeze, (be oscillation of the harbor Ico with these high tides keeping the ice broken up in a hninmocky state along the shores, and consequently requiring but littte sawing or cutting to liberate 'the whole mass. Of course all this requires many favor able conditions, all or wulcli are seldom found In one harbor, the nearest approach to It I ever saw or heard of being in Marble Island harbor In North Hudson bay, where the American whalers cruising lu these waters generally make their winter port. The object of an inner aud outer harbor is that the Ice iu tlie latter may be floated out in tnto, as described above, without cutting a channel through Its whole length. While tlie advantage of an Inner harbor is that it is extremely unsafe to float a vessel out in a solid floe of ice, for should it go to pieces In u violent gale It would be almost sure to prove destructive to her, and the outer harbor ice removed, there is but a short channel to be cut In tlie Inner one to the ship's position. It might be worth while to describe a cutting out of tills harbor as we saw it, as a good typical example of that part of Arctic navigation. The master of the George nnd Mary had not been fortunate lu his fall cruise after wl a'ep, having pecured nene: and in o.der' to Let out of wlutcr harbor very early in the spring, be bad chosenthe outer harbor lu which to spend the winter, us be would cut out before the usual time, which I might say Is about the middle of June. For many days before the actual lubor commenced. the out door exercise of tlie ship's crew, which hud tx-en kept up un remitllngly through the whole win ter, was Blowly Increased, to get their muscles somewhat hardened lor the task ahead of them. The channel to be dug was about half a mile long aud about ten or fifteen feet wider than the ship's beam. This channel is uever brought up directly in the rear of the ice bound ship, but alongside ot her at some distance, fifteen or twenty feet away, forsliould thesliip draw more water than the depth the Ice freezes, and thus subject her to pressure from the incoming or out going tide uuder the ice, this pressure might bo strong euough to tear her loose during a strong flow outward, uud before she hud her spars and top masts aud other appliances taken down the fall before, In order. About the middle of April the huge Ice-Baws are gotten out aud clcauid of rust, and their teeth shaipeued by the ship's carpenter as if some parties aboard had some Immense wood i-awlug coutiact. If the lee is not over three or four feet thick the common one-man ice saw used at liomu in filling up the Ice-houses, may be uutlluleut to cut u scurf through It. With each foot iu thickness au additional tniiti U need ed. That Is with about six or seveu feet of ice the usual thickness iu Marble Islaud harbor three or four man saws are needed for cutting, the saws being a'xmt twelve feet loug. Such length as this makes the saws very heavy, If thick enough uot to wurpiu sawiug, and the labor is very severe In lifting them the full length of the arms to give good "play" to the ice-saw lu cutting, Ii the saw Is uot thick H will cramp with every vuoiug hardness of the ice, and become harder to work than lu thicker Ice, When the Ice gels over ilx or st veil feet thick it be c. m Bpraitically impossible for men lo cut through it with iie-suws worked by baud power. hSucii im mouse slabs of iron would these saw buve to be to do this laborious work, Then a huge trlpud U erected of strong beams aud at the upex hangs a block aud tackle arrungiment by v, hlch a gang of workmen raise ih immeusegaw, its weight being gin rally suftleleut to pull t dowu wht u (he men let go the rope.
