Make some short journeys of exploration while the scrap of twilight yet remains to me, and as soon as the men were free I set them to work preparing some conveniences for camping out. I have been ready for several davs, but the weather has been unfavorable for a' any thing more than a few hours' absence ; and so our life runs on smoothly into the night. I had to-day a most exhilarating ride, and a very satisfactory day's work. I drove up the Fiord in the morning, and have returned only a short ...time since. This Fiord lies directly north of the harbor, and it forms the termination of Hartstene Bay. It is about six miles deep by from two to four wide. Jensen was my driver, and I have a superb turn-out, twelve dogs and a fine sledge. The animals are in most excellent condition, every one of them strong and healthy ; and they are very fleet. They whirl my Greenland sledge over the ice with a celerity not cal- culated for weak nerves. I have actually ridden be- hind them over six measured miles in twenty-eight minutes ; and, without stopping to blow the team, have returned over the track in thirty-three.
