52 THE NORTH ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH. “ I Rave thought much on your grand enterprise, and though I doubt very much that the telegraph line can be carried across Greenland from the east side, I am convinced that it can be landed in some of the inlets (or fiords) in the vicinity of Cape Farewell, without fear of interruption from ice. “ The drift ice has been very bad this summer, and has deprived me of an opportunity to meet you.” Extracts from a Letter dated Julianshaab, November 2nd, 1860, from Mr. Muller, Governor of the Julianshaab District, a resident of Greenland since 1825. “As a general rule the first drift ice appears in the months of January or February, but it is seldom of such extent as to reach further north than this district. When it does so, it is in the spring months. “ The Spitsbergen ice this year (1860) has beset the coast of this district from the month of January, but at some times not so much as to prevent vessels coming into this port. “ The worst months were June and July and a part of August. The reason that Col. Shaffner’s vessel was able to run into this port so suc- cessfully in the autumn of last year (October 2nd, 1859), was that the ice had long before entirely left the coast; in fact, the ice had gone away in August. “ The Colonel’s ship, without the slightest hindrance, navigated the coast in the month of September, and put to sea from near this harbour in October, 1859. But this year the ice has remained upon the coast longer than ever before within my memory. The coast is usually free from ice during the autumn months.” Extracts from a Letter dated Frederickshaab, October 11th, 1860, from Mr. Twede, Governor of the Frederickshaab District, a resident of Greenland since 1850. “The ice off this coast has continued later this year than it has ever before during my residence in Greenland. During the past ten years, and before this season, the ice on the coast of this and the Julianshaab districts, with but one exception, has never prevented the Julianshaab vessels from sailing direct to this place, and they have generally arrived
