So strange an accident has happened to us that I cannot forbear recording it, although it is very probable that you will see me before these papers can come into your possession. Last Monday (July 31st) we were nearly surrounded by ice,which closed in the ship on all sides, scarcely leaving her the sea-room in which she floated.our situation was somehow dangerous, especially as we were compassed round by a very thick fog. We accordingly lay to, hoping that some change in will take place in the atmosphere and weather. About 2 0'clock the mist cleared away, we perceived a low carriage, fixed on a sledge and drawn by dog's, pass on towards the north, at the distance of half a mile; a being which had the shape of a man, but apparently of a gigantic statue, sat in the sledge and guided the dogs. We watched the rapid progress of the Traveller with our telescope until he was lost among the distant inequalities of the ice.
