JULES VERNE SEA. STORY; THE EXPEDITION OF THE BRIG i IELXK-HAKUIE* AND SOME TRAG- t K EVENTS CONNECTED THERE- t wra. a literally "The brave young (person)" I f« applied to tbc vorael, "The brave t yoaag laas." 1 (Translated for the Star and Wave) t < ( Continued) J V I July 23d. a reflection raised above the j tee announced the first ice -bergs which, ♦•flowing Davis" Strait, rushed into the < iraan. From this jmoment the lookout < was directed to give very viligant at- | laation to bis duties for it was import- | t at not to come into collision with these , Saarmous masses. The "Jeune-Hardie ' < Jatered soon into a channel so na.row . that often the ends of the yards chafed ■ against the bergs and caused the dO'it.s | Is turn in -board and the vessel to dc- , risis from her course. Tlicy were even • sbligi-d to brace the main yard hard | s gainst shrouds. Happily this arrangement did not cause the brig to lose its , t eadwav for the wind filled the higher • sails and this was sufficient to drive the ; camel ahead rapidly. Thanks to the ] fas lines of the bull it plunged through , the narrow channel which was filled , •.ith a whirl of spray while the ice . I.eiy crunched against each other with , ■ iaaster crackings. Finally the brig afcr many windings in and out, arrived ; r.t Oape Brewster. The long boat was lowered into the sea mid Jean Cornbutte j nal Penellan rowed to the shore, which hey found entirely d<-sorted. They returned to the vessel and. at •ara, the brig made for Liverpool Is- f. land, discovered in 1R21. by Captain ♦onresby, and the crew uttered joyful Asutt at se<>ing the natives gathering ■pan the shore. Communication was immediately established, thanks to Penflan. who knew some words and comaan phrases of their language, and it vaa h-artu-d that' they had heard of some balers Who frequented these shores. The captain zucroeded in making the radices understand that he was in search tf a wreeked schooner and he asked of Irani if they had any knowledge of audi s vessel. One of them then drew upon dke snow a sort of vessel and indicated ■at a vessel of that kind had been, within three months, carried away to *• northward. He indicated, also, that thaw and the breaking of the ice Mas. had •prevented them from going I t» its assistance. In fact, their light ■moea which they pro|ielled by means £ paddles were not strong enough to faatify attempting to force their way tb*ugh the icy water. Chi* news though not very definite, renewed hcqs- in the hearts of the sailors and Jean Cornbutte had no difficulty in nerauading them to cqntinuc voyaging apon the polar sea. Before quitting Liverpool Island, tlie Captain purchased a team of six Esquimaux dogs for which quarters were immediately prepared on beard the brig. The anchor was raised an the morning of August 10th, and driven by a strong wind, the vessel entered the channels leading northward. : After two days the brig lost sight of Liverpool Island, and the weather suddenlv became much colder under the inlieeame colder I

fcienee n* a dry and frigid wind- Indi- i »ation- of winter began to appear. The , •fleunc- JTardie" had not a moment to < lose, for soon, the channel bade fair to < become ah-olntely closed. She advanced. | then, through channel- which gave her j barely thirty feet of |mssage way. On i •ie morning of September 3d, the l "Senile liar, lie" sighted the hills sur- , rounding Gael-Ifawkes Bay. about thirty i miles distance. Now for the first time i •ie brig was stopped before an ice-berg ' which entir-dy closed the channel and ' measured no'. less t'-«n a inllc in width. , it was -neeesssrv C> n to employ the— . saws to rut the ii— IVnellaii. Anpic, Oradlin and Turqniette agreed to man- ' ipulafc the »aws. and they were at once placed in position outside the ship. Tbe cuts were made so that the current oarried away the pieces of ice detached from the berg. The crew s|s-nt nearly twenty hours at this work. The men fbund it extremely dif cult to hold them selves upon tlio ice. Often they were ! forced to stand in the water up to their i ' Waists and their seal-akin clothing'pro- j tected them very imperfertely from the' gampncai. Moreover, in these high latitudes, all hard work is soon followed by exhaustion and shortness of breath, so that fcc most robust are compelled to rest frequently. Finally a way was open mi navigation made possible and the brig was towed out beyond the ice-berg stfiich had delayed her progress for so a time. yfluriag some days yet, the "JeunefMrflie" struggled against almost insnri table objects. The crew constantly ■pmd it necessary to saw away the ice •y hand; often they were even cm|Myed to make use of powder to blow I ■p the enormous blocks of ice which •Detracted their passage. , bept^nber 19th, the brig safely and wDDy anchored upon a good bottom,

within two cable-lengths of the shore, in a bay which seemed to be an uxcelleut place in which to winter. From the day following her arrival, the ice already foriAed around her hull and almost immediately it became strong enough to ■ support the weight .of a man and communication was established directly with l the shore. Preparations for wintering continued ; about three weeks. The business in then, was to extend the search in i the adjacent lands and sea. The ship ' imprisoned in the ice for six or seven months and the next thaw ohly ' opened her a new route through the ice. was necessary then, in order to profit this frozen immobility, to make exploration toward the north. October 9th Jean Cornbutte held a consultation in order to arrange bis plan of operations and increased the zeal and the courage of each he admitted to it all of the crew. The chart showed cleSfly their situation. The eastern Bide of Greenland extends perpendicularly toward the north. The discoveries of navigators have given the exact limit of 1 these shores. For a distance of five hundred leagues which .separates Greenland 1 from Spitzberg, the laud had not yet sighted. A single island. Shannon Island, w-as found a hundred miles north 1 of the Gael-Hawkes Bay, where the ' "Jcune-Hardic" had- wintered. If then '■ the Norwcigi&n vessel, .following the 1 probabilities, had been dragged along in 1 this direction, supposing she had been I able to reach this island, it was here ' that Louis Cornbutte and the wrecked 1 sailors, must have sought a refuge for ' the winter. I I This view prevailed and it was agreed 1 j t hat the seareli should be undertaken on ' j this side of this island, i I Tlie preparations for the journey was completed on Octolier 20th. The young ' girl could not be deprived of the care of ' i Jean Cornbutte and Penellan, and, ' neither of these could fail to accompany I the searching party. The thing to be I discovered then was whether Marie felt 1 able to endure the hardships of such • a journey. So far she had passed - through her rude experiences without 1 too much suffering. She was the daugh- - tor of a sailor accustomed from childhood to the hardships of the sea and ' Penellan was not much alarmed in see- ' ing her in this frightful climate, stragf gling against the dangers of the polar ' seas. They decided, therefore, after a > long discussion that the young girl i should accompany the expedition and • that it might be necessary to reserve • a place upon the sledge for her, whpre t they constructed a little wooden hut, » .tightly closed. As for Marie, she raised { her eyes at this, for she did not like the t idea of being too far away from her two 8 protectors. » The expedition was then formed thus: f Marie. Jean Cornbutte, Penellan. Andre Vasling, Aupic and Fidele Misonne. - Alain Turquette remained specially 8 charged with the care of the brig, as1 sisted by Gervique and Gradlin. ? Provisions of all sorts were carried, for ' Jean Cornbutte, in order to be able to t continue the explorations as long as b possible, had resolved to place cache- ® of food along the route on each of the d seven or eight days of their journeying. I . As soon as the sledge was ready it was - : loaded up and cove: ed With a tent of j buffalo skins. The total weight was f . seven hundred pounds and attached to it - j were five dogs who easily dragged it over the ice. ' 1 i e
