LETTER VIL
LIFE AMONG THE ICEBERGS.

Quire a number of voyages have been
made from England, and some from
this country, to the polar seas. Cap-
tain Parry, as I told you in another
letter, commanded one of the expedi-
tions sent there by the British govern-
ment; and if my memory serves me, he
went several times. His account of his
first voyage is exceedingly interesting.
