There being no sun nor other heavenly bodies, it is impossible for us to determine the North in the usual way; but we have a method of our own. The meeting has been successfully effected, on the shores of North America, three days since. And all this happened far away to the north, beyond Labrador, beyond Hudson's Strait, where the great tides heave the ice about, north of Melville Peninsula--north even of the narrow Fury and Hecla Straits--on the north shore of Baffin Land, where Bylot's Island stands above the ice of Lancaster Sound like a pudding-bowl wrong side up. |
