CHAPTER IV. 



GODHAVEN. 



THE voyage from Holsteinborg to Godhaven was rather 

 tedious. Being prevented by fog and ice from at 

 once reaching our destination, I was enabled to dredge, 

 and procured a considerable varietj^ of treasures star- 

 fishes, holothurias, Crustacea, annelids, and shells. 



On the evening of the 10th May we had hoped to be 

 in port, but our wishes were not realised, and we were in 

 much danger. At one time we were startled by finding 

 the end of one of the Kron Prins Islands right under our 

 bow. We had not much time to make our escape, being 

 hardly more than half the ship's length off before per- 

 ceiving our perilous position. At another time we found 

 ourselves within forty yards of a formidable iceberg, 

 which the fog had hindered our seeing.
