Letters from England. 



In the forenoon we observed and communicated 

 with the " Erik/' bound, like ourselves, for Lievely, 

 as the Danish settlement on the south end of the 

 island of Disco is called. 



As this ship had left Dundee three or four days 

 subsequent to our departure, we had the pleasure, 

 through the kindness of her commander, of receiv- 

 ing letters from England. We also heard that, 

 with the exception of ourselves, the " Narwhal" 

 was the only vessel that had succeeded in getting 

 any fish, she having* been fortunate enough to ob- 

 tain two. 



Our ship has assumed quite a different appear- 

 ance, the crew for the last two days having been 

 actively employed in scrubbing the paint work and 

 cleaning the upper deck generally. 



The contrast is marvellous !
