Departure from Lievely. 



93 



The weather having cleared a little, the captain 

 determined ujdcxli proceeding to sea, and having 

 bidden farewell to our kind friends at Lievely, we 

 were shortly after eight o'clock steaming out of the 

 harbour, bound, to my great satisfaction, for the 

 north. 



During the afternoon, whilst walking along the 

 beach on our return journey, we heard what sounded 

 to us like the report of artillery. This we attri- 

 buted to the rending and breaking up of icebergs, 

 many of which were aground within a quarter of a 

 mile of the shore. The sound closely resembles 

 that produced by the discharge of heavy ordnance.
