‘On the 14th of September Captain Carlsen sailed from 
the Ice Haven, and kept along the east coast of Novaia 
Zemlaia, encountering bad weather and contrary winds, 
but succeeding in his chief object, the circumnavigation of 
the island, which he accomplished on the 6th of Cctober. 
He returned to Hammerfest early in November. 
‘Our chronological summary now brings us to the 
Austrian Polar expedition of 1872. The command was 
intrusted to Lieutenant Payer, an accomplished seaman 
who had served under Captain Koldewey; Carlsen was 
engaged as pilot; and the steamer Tegethof’ was carefully 
.and abundantly equipped for the voyage. The plan laid 
down by Lieutenant Payer was well conceived ; namely, to 
round the north-eastern point of Novaia Zemlaia, and sail 
eastward until he made the extreme north of Siberia, where 
he proposed to winter. In the spring, travelling parties 
would-be sent out on exploring journeys; and the voyage 
in summer would be continued as far as Behring’s Strait,
