GREENLAND VOYAGE.

skinned, broiled, and eaten on the spot. 
When wc landed at Cape Stewart, which was 
at 10 li 30 in a. M., apparent time, of the 27th 
of July, the tide had ebbed, as observed by its 
mark on the shore, about two feet perpendicular; 
and at 30 m past twelve, it seemed to be at the 
lowest, after which it began to flow. At this 
time (neap-tides), the rise and fall appeared to be 
three or four feet perpendicular. The flood-tide, 
on this part of Jameson’s land, sets along-shore to¬ 
wards the WSW. (per compass); ebb-tide ENE., 
at the foot of Neill’s Cliffs : but it is probable that 
the tide divides here about, different streams pro¬ 
ceeding up the different inlets. 
Striking is the contrast between the appear¬ 
ance of Jameson’s Land and the southern coast of 
Scoresby’s Sound, extending from Cape Brewster, 
westward. Jameson’s Land, and, indeed, the op¬ 
posite side of Hurry’s Inlet also, has a consider¬ 
able resemblance to the coast of Shetland in win¬ 
ter, being a dark coloured, naked, comparatively 
low, and undulating land, and giving rise to no 
icebergs: but the southern coast is a bold and 
mountainous country, much of it ice-clad, and of 
a beautifully interesting character. In its moun¬ 
tainous elevation and contour, it resembles the
