He has arrived at Co' penhagen tn route thither, and writes back: I intend to travel bv means nf A b. J J OILUJitJ, ut Ltexpect considerable trouble in getting v,,,,,iii uuyu country wnicu inter venes between the coast and the interior snow. The latter, when reached, I expect will be tolerably easy travelling. The in tenor of Greenland is at present entirely unknown, and no serious attempt has ever been made to explore it. The two or three excursions which have been made by Danes toward the interior during the present cen tury have experienced no greater difficulties than might be expected from inadequate time and imperfect means. Dr. Hayes has, however, on more than one occasion, mndp excursions toward the interior, With consid- eraoie success, and has managed to travel occasionally as much as thirty-five or forty miles in a day. There is no reason to sup pose that the interior presents extrHnrdm. ry difficulties fort travelling, and there is I suuu reason 10 oeiieve that it id something better than a dreary waste of snow and ice. Not only ar traditions to be met with among the Greenlanders that the interior is a fer tile country, but it is made almost a cer tainty by the fact that the countless herds of reindeer which occasionally visit differ ent parts of the coast alway retire towards the interior where they are not followed. These herds of reindeer are so vast in num bers that they must require for sustenance a considerable amount of food: nnd hnf.A it is believed by many who are best acquain ted with the subject, that the interior, if not a fertile, must be very far from a bar ren country. The unconquerable aversion of the natives to travel over the Snow hna proved hitherto the greatest difficulty in the way of visiting the interior. Thpv hnv traditions of a savage, cannibal people liv ing on the. other side of the range of moun- uiuis wnicn Dounus t he view from TW;a strait; and others of a ferocious wild hens ,, ,. .... . f Amarok, which has uever, however, !,'en known to be seen, much less taken. hut largest pat ot their avers on tn r.. .L 1 . . . . . . . ... 1 avel ovcr n,c snow ls derived from their fe;irof the crevasses, which it covers and con ceals, and into which they have oftentimes fallen.
