The “Fox” left Reikiavik, August 31st, and after a very rough passage,
arrived at Frederickshaab, October 2nd. Captain Young remained there
to make some necessary repairs, and finally arrived at Julianshaab
on the 22nd October. He then reports: “Having made all inquiries
about Igalikko or Julianshaab Fiord, I deemed it advisable at once to
commence a survey of this beautiful arm of the sea, and acting upon the
opinion of Colonel Shaffner, that were this fiord found practicable,
the electric circuit from Reikiavik would not be too extended.”
