When the promoters of the North Atlantic Telegraph were about to fit
out expeditions for the purpose of examining a practicable route,
_viâ_ the Færöes, Iceland, Greenland, and Labrador, by which to form a
telegraph communication between England and America, I volunteered my
services for the land portion of the survey.
In this paper I will give a brief account of my observations, and of
information obtained from reliable sources regarding the nature of the
lands travelled over, and their suitability for the objects of the
telegraph.
