Today in James Fitzjames’s journal — icebergs!! And more Goodsir.
—
29th.— To-day we have had the sea smooth as glass, very cloudy, and a cold air; thermometer 35°; and to my delight passed several icebergs, within a mile of a large one. The effect was very fine, for the horizon happened to be a dark distinct line, and these bergs, catching an occasional gleam of sunshine, shone like a twelfth cake. I had fancied icebergs were large transparent lumps, or rocks of ice. They look like huge masses of pure snow, furrowed with caverns and dark ravines. I went on board the Terror in the evening, for it was quite calm, and found Hodgson better. When we came on board, we pulled up for Goodsir, beasts, star-fish, mud, and shells, from a depth of 250 fathoms, and caught more cod. Last night I remained up till a late hour trying to read a watch by the light of certain blubbers, remarkable jelly-fish, which emit a bright phosphorescent light when shaken in a basin. Land in sign, under dense masses of clouds. We have found the Transport and a Danish brig is close to us.
