[021] I may here mention, that, notwithstanding the heavy blows which
the boats were constantly receiving, all our nautical and astronomical
instruments were taken back to the ship without injury. This
circumstance makes it, perhaps, worth while to explain, that they were
lashed upon a wooden platform in the after locker of each boat,
sufficiently small to be clear of the boat's sides, and playing on
strong springs of whalebone, which entirely obviated the effects of the
severe concussions to which they would otherwise have been subject.

[024] Mr. Crowe, of Hammerfest, who lately passed a winter on the
southwestern coast of Spitzbergen, in about latitude 78 deg., informed me

latitude. Perhaps the circumstance of the reindeer wintering at
Spitzbergen may also be considered a proof of a comparatively temperate
climate.
