guelen Land -better known to mil-
ers as desolation Island -in the
Southern Ocean. This, though of
considerable size, and possessing
many fine harbors and much beauti-
ful and picturesque scenery, is quite
destitute of permanent inhabitants,
although resorted to occasionally by
whalers and sealers. It is, perhaps,
the most inbospitable place on earth,
outside the aretie ane Antarctic re-

With the ice -noes of the Antarctic
drift. Its interior, so far as it hos
been explored, is a 'wilderness of gla-

last century, the crew of a British
ship, the Favorite, 'managed to main-

barque, who managed to reach th.e
island, perished to a man of starva-

Since then a depot Las been estab

French and British Governments. In
addition to a plentiful supply of
food, stored in substantially -built
stone huts, there are also spears (for
spearing fish); harpoons for killing
the seals and sea -elephants, which
swarm (more especially the latter) in
the land -locked fjords and harbors;
