Melancholy as the details are, they possess a deep interest, and may afford useful lessons to future navigators ; we have therefore taken some pains to procure such materials as might enable us to exhibit, in a full and connected view, the occurrences of this calamitous season. We consider ourselves particularly fortunate in having ob- tained journals, written by individuals who were pre- sent at the different scenes of shipwreck ; and these not only give a minute detail of the events, but forcibly re- present the emotions which the view of them excited. A variety of interesting documents have also been re- ceived, from intelligent friends at the respective fishing- ports, in reply to queries transmitted to them on the subject. In tracing the causes of these dreadful disasters, it will be necessary to explain the manner in which mosses of ice are formed, and the positions they occupy.
