But their misfortunes did not end hero ; they wer<)() versts from their nearest maj^azines, and the food for the dogs was now barely sufficient for three days. Their joy may be ima- gined when, after a ft^v versts' travelling-, they fell in with Matiuschkin and his p irty, bringing with them an abundant supply of provisions of all kinds. To leave nothing undone which could possibly be effected, Wrangell advanced to the eastward along the coast, past Oa|i(' North, seen in Cook's last voyagt^, and proceeded as far as Koliutsciiin Island, where he found some Tclnditchi, wli-i had come over from Behring's Straits to trade. With this journey terminated W^angell's labours on the coasts, or on the surface of the Polar Sea, and, at the begin- ning of the following winter, we find him takinjr a final leave of Nishne Kolynrsk. On January 10, 18'21', he arrived at Jakutsk, and a few months later at Petersbnref. If we consider the difficulties he had to encounter, and hisuntirinn' zeal and courage, in the midst li privations and danacrs, it is only fair to admit that his name deserves to be ranked among the most distinguished explorers of the Arctic world. m 11 f.
