Oct. 26. Fri.--Re-entered LONDON DOCKS.
(_Homeward Voyage, 31 days_.)
The whole voyage occupied 125 days, or close upon 18 weeks.
_August 3rd_, 1888. It is six weeks all but a day since we left
London. We might have reached Hopedale three days ago, for we were
within eighty miles. But a dense fog made it impossible to venture
among the islands, where drift ice might be added to the dangers of
rocks. So we have been driving to and fro for the last three days and
nights over a high sea, studded with icebergs hidden from us by a
thick white mist, which made everything wet and cold.
