On the morning of the 14th, as we were getting out at the Dyre Fiord, where we had anchored, we met to our great astonishment the 'Cocyte' proceeding northward. Her commander, Sonnart, informed us that on the evening of the 12th, the 'Saxon' in consequence of the injuries she had received, had been forced back to Reykjavik.
The 'Cocyte' had also been placed at the disposal of H.I.H. Prince Napoleon. This vessel which arrived at Reykjavik the same day that we did, the 30th of June is a steam schooner, with paddles, standing the sea well, carying coals for twelve days, but with a deplorably slow rate of speed.
