1135. The melodies included our Tunes 132, 26, 69, 205, 166, and 146.]

The average duration of the _outward_ voyage with the present vessel
has been 41-1/4 days, including a short stay at Stromness in the
Orkneys. The _homeward_ voyage has been accomplished on an average in
23 days, including the coarse up channel to the West India Dock. The
whole voyage, including the stay on the coast and visit to six
stations there, has averaged 117-3/4 days.

THE TEMPERATURE OF LABRADOR.

At Hopedale, the most southerly of our mission stations,
thermometrical observations during several years give + 86 deg. Fahrenheit
as the greatest heat (July 26, 1871), -104 deg., or 72 deg. below freezing
point, Fahrenheit, as the greatest cold (February 2nd, 1873). The
average temperature for the year is -5 deg. F. For four years the month of
July was the only one in which there was not a fall of snow. The
average temperature of Edinburgh, which lies in about the same degree
of latitude as Hopedale, is + 47 deg. F. At the Hospice of St. Bernard in
the Alps, which is situated at an elevation of 7192 feet above the
level of the sea, the average temperature for the year is not quite
-3 deg. F. There winter and spring are much less cold, summer and autumn
much less warm than in Labrador.
