Immediately afterwards His EXCELLENCY rose and said-Professor Nordenskiöld: In the name of my Sovereign, Queen Victoria, I have the honour to welcome you and your companions to Her Majesty's dominions.
Six centuries ago Marco Polo came from Europe to China. Two centuries later, the Portuguese crossed the Indian Ocean, entered these seas, and landed within a few miles of this Island, and subsequently the direct voyage across the Pacific was undertaken. The nine. teenth century can now add to the roll of its triumphs the fourth and final route from Europe to Asia. It is our privilege to-night to behold the illustrious man who has done this-who left Europe fifteen months ago and is received by us. after sailing through the Artão Ses and accomplishing the North East passage. No generation to come can witness the completion of a voyage rivalling this. We be bold as it were in this remote outpost of Europe the writing of the last words in the last chapter of heroic maritime discovery.
I congratulate the Sovereign of Sweden on the gallantry and success of His Majesty's sailors, led by Captain Palander and the officers of the Vega: I congratulate that great republic -the World of Science-on the achievement of one of her choicest citizens, Professor Norden- skiöld. Ladios and gentlemen, let us drink his health and that of his companions.
His Excellency's toast was received with en- thusiasm, and the band played the Swedish Na- tional Air.

Professor Nordenskiold then rose and replied in Swedish. He has favoured us with the following translation I have to thank your Excellency, on behalf of my comrades and myself, for the kind words you have used in pro-i posing our healths, and the ladies and gentlemen present for the kind manusr in which they have received the toast. Already to-day, in another place, I have had to thank the Inhabitants of Hongkong for the handsome way in which the Swedish expedition has been received in this Colony, and I then stated our visit here would be one of the pleasanted remembrances of the Vega's voyage. To your Excellency's guesta on the present occasion I beg to repeat the same thing, but especially I have to thank your Ex- cellency for the munificent hospitality you have extended to myself and Captain Palander at Government House, where we have been guests during our stay here. I now beg to propose the! health of His Excellency the Governor and Mrs. Hennessy.
This toast was duly honoured,
