Farewell

Farewell, CAPE, the southern extremity of Greenland, lying in 59° 44' N. lat. and 43° 54' W. long., consists of a rocky hill, nearly 1000 feet high, situated on an island off the coast. It is generally beset with ice, which appears to come from the north-east and to sweep round into Davis Strait. Hence the cape is but little known; and, in fact, the Danish traders and seamen generally round it at more than 100 miles distance.
