The "Seneca" also encountered miles of "slop" ice-fields, the largest being nine miles square...

Mr. Patten will carry on his investigations when the "Seneca" is not actively engaged in its patrol work. He will study "ocean-ography," in every form, testing the temperature and salinity of the ocean at its various depths. Mr. Patten will leave the "Seneca" about the middle of May.
