Loss of the Schooner "Archus", loaded with Silver-Lead Ore, on the Coast of Greenland, 1856. '...she put into the harbour of Kajarlik, a small opening in an island of Arksuk [Arsuk] Fiord. A gale of wind came on, blowing into the harbour; and this increased with such force that the ship's cables and hawsers were unable to hold her, and she was dashed with great violence against the rocks, knocking off her rudder, her false keel, and making her so leaky that she was obliged to be abandoned. The crew and miners worked all day, saving all the provisions and rigging, &c., they were able to get at, and landing them on the rocks. None of the cargo could be saved, but it was insured. The cold at this time was very severe...On the morning after abandoning her she was nowhere to be seen, and it is supposed she sunk at the entrance of the harbour'. From "Illustrated London News", 1856.
