I THE KANE EXPEDITION.
i A Brief History of the Fane Bipe4li!os.
’ The expedition left New York May 81, 1 bit
Th# firs’, port made was 8». John Newfocndiubd,
! whAre the expedition was ehowo every V teption
fythe g vernor Bnd infcabitaniß, who afforded
them faci?!t ; .ett for obtaining articles required for
th# expedition. They obtained there eight Labra
dor degs for uae in eiedging in scow- They
■ w- re vih t# i there by the effietr? ot the armv #nd
jPiivy. They ookaooard elso all the bets they
coald obtai > and marled it/ After remaining two
days they took their departure, and about the
4*b of Js,y they arrived at F.ohkenaes, a settle
rrent in the eonthen part ot Greenland; Gov.
Lapsing at thi*. point rcooived them with great
hospitality and afforded 'hem everv faciwty iu the
pnrchesocf furs aud eider down. They took
on bo-rd at tb a pcict tn Esquimaux man who woa
to ha.A for ihem. They left Fi hkenees and pro
: e»t^k.^tbk^ r wdpon, ,eo callod from the
he-emblirece
-agar loaf. ThiB N| p}a2e presents many beauties of ,
Arcrie scenery. They foartd there a few Danes,
and o Uihod from the nan abandant supply of
rciudger furs and eeslskia coats. They reached
Dcx’ a place called Pk# r en, a place fifty mitoseoatb
ol Upernavicb. Hero they received the a d of i
4 Christianson, who is well kuowu in tbe annals of ]
tbe Arctic. They obtained additional supplies j
there. While they ren.aiLe.l there an Riquimunx f
ball was givea in nonor of the nxpaditio;;, which j
was attended quite numeroasly.
Among those present were tho Governor and
his vyife and daughter. Uhe ladies were * rosseo
in pantaloons, preseuLirg atiovel arpearacco.—
The members ot the expedition joined in the fee
tivfties of tbe occasion. Wo took on board there
twenty E^q l imaux dogs. Alter remaining two or_
three dathey took their departure for Uperi a
vick. On their way they

They arrived at duriig the last of
*uly, and obtained Mr. Peterson, wco had been
with Capt. Penny as interpret3r, for tbe expedi
tfbn, for the pnrpoee of managing the sledging by
dogs. From Upercuvick they pushed on to the
north. They mot with no ico out 1 they pro
ceeded considerably north of the Devil’s Thumb,
which point is regar J#d by whalers ai tho poir.tat
which they anticipate difficulties in Melville Bey.
They rxntc ed to encounter ice in the B*y, but
they had a very fortunate passage, they being de
tained therein only about two weeks. They did
but little warping. They then made the open
water, an-, off Cape York they came to tno north
water, so called by Ballots, and had a good iun
thence a til the 6th of August, when they entered
Binith’s Sound with no prospect of ice, and sailed
on auGl they reached Littleton Island in latitude
73 20, which is tho highest point reach* d b-, Capt.
Inglefleld in 1852, though wo did not land there.
Tbe expedition landed at the Island and erected n
cairn , in which were deposited letters, in hopes
that Capt. Inglefleld on his return would find
them uud convey them to Englan i, to be forward
ed thence to America. Their most important ob
ject, however, in landing at Littloton Island, was
to deposit provisions, and a large metallic life boat,
which, in case disaster shoul 1 overtake their ves
ant, they might be able to reach it, and bv it make
their return to Greenland. From Littleton Island
they saw the first block of icu They then pushod
on north, and tho first ico they met with was in
latitude 78 32 The morning was foggy and as tho
icaboigs were floating by in oonsidorublo number.-
they sect out a boat to lock for a harbor. A small
batbor was found at tho coast whero tho vessel was
moored, and boat parties were sent ahead to see it
there was any possible chanco cf getting any fur
thor. Iu a lew day« a chance presented itself, the
ice having somewhat opened, acd thev pressed on
by means of warping and made that day about fif
teen miles, passing three small if-iands or rocks,
none of which exceeded a hundred foet in diameter.
Afterward being compelled to return to these
islands by reason cf lyh g in an exposed position,
they afforded them a sort of shelter.
A gale came on subsequently which parted the
haosors with which tcey were moored to the rocks
and they wore driven to eon. 'Phe ga'.e was bow
ing quite heavy, and they wore placed in consid
erable) d ngor, as tht.-y wore running before the
wind amii.’ icebergs and largo piec’ft of ice, one of
which struck the vessel’s quart* r and stove in their
bulwarks. They escaped further danger aid again
raado for the north as ;ast as thoy could by means
of warping, frequently Close iu shore. They were
suljeo.od to a heavy, :nip south of a point which
corresponds in description to Stafford Head, but
fortunately e-caped any damage. Abou’ the first
ol September, found the expedition wlh bay ico
forming abcut them pretiy thick, in latitude 73
deg. 87 m : r. Here they fuund a deep bay running
botwo n twe headlands. They found in this bay
a good harbor, and moored their ships there.
This formed thoir first Winter harbor in the Win
ter of ’53 and *54. On the southwest Bide of the
bay were three islands about a quarter of a tni o
from tho shore. On the back ground was a terrace
of Hand. Os tho two headlands, ono is cast of
Stafford's Head, and the other corresponds to
Thelupsou Poiut The c'iff', at these headlands
aro from seven to eight hundred feet in bight,
though the land back is lower. The vessel was
moored to some granite islands. Tho recks in
that region aro compcscd of granite nud lime
stone, with a small strata of another formation be
tween the two. The formations—called by the
Danes tbe ice foot, which are caused by the re
peated con ributiona of ico Winter after Winter,
occasioned by the rising and fulling of the tido—
were very common here. Tne ieeMont occasional ,
ly forma to tbo thickness of from twenty tothit»y
feet. Alter our vessel w:ie moored, Dr. Kune j ]
stured witb u party to ex.rnice the ice north. .
Thcj went ■ i'.h e bort. They left their boat abcut
tea miles north of l e ship, end then proceeded on
foot. The p«rly returned in about a week, having ,
made a good muuy forced ma’Chce. w on thoy
o~mmenced making active preparations to go into
Wintor quartern. A watm and comfortable house
was bnitto.er the deck, extending from forward
of tho stern to tho far end of the gelloy. S oves
were put up, and communicalioiiH were made bo
tween the steerege and c/bin, and the men wore
transferred from the forecastle to tho hoi 1, where
oomforlablc quarters were made lor them. The
galley was put below. A party was sent forward
to establish a cache about a hundred miles distant,
which being done, they returned. Darkness
gradually Came upon them,aud with thecxcaption
of a tow short journeys within a Bcope of thirty
milos, tho operations for the season close i, end
soon ofltire darkness came upon them, preventing
them from doing any work whatever.
On the 28d cf August in latitude 78° 87' north.
It will be readily perceived that the year in this
latitude is divided into lour portions, two cf which
are altercate day and night, each of two months’
duration; one ot four mouths with tho sun below
the box rson during the entire twenty four hours;
and one of four months witb the snn continually
above the horizon, revolving in one oirole above
tbe horizon—ae Tennyson sajs,
“The midnight Bun
Bet 9 into sunrise ”
On August 22 tho party lost tho sun altogether.
It went at a dip below tho horizon for tbo first
time, and tho nights began gradually to iucrease—
grow longer—until Octobor 22, when—having the
day previous just raised his face above tho boriz.n
the sun vanished sg in, and did not honor them
with his smiles for four months more. At If
o’clock ior two or threo works there was consider
able twilight, but this was soon lost, when tor
ihree months the twilight was very inconsidera
ble. The mootdight days and nights were beanti
fully bright. Tbe va»t expanse of snow and ico
with its millions of mirrors reflecting tbe silvery
rays of the moon produced a brilliaucy, beauty,
and grandeur woolly inconceivable to those who
never have made on ox.ursion to these regions.—
These illumined scenes wero generally edited by
black, scraggy, and barren rocks, which added to
tt/e mysterious sublimity of the whole.
The first Winter which this expedition experien
ced is remarkablo for being one ot the eevorestand
the longest In darkness over experienced bye vil
ized nan. When the cold began to increase i
was 10° below zero early in 8 p’smber, and as the
season advanced, although it proved to be a mneh
milder winter than many described by the natives,
43., 60°, and even fio” below zero was recorded.
Eirly in November, if not on the last of October,
at a temperature of 49° below zrro, old Mononga
hela whisky—eo famous lor its strength—was con
verted into ice.
A portion of tt e first winter passed very smooth
ly. It was a period of rest and amusement; but
as tha light began to dawn and tbe spring todraw
nigh, preparations wer made for sledging.
As early as tho middle of March a pan / was sent
out for the purpose o! reaching the west shore.—
The cold was intense, and the great obstae’e was
the hammocks that obstructed the progie-e of the
travelers.
Later in tha spring, wheu tho weather became
warmer, anothor party started, which wu3 led cn
by Dr. kane. They started witb dogs and fledges.
Thoy crossed tho sound and rstarned cately
A other party was sent out to a large glacier of
eight miles in extent. The extremity ot this gia
oer was tho most northerly limit of the field of
search. Deyond this glacier the land altered its
trend, it having trended frem tho vincinity of
Stafford’s head about east, nearer east than north.
Beyond this it trended again to the north, and
when the whole bay was frozen up, from a short
distance of Ibis glacier was discovered a channel
of open water running north snd aouth. In and
alo r g this stream were innumerable cctacla end
girds.
Tbo principal food of the travelers over the ice
was procured oy the rifle; it consisted almost ex
ciqsiveiy of ibe pemmiesn.
With reference to the channel above described
it is tor those cocveieaot with geographical theo
ries and principles to determine whether or not it
is an indication cf any highway of water beyond, or
whether it is merely one of tt cse tide streams which
sometimes break the frtwan surface cf a northern
estuary, known to the Danes as a raoe. Whatever
this is, one thing is certain; if it be the basis o: a
line cf cotst presenting something unchangeab e
—something nxect, whether it be the water or ice
on which to travel—that feature aiune makes line
apparently the most elig bie road to the No th
pole, snd it is an aspiration of American naviga
tors that the American flag will not on y be borne
triumphantly along this road, but that it may some
d-y be planted on the point known to tradition as
tbe pcle ; that in fact the North pole shall cne
day become the flagstaff of their country’s bancor.
£ariy in tbe Spring the New Foondlsnd dogs
were exceedingly use.'u! in carrying burdens; they
were indeed invaluable lorshoit excursions; six
of them would draw a burden varying trom five
hundred to sight aund'sd pounds, at a dog trot ot
four miles an hour. They would travel thirty
mile* a day for several days in succession. These
dogs, however, were not adapted for this climate,
and the first Winter only two of them survived.
Most of them died in otmvulsions, apparently
suffering trom lock jaw.
Daring the first Winter a young man of great
respectability, who had volunteered hie service* tn
the expedition, Jefferson T. Boses, of Phiiadel
phis, and another named Pierre Schubert, dkd
This was in the fore part of March, ISM. Tier
were buried in a little island, and a cairn was
erected ever their remains. Letters were a’so
buried with them to indicate their identity.
In the month ot March the party was visited by
some Esquimaux, of whoso existence iu that region
Dr. Kane area not before aware. They came in
sledve- drawn by fine large dogs, evidently of a
very superior Breed; these dogs would m»ks a
journey of sixty miles a day for several weens,
carrying a sing e man, en iin some instan.es
two men behind them. The sledges were curious,
ly formed; some were made of hundreds of pieces
of bone lashed together with strings made cf the
oieook, a Urge teat. A tew of them were made of
wood. There can scaroely be a people !e s de
pendent upon the assiwaLce of civii sad men tLan
these Esquimaux. To be sure trey have their
iec’s of iron in their harpoons, bat even their
lances are formed of the sharpened horns of the
nnioorn. In many respects these people presant
the lowefet form of humanity. Their notions ot
religion are exceedingly crude, acd resemble t.*iat
described by Parry in his voyages as belonging to
the Labrador Esquimaux. They are grossly filthy
in their habits, ana indulge in consiaerabie 100-Je

Their principal support is the walrus, the bear,
the i nk (a email bird which swarms in the
Arctic region**); cccaaionaiiy they catch peals, uni
corns, and some iir.es even, though rarely, white
whales. Ali their fishing ha>* to be carried on in
the cracks of the ice. They have a si ky suspi
cion of a beard, wnicu diatingaiT-hes them from
tbe Labrador Esquimaux, and they are generally
smaller, though there ar among them some re
markably fiD6 specimens of savages. The race
Keems to be decaying and disappearing; it is sap
po-ed that here are not more than a hundred of
them from Capo York to Littleton island, some
five or ?ix hundred miles. These Esquimaux vis’t
ed Dr. Kaoe'fl party, and a trade w*a opened with
them. They remain'd only tor a day or two, noth
ing more was been of them during the spring. In
July, as the prospect of getting out of the ice
seemed to r>e very distant, Dr. Kane planned a
party, of which he took the command, to Beechy
ldan ito communicate with tha English. He met
tbe ice rff Cape Parry—evidently the Upale aud
Wals ten holm sound pack—at Jone's sound. It
was itnpofainla to penetrate this, aud consequently
nothing remained bat to make preparations for
passing the second winter as comfortably as poe
ftib e. Thp outfit of the expedi.ioG bad contem
plated a stay of only fifteen months, and the pro
visions remaining w reijot of a character suited to
thec imate. tscurvy prevailed considerably, but
1 by fho untiring assiduity ol Dr. Kane, this was so
far checked that no lives were lost by it, although
beveral men were severely affected.
By this time'tho supply of coal was entirely ex
hanstod. They were obliged to cut away the bnl
wark*, aud all the tq are spars of the ship; indeed,
everything wbkm con'd be cut away, and still

When the crrjra-.cfilum begun to 6how the tints
of the subught -n tfio : ikyimg t they began to look
forward to all tha*: r iTkin«<i to them—a journey
to the merest station of civilizUion, Upernavick.
The distance, ioc ud 1 g delcuis, was at least a
1 thousand mi.e-i This could b9 travelled by
conveying the boa b on sledgea to the nearest
water, and then placing tbe siedges on boats and
proceediug by water anti! the ice compelled them
to reverse he older again.
The Winter was an extremely cold one. Sixty
degrees below zero was frequently recorded, and
the monthly averages were 80° and 4o® below zsro.
The ice showed no probpec.of breaking up. Care
tui surveys were made us la e as the Ist of M>y,
wLeu lie water was at least, seveniy or eighty
mi : es from the ship. It being beyond question
that the ship must rorrain there, the boats wen
got under weigh, and tho greatest e*peed used in
fining them up. Valuable were made to
them, suggested by the experience of their car
renter, Mr. Oiilseu, who, after having braved
miry dangers and the wear aud tear ot two Arctic
Winteiß, was suddenly cut off at the very instant
of arriving at the water. His loss was greatly la
merited by his surviving comrades. He was buried
on tho island of Littleton, where, 'wo yeare be
fore, standing on a deck ou which ho was au offl
cer, he had seen the American tag planted, and
bed looked forward in the best of spirits to future
labors and triumphs. As scon a-j the boats were
got ready the provisions wore placed iu them,
water proof art cles being got tip as well as their
shabby resources allowed. For a lack of paint (
they were obliged to uso tha' detestable mixture of 1
tar and pitch, of which it is written 4t No mar can i
touch without being defiled.” They were again I
reminded of it when they came to eat their bread.
Tho bread wa* poundod into powder, packed into ‘
canvass bags and laid down so as to fiill np the *
apace between the thwarts of the boats—just room '
enough remaining for the legs of the oarsmen.— J
There three bouts, one of which (tho Dingy)
was soon broken up for fuel. A counplc of stan- i
chions wro provided, aboat five feet in each »
boat, and a lent cover stretched over them and r
tied down to the gunwales. Two buffalo robes, a <
few blttnkob>, aud a tarpamin, composed the sleep <
ing accommodations of tho party. ]
They had eighty miles to go upon tho ice, but t b
thoir party were both in numbers and in
health, they wore obligod to take one boat at a
t me. Tho hammocks in the ico wore often throe
or four foet high, aud the eighty miles were
traverse'! by many of the party several times over.
Too ship was left about the 20ih of May, and they
were a month in traversing the eighty miles of
ice. In ono single day after launching their boa*s
thoy made by a splendid sail, almost as much as
they had during the month previous. Pa sing
Sutherland island, thoyeime within teu miles of
Hackeduyt island, where they woro obstructed by
ieo. 'The day, however, the ico opened with
the tide, and they reached that island. Hera they
were compelled to slop for two or three day.-* by
th ic ~ They then went on to Dallyznple rock,
whole thoj were de ighted to find thousands of
tr sh laid of tho o:der duck. Thoy woro de
tained there by a f>outu west wind for a week,
during which time thev lived almost entirely on
egg-. They then packed down a thousand and
suiled tor ftatilick, an Esqnima x settlement where
they supposed thei man Hans waa. He had left
the ship iulhe Spring and gone to :he Esquimaux,
with whom ho waa ou very in'imate terms. Ic
was said tint he was otfe r ed the band cf the
daughter of one of tho chiefs, and that he left the .
party with royal notions in his head.
They met little obstruct on from the ioe, and ,
when they did they were generally delayed only
until tho next tide. At last thoy were gratified
, and delighted at tbe eight of Capo Dudley Diggs, j
which is well known to whalers. From there
they ran on until they met the ice off the great f
glacier, a little north of Cape York. Iloro they ‘
woe detained by the ice for a week, trail as their ;
quarters were near an immense loonery, whero
thousands of birds kept up a continual 1
cawing, and trey woro able to shoot as many as *
toy j>io»eod, thoy woro not very impatient. Such 1
man eat one or two of them at a meal, and they .
ma le up for lost time. At last ho ioo released ]
them, uud without very much obstruction they
arrived at Cape York about the middlo of July, f
During the pussago they lived principally on the J
little auk, with which, for miles and miles north ‘
of Capo Y’urk, the air is continual.y darkened. 1
One ol our informants said that they were thick as '
fl'es on a molasses barrel. The flapping of their
wings made a noise like tho roar of the sea. No
idea can bo formed of their abundance north of ’
Crpa York, which seems to be their southern
limi iu Summer. When shot at they try to escape
by diving, and yon always have a chanco to blaze
away at thorn agaiu. Rounding Cape York, they j
parsed into Moivillo buy.
Pushing on boldly, and venturing now and then
into the paok ico, they once more carao into open
wat-r, and de cried tho Devil’s Thumb. Here ■
they stopped no longer than was noce-srry for rest, 1
and availing themselves of every favorable wind, 1
tney soon reached the Horse’s bead, a promontory 1
near Upernavick. Stopping a day or two here,
they 83* sail with a splendid wind, but soon a fog 1
oaraeon. They were proceeding slowly through
tho fog, wheu they heard a loud cry, which they
recogn'iod as proceeding from civilized E-qui
raaux. Thoy were astonished on pulling in the
direction cf tho sound, to bos a Danish boat with
white men on board. From theee they learned of
the expedition iu search of them, and the Danish
news cf tho world generally. Leaving the Danes
to 00k lor blubber, they went on to an island from
sheer exhaustion.
The next day they wont on in the fog, at a ven
ture, and after pulling about three points too much
to the westward they suddenly hoar i a dog bark.
Turning iu tbe direction they palled with all their
might till thoy got iuside of some old landmarks,
which quickened poor Petersou’e blood. They
raised tho American flig on one boat and the Dan
ieh on the other, and noiselessly pnlkd around the
point, concealed by the fog—a fog which was to
opeu to their view the first settlement of Cnristian
men which their eyes bad seen for more than two
years.
Tho news had not gone further till they had
nearly drawn up to the beach, i’he E-»quima'ix
wemen first came out in their hemespnn, and wore
soon followed by the men, ali in the greatest ex
citomont. Ail the people a* once came down to
see the strange arrival. Poor Mr. Pet:non was re
stored to the arms of hiß loving wife and numerous
f opposed orphan child en; quarters woro provided
for tho party at Uperuavik. Hero they were oblig
ed to wait uaiil tlio sailing of the Danish bark in
which they took passage so England. They re
ceivad much attention on board the bark, tbe Mary
Aun, cn their way to Lively, whore they arrived
on the 10th of September. To Captain Anderson
of tho bark they were much indebted for polite
and kind attentions. He anticipated every want,
and did all in bis power to make them comforta
ble.
After staying at Lively a week they met with the
Hartstein expedition.
Another Account.
Tho expedition succeeded in crossing Mellville
bav a ;d reaching the headlands of Smith’s sound
aa oarly as the 6.h ot August, IS6B. Finding the
ice to the north completely impenetrate thfy were
forced <0 attempt ate uporary passage along tho
couat, where tho rapid tides, running at the rate of
fonr knots an hour, with a rise and fall of sixteen
feet, had worn a temporary opening, i reviousto
taking the step, which involved great respond
bility, and in fact equivalent to sacrificing the
briar, a Francis metallic boat, with a depot of pro
visions—they call it a cache in the Arctic—
concoftlad aa a moans of retreat.
The penetration of the pack ice wee attended by
sc any o etacles. The vessel grounded with every
tide, end bat lor her ex.reme strength would not
Lave boen able to sus'ain the shocks of the ice.
She was twice on her beam ends, and once on lire
from the up setting of the stoves. Borne idea of
this navigation may be formed from the fact of her
losing her jb-boom, best bower anohor, bulwarks,
besides about six hundred fathoms warping lina.
They were cheered however by a small daily pro
gress, and by tbe luth September, 1858, ha’d suc
ceeded in gaining tbe northern lace of Greenland.
Here the young ice froze arcund the vessel, and
compelled them to seek a winter asylum. The
winter gave them a degree of cold much below any
previous registration on record. Whißkey freze
in November, an 1 for four months in the year
morcury was solid daily. The mean annual tem
peratnre was 5 deg. belo v zero, summer and win
ter irened. Thi*, without a doubt, was the
greatest cold ever experienced by man, as tbe seat
of their winter quarters was the nearest the pule.
The scurvy »u readily controlled, but the moat
fearful as well as mon novel teatnre of t is winter
was a U.anut c r lockjsw, which defied all treat
ment. It Carrie J away fifty seven of their best
sledge dogs, and was altogether a frightful scourge.
The op erations of scare commenced as early as
March Thefir»t parties nnder the personal charge
ot Dr. Kane, crossing the ice at a temperature of
57 degrees below zero. The loss of their dog s
obliged them, as an on y alternative, to adopt this
early travel; many of the parties were freet bitten,
and underwent amputation of the toee. It was by
means of these efforts that the expedition succeed
ed in bringirg back its i-rporiant results. The
. arti« were in the field as late as the 10th of July,
only ceasing from labor when the winter darkness
made it impossible to travel.
Gkcobathjoai. Kxsclts. —L Greenland has been
followed and charted by Dr. Kane toward the At
lantic with a coast line pointing due north, until a
stupendous glacier absolutely checked their pro
gress. Tbia mass of ice rose in a lofty precipice
five hundred feet high, abutting into the sea. It
undoubted y ie the only barrier cetween Green
land and tbe Atlantic. It is an effectual barrier to
all future exploration.
This g scier, in spite of the difficulty of falling
bergs, was followed out to sea by meama of sledge.-;
the rarty ratting themselvee across open water
ou masses of ice. In this way they succeeded in
travelling eighty miles along its base, and traced
it into a new northern lani. This glacier is, we
fcelieve, the largest ever discovered Dy any navi
gator.
11. This new land thus oerrented to Greenland
by protruding ice was named Washington. Tse
large bay which intervenes between it and Green
land bears tbe name of Mr. Peabody of Baltimore,
one of the projectors of the expedition. This icy
oonnection of toe old and new world seems to os
e teatnre of romantic interest.

understood from the fact that the entire circuit of
* Smith sound has been effected and its shore*

The inter of 1354-55. —Tha extreme aev.rity
of the previous solbou made it the
brig could not be liberate i before the \7mter se'
in. the was fast imprisoned in a large field or
ice. The provisions, though abundant, were not
caicnla’ed lo resist scurvy ; and the fuel, owing to
the emergency of tbo present Winter, was deficient
in quantity. Under the«e circumstances Dr. Kane
wi ! h a party ot volunteers, made an attempt to
reach the mouth ot Laocs-tor soand, in hopes of
meeting the English expeditions, and thus* giving
relief t > his associates. Thoy p -seed in an opsn
boat over the track of Baffin’* travel, riding out a
he ivy gale. They found aa uninterrupted barrier
ot ico, extending in ono great iiorse-shoe from
Jones’s to Murchison’s pounds, aid were forced
after various escapes to return to the brig.
During the Winter t w hich ensued they adop'ed
the habits of the E-quitnaux—tying upon raw
walrus meat and surrounding ther-.elves by wslla
of moss. In spite of theso tho scurvy
advanced with steady progress, but by the aid ota

In accordance with this view ihey leit ihe br g on

supplied them with animal food, no provisions

traveled south ward, sometime i over ice, sometimes
over water, shooting either duck or seal an : col

Substance of the Official Refort. —ln advance ‘
of the official report, wo are enabled to give the
following particulars:
Dr. Kane, U. 8. N., John W. Wi’son, Amos
Bouea'l, Dr. J. J. Hayes, Augustus Sontag, Henry 5
Goodfellow, Georgo Stephenson, William Morton, 1
Thomas Hickey, Christian Ohlesen. Jefferson Ba- 1
ker and Peter Schubert, left this port on Tuesday, '
the 81st of May, 1858. just two years and seven
months ago, on board the brig Advance, in search
of Sir John Franklin.
After some bold and difficult sailing dne north, 1
the Advance reached * bay on the north coast of
Greenland, the headland of wh ch * in lat7B 60.
They entered this bty on the 10th of Septcmbor.
1868, and there the ««• surrounded the brig and
set her fas’. At this poin' the company com
menced tbeir search tor Sir John Franklin.
The winter was of a degree of severity never be
fore recorded, Whiskey trcse. The thermometer .
amk to 90 75 below xaro. The sun was absent
one hundred and twenty days astronomically, and
Teally, owing to the e ovation of the hills, there
were one hundred and thirty dry* of darkness.—
This, therefore, munt be farther north than the
ooaip«ny of tDy expedition have eve?* before win
tered. It was a time of extreme hardship. The
chief enemy was tetanus, or lockjaw, caused by
the severe cold. The scurvy was easi y subdued.
The coast of Greenland was explored to a poiDt
where it entirely faces the north, and the progress
of the toward the Atlantic was followed nntil
the immense glaciers or ioebergs arrested th pro
gress of these daring adventurers. One glacier
was followed along its base a distance of eighty
miles, where it wt-s di-covered to cement Green
laud to an unexplored and hitherto undiscovered
continent running io the north. .
The party surveyed the entire shores of Bmi-h
sound, which is believed to be a gulf or bay.
Anew chancel was discovered trending dne
north, entirely free from ice and opening into the
Polar sea. _ . . , , ,
The discovery of the Polar sea is regarded by
Dr. K.ne as one of the most important and inter
esting resells of the txpedition.
The sine of ice extended in one solid mass
southward so tnat it became evident that t ,t ad
va-cs could not be liberated. Under the circum
stances Dr. Kane volunteered & communication
with the English at Lancaster sound. He made
his journey with five volunteers in an open whale
boat; bat found solid ice to the southward. By
this time the second Winter set in. It found
them with abundant provisions, but destitute of
anti scorbutics and dedcient in fuel. At the junc
ture, unable to pursue navigation, they adopted
the habits ©f the Esquimaux. **?•* returned to
the brig, which they enveloped in moss. They
organ xsd a hunting expedition, and uved cn raw
meat. The Winter was so severe, and this die.
so unwholesome that at one time the whole crew,
except two, were upon their backs with the scur
fy. Three of tbeir brave eomrades died at this
distressing season. . t
Several amputations were performed be toes
ot those who bad not been north before being
frostbitten.
Finding that liberation was impossiole, and that
no expedition in search of them could penetrate
the ice in time to avoid a third Winter, Dr. Kane
determined, as the only measure of safely, to
abandon the brig and travel to the south by alter
nate'y traveling in sledges and in boats. The sick
were conveyed in dog siedges under the immedi
ate care of Dr. Kune in person, who attended to
them with all the assiduity of his generous nature.
The di tanee traveled *as nearly one thousand
four hundred miles, three hundred and sixteen of
which »as performed in dog sledges and the
balance in
and suffering. The party sustained themselves
entirely by tbeir guns.
On the 6th of Au?ust, 1865,’he party entered
♦he Danish settlements and took passage in the
Danish brig Mary Ann, bound for England. They
touched at Disco on the 9th of September last,
where they were happily met by the expedition
under oommand of dept. Hartstein. Dr. Kane
immediately withdrew hie oontraot for peseage in
the M-ry A.LP.«ud proce.rel hem by ‘.hese v.*:
se’v re above d*.scribed.
Csptolu Hsrtsieiu said that he had with difflea'-
/ forced his way into MafiviUe B,y and found
Smth Sound clothed w.th ioe. He ha' 'earned -i
the E quimaux of the dear ure o’ Dr. K me. H-r
then returned aud met Dr. Kane a". just 24
hours previous to tha time tlxsd for the dopar>C'o
of the Mary Ann for England.
The generous living ot Uap’. Hortsleiu, snd tho
voyage h;me, have completely restored
'r Kioe and those o* bis pat'y who have snr
vivoa the this adve„tare. They have
been exceedingly reduced, but they are now so
stout that the clothes wl ich before hung loosely on
their lim'3S are now quite right, aud a more healthy
and jovial party se dom come into port. They
ha*e a : l dbp msed with tho razor, and to ali ap
pe.-racc; discovered : n the Rohr Se; a “hair

and in due time, no doubi, the public will tuko

The Ben Franklin and the Yellow Fever at Nor
folk end i’erlamoulli.
To the Editor (/ the Eew To k Jin aid:
Veb* Ckox, Sept. 21, 1855.
From the reiterated statements in the public
pre»9 of the United State?, thoimpreesion has been
made that the awful morta'ity at Norfolk and
Portsmouth is tractable to the steamship Ben
Franklin, which arrived at the latter port from tit.
Thomas early in Jane.
As such an imoreesion is calculated to mislead
and h .ffl: scientific research as the truo origin ol
1 he plague now desolating tho e cities, sailer me to
disabuse the pub ic mind by stating a low fact* l .
The Ben Franklin left Bt. Thomas for N. York
on the 27th of May, with thirty throe passengers
—men, women and ohil.iren-inost cf them uneccli
mated persons. The necond or tb : rd dsy out
s vcral ofelhe crew and firemen ware on tho sick
list, but whether from rum, fatiguo or malingering,
(commonly called “sogenug,") 1 shall not pretend
to say. Certain it is, there were no cases of yellow
fever amoDg them,and the writer has, ha thinks,
seen enough of that disease to recoguiee it when
existing.
On tie fifth or sixth day, one of tho men (who
had been up and about the day before) died sud
dei iy, and wiihont having exhibited the least
sympton of yellow fiver. 1 attributed his death
to some organic f inctional < erangemont, most pro
bably o.' the bowels, for neither purgatives or
entmala had had any effect upon him.
The tenth day out wo put iDto Hampton Koads,
in distress, having for the preceding two or three
days made ecarcely any progress, theship leaking
badly, and tbe engine almost entirely -‘broken
down.” At the very time of getting in, the only
other death occurred—that of oi o < I the firemen,
who had been at his duty the day before Con d
this have been a case of yellow fever? I thick "Ot.
We had not anchored whon th i boat from Nor
folk to Baltimore came in hail, and with a single
exception every passenger was trausleried, bag
and baggage, on board i f her, and found them
selves sale and sound in Baltimore next morn ng.
I have e’ther seen or heard from every on- of
those passengers, and that one left on board since
then, and not one ot them has bad the slightcs
symptoms of yellow fever.
Now, when we bear iu mind that the cabin of
the Ben Franklin is below deck, and that it bid
constantly open communication with the held, and
that me aerie-are, ». curb . - .nnurczr
wcr. shut an there most of 'be time, and that tbe
male pasamgorß were two days s-.d nights con
stantly at the pumps—being si(br.' of tho cos
frugee eoneumere noli, and not ‘dr.l wer t water,”
except for the nonco, is it not passing sluinge none
of ns suffered from the pesthoece wi h whico, ac
cording to the newspapers, tha vessel was recking!
Moreover, the Ben Franklin had positively no
cargo, except coal and ernuon. none of which did
she discharge. The “oreaking bulk” so much
harped upon, oould rotate only to a sow heavy nr
tides of peßsengera’ luggage, left on board, but
which were stowed under an open hatchway.
My impression ia, Mr. Editor, that the Bon
Franklin is more sinned against than sinning. 1
believe Bhe caught the in fecton from Gosport in
stead of taking it there. Several men rs-war and
other vessels had arrived in those waters a short
time previously, all teeming with yel'ow fever. —
Why, then, make this most unfortunate of vessels
you have heard and will hear more of her his
tory—the scape-goat so- the sins of others?
We have been reproached for leaving the vo-sel
so nncermoniously the moment we got abreast of
Old Point Comlort, and without waitti g for the
visits of medical or Custom Houbo officers. To
that I son Id say, even to rafs is accorded the in
nocent privilege of quitting a sinking ship when
they can. We had nothing to .moggie, and knew
thers was no yellow fever on board. This -»as tbe
second time 1 had left a vessel under similar cir
cumstances and with equally little ceremony, at
Hampton Roads, and without ever hearing of
quarantine or Custom House.
I desire this to be published, to vindicate my
self, the officers of the ship and fellow passengers,
from the implied charge of a culpable recklessness,
which, if merited, cou d not but—in view of its
awful consequences—disturb tne conscience of a
fiend. lam anxioua, too, tbatthe medical facuby,
in thair noble labora and lcveetigst ons as to the
cause of tbe direful calamity, may have facta and
data at command. J. T. Picxett.

Vi ill yon please to insert it in the K-gister, togeth

On the first day of this month, the Bank of
Knoxville was sold by the Company with which
1 was connected, and transferred ont of our hands
?t r «t ”e'y°'he"ifan"k had issued not eaof “n/» in rbli

M. White, Cashier,” end all ere countersigned
“Arth. K. Crozier, Comptroller.” Nona others are
Bank has not been robbed. No $lO plate

the existence of such a plats known to any individ

known to M. W. Williams, who was at onetime a
stockholder in, and the President of the Bank,
bnt who is now a refugee from josliee.
1 am also informed that certain spurious certifi
cates of deposite, printed in stylo of the notes ot
the Bank, nave b en put in c rcuiation in Cincin
nati or its v ciuiiy. The Bank haa never ii-sued
aaything of tho sort, andthepubiicshould beware
of them.
The circulation of the Bank is based upon a de

Bake Knoxville Notes —A little excitement
was occasioned on Tuesday evening and Wednes
day, by tho appearance in the money and bnst -
neas circle of this city, of an unusual amount of
4 bran new 1 $lO notes of the bank ot Knoxville,
Tenn. They were offered by a young man just
fiom that place, but who was raised and bas rela
tions in this cry. A number of purchases were
made, and the money used in paymen’; and
several bntded dollars wore discounted by a
brf krr at 7 per cent, for Missouri biuk notes and
grid.
Tne metier creat'd but little suspicion until
after tho young man’s departure, when it came out
that be had aek .owledgod to a i old acquaintance
of his, that t e money had been stolen, (by
another person, not by bimaelf,) and that the Bank
could not know ot the robbery for three weeks to
come. It is said that he offered this acquaintance
$2 000 of the money to go in with him a’d help
xrhange it, add.ng that ha had SIO,OoO more of
i whioi lacked the officers’ names and which he
was going to Lex' ogton to have filled up by a high
effiter of the baLk, who was to meet him Ultra ior
that purpose.
Telegraphic despatches were sent to Paris and
Lexington to have hira arrested, bnt we believe
without success.
There ia no donbt cf the genuineness of the
rotes, but we are not advised whether the jttinq
up of the notes circulated here is certainly gen
uine or not.
The Japan Tbxatt. —The latest in'elligenco from
Japan, received via San Francisco, indicates ihal
the trea'y nego iaiod by Com. Perry has "been
partially repudiated by the Japanese, who nave
piec'd an interpretation upon its provisions which
will prohibit every attempt to establish commer
cial relations between tho two countries. It ap
pears that Messrs. Bred & Dougherty, American
merohan's, visited ilakodadi with the view of es
tabUshing tbere a depot cf provisions for whale
vessels and cf inviting trade with the natives,
were not allowed to land, the Japanese authorities
. asserting that tne treaty only a lowed Americans
to reside temporarily in the country, which secor
1 ding to their interpretation means a period of four
or five days.— Bait. Amor.

Arrival of Ihe Uncle gam—tbolero on Board.
At aboat 7 o’clojk, Friday morning, the 3icsra
gna steamer, Unole Sam, arrived at tin w! art at
the foot of Jackson street. Soon afier her arrival
rumors were raised thßt tha cholera had raged on
board of tho boat to a fearful extent. We have
endeavored to gather autbentio parl'cu'ars in re
gard to tbe matter. Thus for, our efforts fcava not
bsen as successful as we could wish. Tbe Captain
reports, at the Ocr.om House, tne death of 108
adults, eight ohiidren and nine seamen—making
120 iu all. Wo can find no passenger that does
uotiusist that at loasl 200 perished; and some ap
pear confident that the number wib much larger.
The law requites the Capt .into report the numbor
lying on nia Vessel, bat those dying in port are
not included in the number, and this may, in a
measure, account for the discrepamy.
After a.riviugatthe whaif, twenty four patients
wore takeu to the State Marine Hospital, of whom
it s thought not more than oue third will surv vo.
Many of the passengers set the number of deceas
ed as high ss two hundred and filly, bnt this is no
doubt, au i x iggsratiuu.
Among the incidents on board, we hear of one
case of apparent hardship: A young lady by the
name ot Mrs. Honora White, whosa husband re
sides at San Jose, was taken sick of fever a few
days before the ateamer arrived at this port. She
died two hours bsforo tho arrival of the steamer at
the wharf. Against all tha remonstrances of her
friends, the remains of tho unfortunate lady were
taken from her state roam and plunged into tho
sea.
Much of the Bickness an board is attributed to
tha i.i.piT. tones ot the passengers, many of whom
orossed lira Isthmus ou toot; and indulged freely
in ealiug and drinking on tbe Pao'.fl) side. A
Urge number of passoLgers wore compelled to
walk corjss the Isthmus, owing to the politloal
troubles in that vio.nity, which had caused tho na
tives to remove their mules. The paesage was ono
of 'he most uucorafortablo and boisterous evsr ex
perienced upon tbe Fao.flo side, whioh added to
tho horrors of the voyage. The deaths wore gen
erally very sadden, none surviving over from two.
to six hours from the time they were attacked.—
Tho panic on board wasdreadiul; wives abandon
songers Ware allowed by the eompaby three dol
lars each for crossing the Isthmus ou foot. One
young mau who was a cabin passenger, whitoltr-
Icrcedit g tor a f riend in the steerage, was sudden
ly taken with vomiting, and diod iu two In.urs.—

Tho Chronicle says
We are assured by several souro).) that not less *
than 200 persona died oil tho trip. One passenger, t
who spent every day ondcok, aud kept account ol
the bodies thrown ovor during the daytime, and i
made inquiries as to tho bodies thrown over at |

I’obtbmouh, Oct. 14 —To day’s (Sunday's) run
esnio fjrih to shine with ucu-ual brightness upon
our town ; its early rays erased a heavy frost which
had collected the previous night, and sent it in a
fluid form, trickling through the gutters to tho
ground. . ,
The Kev. Mr. Home delivered three sermons
to day; the first in his own, tho Court stroet Hap
tist Church ; the second in the St High street
Presbyterian Church, and the third in Norfolk.—
He iH the only remaining Ministor of tne Gospel in
town. Tho K-v. Mr.O'Keefe, ol Norlolk officiated
in the Cathojio Church this morning.
The town bas commenced to brighten up a little,
and will soon bo “itself a;ain.” Many weli known
forms and familiar faces are seen on our streets,
all eagor to return to their business, and Booming
fond of their native, although deserted town.
During the last 46 hours there wore i o deaths

cold to-day tor fires, and thick winter ciolbing;
and nn.ess there ia a change there seems bat little

There are some severe casts in tho Alms Houso.
Oar remaining physicians still hesitate to r»com

It appears that on Monday evening the body of

Borne idea of tho vast quantity of water that fc’l
mi yba formed from tho tact that Poach Crock, ten

higher than over known boforo. T c effect of this
rain has been terrible in many portions of the
country, particularly on Peach Creek. Betsi es a
largo amount of fencing and option that was swept
away, about sixty feet ot tho new bridge, which
was above high water mark, was carried off.—

It is impossible to calculate the h jury done to

and tho damage new being sustained rom tho r t,

must nscessardy cut the crop vaiy short.
