The story of I,Aeutenant Schwatka'S A:rcfic exploration's, aagiven by the New York herald's • correspondent, is 'painfully fascinating. The party reac-ied their permanent camp on Simpson Strait,hear Caa.dinaW \ l'ciint, September 19, 1879; at the foot of a high hill, which Toolooah remarked would make a good lookout tower for deer hunting. AU along ,this part of the coast; ware Simpson Strait is narrowest, was expected soon to swarm with reindeer waiting for the salt water to. freeze so they can con tinue their Migration southward. It was. •for this reason that the party chose it, and also la await the freez ing of . the strait, so that they , could cross with their heavy sleds. On the 23d they ran iipon , ?a herd of. about fifty, and Toolooah killed seyen be fore they could' get away, following them up, rtinnina.nnd drOpping • on his knee to fire. So rapid and effee-i tire was his 'delivery with his Win- . chestcr repeating carbine that this unequalled achievement was accom plished in less than ten minutes; and well knowing that it was to his splen did weapon that the - credit largely belonged, this undemohstrative sav age -held up' - - his ride and kissed it.. On the 30th Toolooah killed twelve reindeer, Joe eight and Equeesik and the writer each three,making a grand. total Uf twenty-six by the party alone in one day. - Reindeer tallow is a large part' of the food of the explor ers, as of the natives, when they,pan act it. • Breakfast is eaten raw and 'Frozen, but we generally have:a warm meal in the evening. Fuel is .hard to obtain, and conshitsenOrely,of a vine-like moss called Ili-shoot-ill. Reindeer' tallow ,is also used for a A-small flat stone serves for a _candlestick, on Which a lump of talk - CY:is placed, close to a piece . .of fibrous' moss called mun-ne, which is used for a wick. : The tallow melting runs down ,upon the stone, midis im-' mediately absorbed by the moss. This makes.a very cheerful ant-plena ant, light, but is , most exasperating to a' hungry. man, as it smells exactly like frying meat.. 'On the afternoon of the. 27th of September a heavy snowstorm set in, and the next morning the snow was knee deep on the .level .ice. The storm . continued , - until during the night of the 29th. The snow was. very deep,,btit the winter wihils soon blew it around anti packed it down so as to be 'almost solid. By the 14th of October the sledging was. suttl eiently•goodifOr Toolooah "to :go 'to Cape Herschel . : and.; Terror Bay for the sled and Other' articles thatwere : left there during the sumpiet for the want of transportation. As his little ,boy would suffet with the cord Too loosh exchanged wives with. Joe for the trip, a very usual and convenient custom among the Esquimaux. Too-' looahgotliabk on the 2,3 d. He killed three bearsithe.day he reached Ter ror Bay. TAB of them got into the water, and : he had to : go to the edge of the new ieq,.using -a - pole to stand upon while them out. He killed one reindeer at Cape Herschel, which was all lie saw 'while away. - The party started :November 1, but ulid not suoceee in getting further than the, shore of the straits, about three miles from camp, owing to the 'heavy sleds and the dogs being so ,fat that they werelar.y. .They had fondly hived' to be., at the Pangetous Rapids 17 the 10th or 15th of November, but only reach-1 ed the native - taint) near the mouth of Kig-hiuk-too (Sherman Inlet). on the 12th, owing to the heavily loaded, sled and the much bad weather, togs and wind that would blow the -snow around so -that they could-not see their course. There was quite a large camp of Netchillik and Obkwolik Esquimaux on' .a big lake near the mouth of Sherman inlet, the. largest camp they had yet seen. They `. found but - few interesting relics among them. Only a piece of the boat found in Wilmot Bay after the big ship sunk, and, part of the block branded eithef ."10" or "0 B." with part of the It obliterated. If the ship's blocks were branded • with tare name of the vessel to which they were attached, this Would be import ant as establishing the identity of the ship that drifted down as the Terror.

' • name of Ogzenekjenwock, 'describes the finding of a boat-and skeletons, Outside the boat lie saw a number of skull - 3.y 'forgoi - :Many; but said*there,was more 'than four. Ile also - say►' bones from leis and arms that aiipeared to havibein sawed off'. Inside the boat waa a, - box filled with bones. said the aprisearance".of the bones led the Innuitslo the OAlnion that: the white men had been eating each other. What little flesh was still ,on the bones was very freSh ; one body bad all the - flesh on. The hair. was light ; .it looked like a long body. He saw a number snow goggles, and alongsi Viidy, with the flesh , on it was of- gold spectacles.. (lie pick d lout the kind of metal 11'4)&1 seve !:1 that were shown hint.) He saw mo a titan one or tvio pairs of - - such- spe , :tac4s, but forgot how many.

They were given to the children to play with and have been broken up and:lost. One body—the one with fleslkon— had a gold chain on, fastened to gold earrings, and - - a gold hunting-caie watch with engine-turned engraving attached •to the chain, and'hanging• down,ithout 'the waist. ne said when he pulled the chain it, pulled the head 'up by the ears. •This • lucidy also. had a gold ring on the ring finger of the right hand. • It was taken off and has since been lost by the children -in the - gate -way. that the other things • were lost. His treason (Or thinking that they•bad been eating each other was because the hones were cut with a'knife or saw. • They found one big ,saw and one small one in Ale boat ; also a large red tin case of smoking. tdbacco and pipes. The bones : are now covered nii with said and sea weed, as they were lying just, at high' : •water mark.

The skull and a few other bones ,only were found in and' near by grave. -They were Carefully gathered tb gether, with a few pieces of the cloth and the other articles, to be brought away for interment where ,they may hereafter' rest undisturbed. Some tiine . after a paper, in' a weather ..beaten and nearly illegible conditiOn i was found in a pile of stones where ' had stood the cairn seeu :by Lieuten ant Hobson and ToOloottles wife. It proved•to be a copy of -A record left here by .Captain - Crozier when re treating with the crews of the Erebus and Terror to the Great Fish .Rivcr was dated May? 7 18.51,,and signed by Captain - Some Of the details of the sledge jouruey made by Lieutenant Schwitt-. men and the _means. resorted-to for sustaining life are of intense in-. terest.. A few are here reproduced : " Itls.a difficult matter to keep guns in working order in the intensely cold' weather we were experiencing. At sixty and seventy below zero every thing freezes. Even the iron and wood are affected, Strong oak and hickory !vill breall\almost like icicles, and when. guns were broUght into the. warmer temperature of an igloo to clean:they would gather moisture, whieh had to be removed from every portion of the lock and working parts before again meeting the cold, i' or' they would be worthless as weapons. They must also be kept tree from, oil or any kind of grease, as all lubri cants of that sort will harden and prevent the working of the lock. " It -is a matter of great difficulty to get near: enough to such wary game . as the :reindeer in winter, when the sound of the hunter's. footstebs, the soles of his shoes dre covered with fur, is carried on the, wind ;andr on be distinctly heard mere than a mile away. I have frequefitly beard the crunching, of the sled r)inners on the brittle - snow, a. ringing sound, like striking bars of steel,. . a distance of over two miles. * * * .The country is filled with reindeer, and' on every, hillside their biet.th can be seen rising like clouds of iteam.` A herd that was frightened by.the dogs which were. following tho' musk ox tracks scampered off in eery direc tion, and it looked as if .a lot of loco motives had been let loose over the countryi the smoke comingtrom their lungs in great putts es thejrjran, and streaming along behind them. When the sledges are moving during a clear, cold day the position - of any one of them is known to the team, though they may be widely separated. §ome times, :or the advantage in bunting to be obtained that way, our igloo's elli MEE RISAADLEBB-OF DENUNCIATION FROM ANY QUARTER.' wire the pair „1 4 :L - -$ , .: - .;Lt , ,:::. , *: i-t Li have been separated by a day's march of about ten miles, and at that dia. tance the, condensed breath of the dogs and people could be- diStinotty seen and the position of the igloos located. " The country began to swarm with wolves now as well as with rein• deer,.and we would meet them daily. Often they would] come close to the igloos.; and one _night Toolooah shot one of three that were eating with our dogs the meat he had throWn ont, for food. They killed lin& ate four of%Equeesik's!dogs and attacked him when he went out of the igloo 'Le drive them off. He killed:two of Lie assailants w ith: ills rifle and two oth ers by_the most infernal traps ever devised. He set two keenly-sharpened knife - blades in the ice and covered them with blood, Which the wolves licked, at the same _time slicing their tongues, the cold keeping them from feeling the wounds 'at the time and their own warm blood tempting theta to continue until their tongues were so scarified that death *as inevitable. He also Prepared some Pills by roll ing up long 'strips of - whalebone bounlk,with sinew and hidden in meat, which freezing would hold to gether until . it., had I passed into the animals intestines,-when the meat having-thawed and the sinew digest ed the' whalebone Would open out and produce an agonting death. If anytidng-were bad enough treatment for wolves these.devices of Equeesik's might be so classed. Toolooah was out hunting on the 21d of February, when a pa...-k of abouttwenty wolves 4tacked him. He jumped upon a _big rock, which Was soon surrounded, and there he fought the savage beasts off,' with the butt of fifii gun until he got a sure shot, when l killed one, andrwhile,the others !blight over and devoured the ,carease he made the best of the. opportunity to ffet.back into camp..lt was apoSt fortunate escape, as he , fully realized. " About five miles inland from, Starvation •Cove the natives, had Sound during the :summer- the skele ton, of a white man, which no one had ever seen before. On the way down Henry visited the place and , erected i monument over the remains. The pieces of clothing found indicate that ,debeased was a sailor, not an officer. * *" * * I Narleyow led them to a place In the branch Of the river flow ing to the westward of this island, where he,Said a rocky ridge froze to the bottom, waking a poeket which held fish. They dug four holes with in an area of ten feet, and'in one day caught fifty-seven of the immense Almon for which this river is famous. Ike cooked one for us, _which !ma's' the largest I ever saw. Joe' measured the cross section of.orie he saw in the natives igloos before our camp that measured over one foot I asked him hOw much over, but he couldn't tell, he said, as his pocket measure was ' Only a. root long.' The large‘t number offish that are caught here are what the natives call ‘tow7e-sil7 . . liki' and are Kcal* to•_these Waters. They are something like very large herring, „anti the. flesh \ much coarser thbril.Salmon or trout. - All the fish here are quite fat, the salmon espe cially. We. bought .several bags of salmon oil from the• :natives,. which we : used,tio long as it lasted, -Ifs a substitute for reindeer tallow, which is all gone now. The weather is hi tensely celd- 7 132 'degrees Fahrenheit on - the .10th,.the day the remainder of our party rejoined tie at thia,camp. "The rapids On -Back's River are all -marked by open - water; and are recognizable at .a long distance by the column of black '.smoke arising from. them like steam froin a boiling caldron. The..ice in the .Vicinity is dangerous to travel upon,there Often being thin places, - where the moving dater - has nearly but not quite -tut through, and ; not distil guishable from the §hrroundbr ice ; which may be four-or five ,feet ° thick. ' The na tives test it before going upon it with .a knife or stick, and know from the sound . whether - or not. -it is safe to . travel upon..
