it will be remembered that the Fox effec
ted her escape out of the main pack in Davis'
Straits in let. 634- des. N. on , the 25th of
April, 1858, after a Winter's ice drift of 1,194
geographiCal miles. The small•settlement of
liolsteinborg was reached on the 28th, and
such very scanty supplies obtained as the
place afforded.
On the Bth of May our voyage was re
commenced, Godhaven and Upernivik visited
Melville Bay, entered early iti June, and
crossed to Cape. York by the 26th ; here
some natives were 'communicated with; they
immediately recognized Mr. Petersen, our In
terpreter, formerly, known ;to' them in the
Grinnell expedition 'under ,Dr. groe. In re
ply to our inquiries for the Esquimaux dog
driver Mint, left behind from the Adiance id
1858 1 they told us that be : was residing at
Whale Sound.. Bad be been there I would
most gladly have embarked him, es his lung
ing to retold to South Greenland continues
unabated.
, On-the 12th at July communicated with
the Cape Warrender Datives, Dear Cape Hors
burgh ; they had not seen any ships since
the.visit of the Phoenix in /854, net have
any wrecks ever drifted upon. their shores.
It was not until the 27th of July that we
reached Pond's inlet, oaring to a most unusu
al precalence of ice in the northern portion
of I.lafen'aßay, and which rendered our pro
gras since leaving Ilcrlsleinberg• one of in
creasing struggle. Without steam power
we could havedune nothi ng . He re on l y one
old woman and a boy were found, but they
rued to pilot us up the inlet for twenty-five
mile., when we arrived at their village. Fur
about a week we were in constant and most
interesting communication with these Mend
ly people. . Barfly, the infest:nation obtained
from them was that nothing whatever re•
specting the Flanklin Expedition, bad come
to their knowledge, nor had any wrecks with
in the last twenty or thirty years reached
their shores.
The remains of three 4tecked ships are
known to them; ter() of these appeario have
been the whalers Dexterity and Aurora,
wrecked in August, 1821, Borne seventy or
eighty, miles southward of... Pound% Inlet.
The third vessel , now almoit buried in the
sand, lies a few mites east of Cape Ray:This

Rae's slot to Repulse 114, describing his
hoais as similar to our whale boat, and his
party as living in tents within snow' hosses,
smoking pipes, shooting reindeer, &c. None
died. They remained.there only one Winter.
No rumor of the lost expedition bad reach
ed the= Within Pond's 'lnlet the natives
told us that the ice decays away every year,
but so long as any remains whales abound.
.erreral large whales' were- 'seen, by os, and
we found among the wnives a considerable
quantity of whalebone and many nareale
horns, which they were anxious to barter for
knives, files, saws, rifles and wool; they drew
us some rude charts of the inlet, showing that
it expands into an extensive-channel looking
westward into Prince Regent's Inlet. -
The provisions and stores seemed in per
fect order, but a small boat was much dam
aged from having been turned overand rolled
along the beach try a storm. Tne roof of the
house received some necessary repairs. ft
During Autumn attetops, were made to
carry 'tint depots of provisions toward the
magnetic Ole, but these almost entirely fail
ed io consequence of the disruption of the ice
to the southward. Lieu:mu s t Hobson return

upon which they were encamped became-de

tbough the-lass of the engine dower in 1857,
and of the engineer in in 18&8, left us with
only two storkers, yet, with their assistance,
I was able to control the engines and steam
the strip up to Fury Point. • _
Fur six days we lay; there closely beset,

when a change of wind removing the tee, our
voyage was continued almost 'without 'further
interruption to Godbaven, in Disco, where we
arrived on the 24th of August, and were re
ceived with greatikindness by Mr. Oliek, In
spector of North Greenland, and the local
authorities, who kindly supplied our few
wants.
The two Kqqnimatiz dog-drivels were now
discharged, and on the Ist of Sept. we sailed
for Engtand.
- From all that can 'be gleamed from the
moor(' paper, and tbelividence afforded by
the boat, and various articles of clothing
and equipment discovered, it • *pikers that
the abandonment of the Erebus and Terror
bad been deliberately arranged, and every
effort exerted during .the third Winter to
render traveling equipments complete.
It is much to be apprehended. that 'disease
bad greatly reddced the strength of all on
board, far more perhaps than they themselves
were aware of.
The distance by sledge route, from the po
sition of the ships when abandoned, to the
boat is sixty-five geographical miles, and
from the ships to Montreal Islands 220 miles.
The most perfect order seems to have pre

his putt and pretty wife, as they sat beside
her work table, one December eve.
"Oh, no;" and she colored a little, adding—

"And have people say I am ,a childish little
thing, and no suitable wife for such a grave,

laughed gaily.
"But I desire it, indeed Id°, dear Ilaitie,"
and he kisrd the sweet '

without curls, for I never saw you with your
hair arranged so plainly before. While we

"I do-not think any one would remark it,"

it again !"
"Give up the curls, and-let me have the

Mrs. &gummed boarding-house was cert
ainly sufficiently retired frurn the arbitrary
sway of fashion or etiquette, for the boarders
to consult their own inclinations, which the
arajatity of them did. Mrs. Bentley, their
landlady, was a quiet woman, a widow with
no dildreo, and greatly given to minding
her own busit.ess, and this, with the liberal
home comfotts.she supplied, ,ao charmed ber
boarders that they rarely left her, and the so

removed from formality, was not allowed to
degenerate into contemptuous familiarity.

simplicity of her newly wedded life, she seem

Mr. &Yamr always took his breakfast at
the first table, and as but few were present,
Mrs. Seymour's curl papers, covered as they
were by a drooping black lace head-dress,
were not noticed at all. Her husband could
not refrain from laughing a little at her, is
he gave her his morning parting kiss.'
After she had put her rooms in order, she
began to takedown her curls, and training
them over her fingers, shook them 'out with
the old saucy toss, of her dainty little bead.
She could not tsfrain from .smiling
- at the
transformation, and allowed herself tat she
did look prettier and youlter with these obi

she awaited her husband's return anxiously.
