On All Souls' Sight the dead walk on
Kingston Bridget Old Isptnd.
On Kingston Bridge the starlight shone
Through hurrying mist the shrouded
glow :
The boding night-wind nirle its moan,
The mighty river crept below :
Twas AH Souls' Sight, and to and fro
The quick and dead together walked,
The cjuick end dead together talked.
On Kingston Bridge.
Two meet who have not met for years
Their hate was once to deep for fears :
One drew his rapier as he came
l"p leapt his anger like a flame ;
With clash of mail he faced his foe.
Ami bade him stand and meet him so.
He felt a graveyard wind go by
Cold, cold as was his enemy ;
A stony horror held him fait.
The Dead looked with a ghastly stare,
And sighed, "I know thee not," and passed
Like to the mist and left him there
On Kingston Bridge.
'Twas All Souls' Xight, and to and fro
The quick and dead together walked,
The quick and dead together talked,
On Kingston Bridge.
Two met who had not met for years ;
With grief that was too deep for tears
Tbey parted last.
He clasped her hand, and iu her eves
He sought Love's rapturous surprise.
"O Sweet !" he cried, "hast thou come bark
To say thou lov'st thy lover still ?"
Into the starlight pale and cold
She gazed afar her band was chilL ,
"Dost thou remember how we kept
Our Ardent vigils ? how we ki'sed ?
Take thou these kisses as of old !"
An icy wind about him swept ;
"I know thee not," she sighed, and passed
Into the dim and shrouding mist
On Kingston Bridge.
'Twas All Souls' Xight, and to and fro
The quick and dead together walked,
The quick and dead together talked.

"Pretty ? Xo ; but gentillc. Fig
ure to yourself une blonde Slees ;
and hair, ah ! a nympb, undulated,
sparkling, magnificent !"
'-But not pretty ?"
"Well, scarcely perhaps ; but a
voice! Ah! not a little nlet devoix,
but a voice like a silver bell clear,
sympathetic."
"Shall I like 'la blonde Mees ?'"
"Like her, yes ; love her, nov: for
she has no fortune."
So far I had beard overheard :
let me avow my dishonorable action.
But I was 'Ja blonde .Mees,' and it
too tempting an opportunity ! The
window was open ; I was outside,
lazily enjoying a dreamy siesta in
the rose bower, when I beard the
murmur of voices. My godmother
was talking of me ; and the deep,
pleasant voice asking so many ques
tions about my insignificant self was
no other than her august nephew,
the son of her only sister, who had
married an Englishman her favor
ite, Horace Vernor. 'No fortupe in
deed," I repeated softly, and then,
clear as a bell, I struck up the old
song :
'My face is my fortune, sir, she said,
Sir, she said, sir, she said.'
Over and over again, with every va
riety of intonation, I sang the words.
Suddenly I ceased. Instinctively I
felt he was nearing the window and
meditating a descent in search of the
singer, nastily l nea; tear lent
wings to my feet ; blindly I made a
dash at the clipped yew hedge and
its labyrinthine paths, when sudden
ly I stumbled, and should have fal
len but lor the arms hospitably out
stretched to safe me. Recovering
myself quickly I drew back with
hastv dignity and exclaimed in mv
best French, ".Monsieur !"
lie bowed. -Mademoiselle, are
you hurt ?" he said, managing to in
fuse much tender solicitude into the
few words. Then, with a quick look
at me, before I could answer, be add
ed : "Let me introduce myself. I
am Howard Vernon ; and you must
be Miss Eugenie Everard. I have
been bearing all about you from my
aunt."
I bowed and colored vividly.
"Yes ! 'La Blonde Mess,'" I could
not help retorting with a smile.
"Ah ! you overheard us ?" he cried
with a ludicrous expression of dis
may. Anger and the demon of coquetry
prompted me there and then to take
off my godmother, and I replied in
her voice : "Like her, yes ; love her,
no ; for she has no fortune."
The next moment I felt awkward
and confused, for I had hardly re
alized the meaning of the words.
Mr. Vernon laughed.
"Well," he said. "I promise."
"Promise what?"
"To like you." .
He offered me a well-shaped
brown band, into which, after a mo
ment's hesitation, I put my own.
The fingers closed over it in a pro
tecting clasp, and I could not but
look up gratefully into the hand
some sunburnt face and the merry
blue eyes gazing down upon me. as
I acknowledged the compact we
were making.
Of course my readers will have
already decided that I, Eugenie Ev
erard, shall presently fall in love
with Mr. Vernon ; that he will re
ciprocate the tender feeling, and
thereby break his aunt's heart, and
upset all of her deep-laid plans. But
the clear-sighted reader does not
know that I am turned nineteen and
have passed those important years
in the gay town of London, where I
have left an inconsolable lover. A
certain Reverend Robert Duncombe,
whose betrothal ring I wear on the
orthodox finger, and whose photo
graph I have duly set in a large
golden locket, with "the touching
Greek words A. E. L on one side,
and the impossible monogram of R.
D. L. Jv in raised tuigree work on
the other.
Robert is of a saving nature and
i has limited our correspondence to
three times a week, but he never al
lows a day to pass without writing,
and the budget when it does come
is a daily journal of his uneventful
life. He wished me to follow tbe

mora than reply to the folios as I re
ceive them, so much for my side.
On tbe other, there s a certain heir
ess with a very large dot (millions
of francs) destined for Monsieur
Horace. Bonne-maman particular
ly impressed this upon me when she
told me she expected her nephew at
Dinard. 1 have not long since ar
rived from England on a six month's
visit to Bonne-maman, otherwise La
Comtcsse Eugenie Reine Marie
d'Harcourt, my mother's old school
friend, and my gddmother. I was
but a baby when I lost both my
parents. After mv father, Colonel
Everard's death, I lived with my un
cle, but misfortune seemed to claim
me as her own ; my poor aunt died

hearted, drifted back into an aimless
state of bachelorhood. I felt a bur
den upon him. Eagerly he availed
himself ot Madame d Harcourt s in
vitation to me, ana promptly saw
me offto Southampton, from whence
1 was shipped to bt. Malo. Iberel
was met bv the Countess's ruan-of-
all-work, Jean Pierre, and with him
crossed over to Dmard, where Bonne
mamnn lived in a bright, cheerful
white house, with green jalousies,
standing in an old-fashioned garden,
being near the beach and the lovely
bay with its glittering sands of
sparkling black granite. Madame
d'Harcourt gave me a hearty wel
come to Maison Malounie, and Per-
nne, the - comely, black haired,
bright-eyed maid, stared at me ap
provingly, and admired my travel
ing garb of English alpaca as much
as I did her wonderful lace cuffs,
fixed on with gold pins, and her
black silk bib apron over her neat
stiflgown. "
A month had passed rapidly, and
I never wavered in my belief in my
godmother until this fatal morning,
when 1 experienced the truth of the
old adage, and listening had heard
no good of myself. I was nothing.
absolutely nothing to Bonne-mo.
man. All her heart was with the
young man who had only just arriv
ed from England, with whom she
had been discussing me as a strang
er, as it l snoulu ever seek to win
the affections of an engaged man !
Moreover, am I not myself engaged?
Shall I tell her, and make her quite
comfortable ? No ; I resolve I will
not do so, but let her feel, if ever so
slightly, uneasy.
l es, we are both safe, 1 will make
myself as fascinating as I can. Hor
ace Vernon is to marry Mdlle. Berthe
i'ontac, and 1 am to marry the Kev.
Robert, so there can be no harm in
a little flirtation, and I shall let
things take their course.
II.
Things do take their course, and
a very pleasant course it is. The
days pass quickly, and I have no
time to write letters. The Dinard
bathing season will soon be at its
height The Parisian world, includ
ing Mdlle. Berthe de Pontac, will be
here so Bonne-maman tells me ;
Horace never mentions her. I often
long to ask him about her, but a
shy feeling closes my lips. Do I
dread that her name should break
the spell of happiness cast around
my life ?
Alas ! after some weeks ot delight
ful enjoyment, the spell was broken,
and by Bonne-maman.
Horace had fired my imagination
by a glowing account of fresh black
berries, the finest, blackest, sweetest
that ever were seen. Working upon
my enthusiasm, he promised to take
me a-black berrying.
The next morning, in high glee,
we sallied forth ; he armed with a
stout hooked stick, I with a basket.
Past a cottage, with a bright-eyed
maiden tending her pet lamb in the
kitchen, while her mother was sit
ting at the spinning-wheel in the
morning sun. Through lanes so
narrow, we hail to scramble up the
steep bank to let the great white
horses with the lumbering wagons
go by. Through bush, through bri
ar, we went and never a blackberry
did I see, At last, I ventured to re
mark upon the singular fact of the
flowers and buds being still in full
bloom. I heard a slight chuckle,
and looking up at my companion's
face, saw a mild gleam of fun in it
"Well, you must indeed be a cock
ney born, to think of expecting
blackberries in August." For a mo
ment I - was put out, then joining in
his merriment I contented myself
with the wreath of wild flowers he
had gathered.
From this merrv excursion we re
turned in high glee and good humor,
my basket laden with flowers, mv
hat decorated with berries and
brightly tinted leaves. Bonne-maman,
contrary to her usual hospital
ity, did not invite Horace to stay.
and he went off there and then to
his hotel. Then, having removed
my protector, I was treated to a long
lecture on my reckless disregard of
the proprieties. Were these English
manners or the want of them ? Ihis
running about the country with
young men tor untold hours, this
liberty was unheard of in France,
and I must, at least while under her
roof, conform to French usages ; un
married girls could not be too par
ticular. Conscience-stricken, I could find
no words of excuse. The hot blood
dyed my face, unshed tears made
my eyes burn. Stooping, I kissed
Bunne-maman in silence, and step
ping through the open window into
the garden I wandered away out of
sight Yes ; I had been unmaiden
ly, immodest, undignified. Dishon
orable, too. forgetting my plighted
troth If only Bonne-maman and
Mr. Vernon knew, how they would
despise me. Heartsick, I turned
away from the garden and sought
the solitude of the orchard. There,
alone, under the shadowy trees, I
could think it out My eyes ached
my head burned ; I was humbled
to the dust, to have failed, when I
felt so sure of mvself f Playing with
fire, how could f escape ? And he
never in words had he confessed his
love, but by a thousand trifles light
as air I felt that he loved rue. And
Berthe ? Ah ! I thought bitterly, he
may like roe but he will marry her.
Will he love her? I threw myself
on the soft cool grass, hiding my
face with my hands, and trying to
shut out the pain, the Borrow and
the shame, heedless of time and the
passing hours.
Suddenly a hand was placed on
mine, and I started up. As I did so,
my chain caught, the links broke,
and mv locket fell open at Horace's
feet before closing and returning
it, he said, "May I ?" and looking at
the portrait, remarked, "Your fath
er's likeness ?"
I shook my head, and pointing to
the pearl ring I wore, said bravely :
''No ! I am engaged."
"Engaged I" His voice was husky.
"Then you have beenamusin?vn;ir-
self flirting to keep your hand in?"
Ana witnout another word, but with
the most hopeless expression I ever
saw, he threw the locket down and
left me.
I tottered to my feet. I was aveng
ed he would despise me as a flirt,
but he could not accuse me of riv
ing my love unasked, or forcing it
upon a man who was not free. If
he were engaged, why, so was I. We
were quiis.
W ith treuiblins hands I drew off
the fatal ring, and going to my room
laiu n witn tne locket and addressed
the parcel to the Rev. Robert Dun
combe, and straightway wrote and
asked for my freedom. I could bear
the thrall no more. I must be free.
I wrote kindly, feeling dimly the
pain 1 was inflicting ; bnt at all risks

Horace was stavine at Dinan.
The Baroness de Pontac had arrived,
and called on Mme. d'Harcourt. Of
course, on Horace's return he would
be dancing attendance on his nan
cee.
lvobert had written. I was too
depressed to feel wounded at the
tone of his reply, or might have re
sented his agreeing with me on the
desirability of breaking off the en'
gagement. In a ostscripthe added
that be had the promise of the vicar
age of Capel-le-Ferne, and its 1,500
a year ; and I came to the conclu
sion that bis joy at his worldly ad
vancement had taken away the sting
from his heart's adversity. I was
thankful that it was so. The morn
ing was clear and bright and a swim
in the sea was a tempting remedy to
drown dull care, so 1 strolled down
eisurely to the beach. I was late,
and when I emerged from my "ca-
bane found a crowd of gossiping
idlers in possession of every chair
and available 6eat Not a nook or
corner but was filled with gay cou
ples, working, smoking and "frivol-
Classically draped in my white
wrapper, my hair piled up on high,
undisfigured with the oilskin cap
that French ladies affected, I hur
riedly walked through the criticis
ing audience, and leaving my man
tle in Perrine's care, was Boon dis-porting-myself
in the crisp sunny
waves. After a longer swim than
usual I waded out a dripping Niobe.
I looked for Perrine ana my wrap
pei in vain ; she was nowhere to
be seen. After a momentary hesita
tion I prepared to run the gauntlet
of th assembled multitude and
make a quick rush at my sheltering
"cabane.
With a sudden inspiration, I un
loosed my long hair and let its shin
ing golden glory fall around my cos
tume, thereby trying to feel a little
less abject, and so made my way
through the "mob," as I spitefully
called the loungers surrounding the
cahanes. With a ludicrous sense of
humiliation and flaming cheeks, I
saw Horace in a lively conversation
with a Parisian elegante, exactly in
front of my haveu of refuge. I made
a frantic dart at the canvas door, to
be greeted with the sight of an un
mistakable pair of manly boots. I
turned and fled oh ! miserie ! in
my confusion I bad forgotten the
number. I must pass them, vague
ly wondering if beach etiquette ex-
r:cted me to acknowledge Horace,
prepared for another dash when
a lady kindly pointed out a canvas
tent with a polite "e'est la, mademoi
selle," and I rushed in to hide my
blushes under the friendly canvas.
On my return, Bonne-maman told
me that she expected the Baroness
de Pontac and her daughter and
Horace.
Although I was broken-hearted,
vanity was not dead ; I determined
to look my best I gathered my
hair in a knot, and placed among
the wavy fringe of curls some gor
geous crimson tionias. I half fear
ed a rebuke from Bonne-maman as
to being over-dressed so slipped on
a black silk gown, wherein I had
artfully inserted a white lace tucker
and shiny jet embroidered ruffles:
another cluster of scarlet tinnias ana
black mittens finished off the severe
and becoming costume, in which I
entered the room prepared to make
the acquaintance of the hateful de
Pontacs.
Mdlle Berthe only was there, ar
rayed in fashionable attire, and I
was scarcely surprised to recognize
in her Horace's lively companion of
the morning. Horace behaved beau
tifully in Bonne-maman 's eyes. Af
ter greeting me coldly, he overlook
ed my insignificant pretence, lost in
the overpowering brilliancy of the j
sparkling and amusing Berthe. She
absorbed him entirely. They were j
makinsr arrangements for a trip to
Mount St Michael, where he and I
had talked of going. How wretch
ed I felt how wild with the scraps I
heard : "Train from St Malo car
riage at Dol, on tbe Hospice." I
must make a diversion, and some
what abruptly asked Mdlle. de Pon
tac to play or sing. ' In Tain Bonne
maman objected that it was getting
dusk and she did not want lights,
as I rested her eyes. Mdlle. Berthe,
gracefully shaking out her puffs and
laces, sweetly observed that she
would play for Mme. d'Harcourt,
and sing for Mademoiselle.
She rattled through a noy and
brilliant niece, and then her voice,
sharp and metallic, filled the air :
"Si vous n'avez rien a me dire." She
vi singing it at Horace, who, ap
parently buried in thought was pit-
tine near her. I wondered if he re-4
membered it as one of tbe songs I
had often sung to him. Bonne-maman
coughed and fidgeted and shiv
ered ; Mdlle. Berthe bravely sung
on, sometimes fiat, sometimes sharp,
finishing at Last on a note that jarred
- (p
every nerve and fibre.
Horace was profuse in thanks.
and I, too thanked her, and added
immediately : "shall 1 sing you a
little English ballad?" Bonne-ma
man interrupted me to order the
lamp, but I maliciously remarked
that I would sing a twilight song
hret. i could not resist my antici
pated triumph. Straight from my
heart the words rang out, "In the
Gloaming," and vibrating strangely
through the dusk came the farewell
to my love, mine no longer : "Best
for yon and best for me."
I must have sung better than us
ual, from the deep silence paid as
tribute to my talent, and undercover
of darkness I rose, and stealing
silently to the door, sought tbe
friendly night wherein to bide my
sorrow. Perrine met me with the
lamp, and, leaving the hateful light
and the happy circle, I turned away
to the garden. ,
IV.
Hurriedly I went, past the clipped
yew hedge, to tbe stone seat, on
which I sank, and burying ray face
in my hands burst into passionate
tears. I was young, and this my
first sorrow seemed too great a
burthen. I heard footsteps, and
shrinking back into the shadow of
the hedge, waited breathlessly. They
were passing when the treacherous
moon shone out and bathed me in a
flood of silvery light A hand was
kindly laid upon my head. There,
in all the glory of his six-foot stat
ure, in the white shining moonlight,
stood Horace, looking down with
kind and pitying eyes upon the tear
stained face uplifted to him ; and in
the winning voice of old I heard my
name.
"Eugenie, what is it ?"
"Nothing," I murmured.
He bent to hear my trembling an
swer.
"Nothing that I can do ?"
.Nothing tnat 1 can undo, I re
plied.
Lower and lower he bent, and
nearer and nearer, in dangerous
proximity, had it not been for Ber
the. Her shadow was between ua.
Tenderly taking my cold hands in
his, he stroked them gently. . Sud
denlv he gave a start.

always, or a fellow may be tempted
to forget himself."
"And you, I replied ; "you too
should wear a ring. French hus
bands do, and you should, do in
Rome as the Romans do."
But I am only half French," he
laughed, "and I might marry an
Lnghsh girl : then I need not wear
a nne. .
Berthe de Pontac is very French,"
1 returned.

The words slipped out and before
1 could cough them down I was m
his arms and smothered with kisses.
-re l could realize my nappmess a
discreet cough sounded from the
path, and we started apart to see
Perrine slowly advancing.
"liow touching of her to warn ns "
said Horace. "A fellow-feeling
makes us wondrous kind ; ?he s set
ting her cap for Pierre."
"Her cap! 1 laurfied heartily.
"and such a cap !"
Monsieur was wanted to escort
Mdlle. Berthe, and Madame wanted
Mademoiselle.
I could not sec Bonne-maman. I
trembled guiltily at the thought
With a whispered "Till to-morrow'"
we parted Horace to convoy Mdlle.
Berthe to her lordly chateau, I
through the kitchen to my bower. I
hastily undressed and sought my
couch. Half an hour later, wheal
Bonne-maman entered on tip-toe, J
Fret ended to be asleep. Even then
feared she must read my secret on
my face. She turned away with
a' little sigh, and I felt a terrible
humbug. My intense happiness
frightened me. and in vain I tried to- j
sleep. At last towards morning. I
fell into a doze, from which I awokft
with a feeling of coming evil.
V.
The feeling was verified. The
nex morning Bonne-maman wan too
ill to rise. I sat near her, and after
awhile she murmured in a feeble
voice, "Eugenie, my child, I should
like you to stay with me ; always,
if your uncle will notobject When
Horace is married I shall be very
lonely. Will you utay, dear, until
you, too, marry and leave the old
woman ?"
The blood flamed in my cheeks ;
I stooped and kissed her fondly.
"I will not leave you, Bonne-maman.
nnless unless you .. send me
away."
While I was speaking tbe doctor
came. Alas, my dread forebodings
were realized j Bonne-rx aman was
indeed ill, stricken with typhus fe
ver. And so my dream ended. I look
ed my last upon Horace. He was
obliged to leave for England, and
the doctor was to telegraph him bul
letins of Madame d Harcourt's
health. In vain he urged me to let
the sisters of charity take my place
beside her I was firm. A duty
was before me clear and distinct,
I was needed by the kind old lady
who had befriended me and offered
me a borne. True to the old friend,

Throwing a scarf around my head,
I stood before the closed window
and tapped lightly .instantly it flew
open and I was clasped in the arms
of my stalwart lover.
He laughed my fear of infection
to scorn, suggested a warm climate
for Bonne-maman, a month or two
at Cannes and as I also needed a
thorough rest, he proposed chang
ing Miss Eugenie Everard to Mrs.
Horace Vernon.
I think Perrine must have put

The Gubernatorial Nomination.
It is now less than six weeks un
til the meeting of the State Conven
tion. Although the time for mak
ing a choice of candidates is so near
at hand, yet the discussion an to
who they should be is remarkably
dulL Quite a number of counties
have elected delegates and given
them instructions, but there has
been little contest anywhere at the
primaries. Enough has been devel
oped, however, by the expressions
from various parts of the State to
show that General Beaver is un
questionably the choice of liepub
Lcan3 for Governor. We regard
his nomination as a foregone con
clusion, and can truthfully say that
it is one we can cheerfully indorse.
He was our preference tour years
ago and we were sorryttentossshim
set aside for a less worthy man. it
is true that since that tims he has
made some political moves which
wc did not like and have not hesi
tated to criticise, and yet after all
we regard him as being the man,
and perhaps the only one in the
State, upon whom all factions of the
party can unite, and under whose
leadership the old Commonwealth
may certainly bo kept in the Repub
lican line. While General Beaver's
candidacy has been favored and ap
proved by some party leaders who
are obnoxious to many Republicans,
it is neverthelesa true that hu strong
est support comes from the people.
Mr. Cakerox shows his good sense
and political sagacity by supporting
tha ne-leeeed veteran and the fact
that he has chosen for since so un
exceptionable a man i- a recogni
tion of the popular uoipunds and
shows that he appreciates the state
of party feeling. No Republican
should oppose General "Heavkb. sim
ply because he holds Jl La.mkon's
friendship. He was .- caudidate
once before and Mr. Cameros did
not aid him. He is a candidate
now, and we believe would be aic
cessfal one, even if Mr. Camerox
opposed him. We repeat, therefore,
that no Republican should oppose
him merely because a leader wh- is
distasteful favors him. We earnest
ly hope for Republican success in
the important elections of this year,
and with good nominations ana the
State ticket properly distributed as
to locality, and with both wings of
the party fairly represented thereon,
we see no reason why the State
could not safely be counted on for
the usual majority. We believe
General Beaver to be pre-eminently
the man to head the ticket. His
character and claims are too well
known to be dwelt upon. Moreo
ver, hd has a peculiar hold on the
people of our county and an almost
"local pride" would render him
strong among us as a candidate.
To those who criticise him for his
course at the Chicago Convention
we commend Mr. Blaine in Lis
great eulogy when he said that Ga
fielp cared not so much what
man believed if he honestly believ
ed it So, if General Beaver has
honestly differed with many Repub
licans on the question of National
candidates he should not be found
fault with if in all other respecta he
is acceptable and possesses the qual
ities which insure success. rfiA

"It is mv desire", and the wish rf
the government of the United States
of America, and of th projectors of
the American expedition, that a
diligent and constant search be
made for my missing comrades of
both boat. Lieutenant De Long
and his party, consisting of twelve
persons, will be found near the west
bank of the Lena river. They are
south of the small hunting station
which is west of the house known
among the Yakouts as Qu Vina.
They could not possibly have march
ed as far south as Bulcom. There
fore, be they dead or alive, they are
between Qu Vina and Bulcom. I
have already traveled over this
ground, but I followed the river
bank : therefore it is necessary that
a more careful search be made on
the high ground back from the river
a short distance, as well a along
tbe river bank. I xiuined many
huts and small houses, but could
not of couse examine all of them.
Therefore, it is necessary that every
house, large and small, shall be ex
amined for books and papers or the
persons of the party. Men without
food and with but little clothing
would naturally seek shelter in hu'a
along the Une of march, and, if ex
hausted might die in one of the huts.
They would leave their books and
papers in a hut if unable to carry
them farther. If they carried their
books and papers south of that sec
tion of the country, between Mot
Bulcom, they will b- found piled up
in a heap and some prominent ob-
ject erected near them, if not on top
them, in case books and papers
are found, they are to be sent to the
American minister resident at St
Petersburg. If they are found in
time and can be forwarded to me
before I leave Russia forward them
to me. The persons of the dead I
wish to have carried to a central
5ortion most convenient of access to
olun : all placed inside of a small
house, arranged side by side for fu
ture recognition, the hut then se
curely closed and banked up with
snow and earth, and to remain so
until a proper person arrives from
America to make final disposition
of the bodies. In banking up tha
hut have it done in such a manner
that animals cannot get in and de
stroy the bodies, search for the
small boat, containing eight persons,
should be made from the west
mouth of the Lena to and beyond
the east mouth of the Jana river.
After the separation of the three
boats. No information has been
received concerning the small boat,
but as all three boats were destined
to Barkin and then to go to the
mouth of the Lena River, it is nat
ural to suppose that Lieutenant
Chipp directed his boat to Barkin if
he managed to weather the gale, but
if from any cause he could not find
a Lena mouth, he would continue
along the coast from Barkin west
for a north mouth of the Lena, or
south for an eastern entrance or
mouth of the Lena river. If still
unsuccesful in getting into the
Lena river, he might from stress of
weather, or other cause be forced
along the coast toward the Ajana
river. Diligent and constant search
is commence at once and to contin
ue till the people, books and papu
are found, care being taken that
vigilant and careful examination of
that section of the country where
Lieutenant De Long and his party
are known to be is made in early
spriog, when the snow begins to
leave the ground and before the
spring floods commence to overflow
the river banks. One or more
American officers will, in all proba
bility, be in Belun in time to assist
in the search, but the search men
tioned in these instructions is to be
carried on independent of any other
party, and to be entirely under the
control of competent authority of
Russia.
