that all her hardship, enterprise and

. How eminently this blessing is owing

narrative of the incidents that befel

by whieh the Advance was tested, in
those hitherto unknown and untravclled
seas Truly, God was onthe waters
shaping the destiny of this great mission of Charity, even though fated not
to discover the long-lost wanderer.
But let us begin’ Our narrative :
The American Expedition entered
Wellington's Sound Aug. 26th, 1850,
where they met Capt. Penny with the
Lady Franklin and Sophia, and were
afterwards joined by Sir John Ross
-{and Com. Austin.
Penny discovered unmistakable evidence of Franklin's first winter quarters--three graves with inscriptions on
wooden headboards, dating as late as
On the 27th, Capt.
April, 1846. Their inmates, accord:
ing to these inscriptions, were of his
crew—two from the Erebus and one
trom the Terror. There were besides
fragments of torn canvas, articles of
clothing, wood and cordage, undoubted
evidence of a large and Jong eucampment; but affording no indications
which would serve as guides to the
searchers or give assurance to hope.
On the 8th of September the expedition forced through the ice to Bar-. flinching purpose he once more bore their business; they give me c

caped being locked in the ice. But
they so far succeeded, and on the 11th
reached Griffith’s Island, the ultimate
limit of their Western progress. From
this they set sail on the 13th, with the
intention of returning to the United
States, but were locked in, near the
mouth of Wellington's Channel. Here
commenced those perilous adventures,
any thing comparable to which, were
never encountered and survived. By
force of the northern icedrift the
were helplessly drifted to 75° 25° N.
lat., and thence drifted again into’ Lancaster Sound, somewhat, we should
say, in a southeasterly direction. The
agitation of the ice elevated the Advance nearly seven feet by the stern,
and kecled her two feet eight inches
starboard.
In this position she remained, with
some slight changes, for five consecutive months. And, while in it, the
depth of winter closed its frozen terrors arotind the expedition. The polar
night fell upon them, and, for eighty
days, no ray of solar light broke upon
them. The thermometer (Fahrenheit)
ranged 40 degrees below zero, and
sometimes sank to 46. Early in this
awful night, (November 5th), the
Rescue was abandoned, for the purpose
of economizing the fuel, and the crews
of both vessels determined to brave
their fate together. They every moment expected the embracing ice would
crush the vessels to atoms, and, conscquently, stood prepared, sleeping in
their clothes with knapsacks on their
bucks, to try chances on the ice, mid
storm, and terror, and night. For this
terrible trial, they had made every

ihe usual remedies, and only three
men escaped the attack. Captain De
Haven was himself the greatest sufferer. The constant use of fresh
water, obtained from melted ice, active
mental and physical exertion, and the
vare of Divine Providence, arrested
