(Received 28th September, 1850.) TO THE SECRETARY OF THE ADMIRALTY, LONDON. Her Majesty's ship North Star, Spithead, 28th September, 1850. Sir,—l have the honour to report, for the informa tion of my Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, an account of the proceedings of her Majesty's ship North Star, from the 19th July last year; up to which date their Lordships have already been made acquainted. After the boats of the Prince of Wales whaler left the ship on that date, I proceeded along the edge of the ice in search of an opening to get through the pack (as there was no land floe in Melville Bay), being occasionally compelled to make fast to a berg, or large floe, whenever our progress was impeded, either by the closing up of the ice or calm weather. In this way we continued making little or scarce any progress, until noon of Sunday, the 29th of July, being then in lat. 74 32 N. and long. 79 17 W., when a fine breeze sprung up from E.N.E., with clear weather, which enabled us to run between the, floes (which had considerably opened, leaving, wide lanes of water between them) at the rate of about five miles an hour. We continued running in this way as nearly in the direction of Cape York as the ice would allow us, and I then had great hopes that we should be enabled to get through without much detention ; but we were doomed to be again disap pointed, for about four ram. the ice began to close very rapidly from the southward, which prevented our further progress, and we were obliged to seek shelter in a bight in one of the largest floes we could see. The wind shifted to S.S.E., and blew a strong gale, with heavy rain. The ice, which was all in large floes, pressed against each other with great force, squeezing up and breaking in all directions. The ship being providentially placed in a bight or notch in the floe, to which she was ma de fast, we were en abled to veer her further into it , as the ed ge of the floe broke away by the outward p ressure ; and by that means kept her in the only poo l of w a ter to be seen, and prevented her from receiving any injury. The rudder was unshipped and hung across the stern, and the yard and stay-tackles got up, and everything prepared for hoisting the large boat out, in the event of any accident happening to the ship. A quantity of provisions was also got on the upper deck ready for placing in the boats, if wanted, and which were kept up during the whole time the ship was beset. At midnight it blew a very heavy gale with rain from S.S.E., which weather con tinued with little in termission for the two following days. We were thus beset by the ice from this date until the 26th Sept., and kept drifting about with it in a totally helpless condition ; every opportunity, however, was embraced of endeavouring to extricate the ship by heaving an d warping whenever the slightest opening took place in the ice. During the month of September the bay ice formed so strongly as to cement the whole mass together, forming one large floe. On the 21st of September it blew a strong gale from the eastward, and the ship drifted with the pack rapidly to the westward; and at about 5 P.M. the ice was opened in consequence of its coming in contact with an immense berg of some miles in circumference, which was lying aground, and kept breaking up the floes az they were carried against it with the current, the ship also drifting directly in front of it, and at 2 F.M. she was within a quarter of a mile of it. The yard tackles were got up on both sides, in readiness to get the large boat out, as it was impossible to say on which side they might be wanted, the ship being turned round in all,directions by the ice as it pressed in. We continued in this way until about midnight, when we were pushed round the inner edge of the berg, with a body of ice which bad now become very small by the immense • pressure and continued drifting with it to the north-west. Fortunately the ice was now small and much decayed, for had it not been so nothing could have saved the ship, and I fear crew also; for unlike a whaler, who, although severely , nipped, is kept afloat by her empty casks until provi sions can be got up sufficient to last for a long time ; with us it would have been quite otherwise, for being deeply laden, if nipped, would have sunk almost im mediately. On the 22d September the ship continued drifting in the same manner to the N.W. with the ice, which was continually coming in contact with the numerous bergs that were aground. At noon the latitu demob served was 75 3 8 N. and longitude 68 12 throughout the day the wind was blowing strong from the S.E. At 1, A.M., of the 23d we were much in the same perilous situation as we were at midnight of the 21st, being carried along in front of an immense iceberg which lay aground, and against which the ice was pressing with great force ; but the same Almighty Providence which had protected us on all former oc casions was equally kind in the present, a nd allowed us to be pushed clear of it, the ship passing along its easternmost side, about 300 yards from it. We continued drifting along the land in a most un safe and precarious situation, as the ice was carried about and broken up is its passage between the nu merous icebergs which lined the coast, until noon of the 26th of September, when we appeared to be drift ing directly towards Wolatenholme Island 1 and it was doubtful whether we should pass within or with out it. Here, providentially, the ice appeared much looser, caused by the water being much deeper, and allowing the bergs that had passed the ridge of others that were aground off Dudley Diggs (and which At it perfectly c l ear o f i c e, caused materially retarded the progress of the pack) now to P.M.) we opened Wolstenholme float Sound, a waanyd. observed aground off Cape Athol, m entering, and turned it b wo y uht is s ci i e e p r ro a ef l vte hnet icebergs eisdlatnhde.ee lyingf from All sail was immediately made on the ship (al though it was blowing a heavy gale) to force her through the ice. Fortunately the masts and yards held on, and she pushed her way through, and reached open water at 3 r.m. The rudder was then shipped, and we stood up the sound , anchoring in 19 fat homs, when it became dar k, On the 30th of September, after examining the sound, the ship was removed to winter quarters, at the head of the bay , and safely mo wed in hit. 76 I cannot sufficiently express the heartfelt j o y eve ry man and officer felt at this unexpected and mira culous dispensation of Providence in releasing us from the ice in the extraordinary manner in which we 33.0 N., long. 68 56.15 W. that were; for if we had not got in here, I fear very few, if any, of the crew would have survived the w inter, as it is more than probable the ship would have gone to pieces, and a sufficient quantity of provisions could n ot have been saved to have lasted them for so long a time.

It also fell to 6:31 on the 27th. The thermometer by which this was registered and the meteorological table was kept, I have carefully put away in order that it may be tested, as I believe that to he the coldest natural temperature ever registered. O n Monday, January 28, 1850, an Esquimaux was brought alongside in a sledge in a most deplorable condition from frost bites, and as his companions threw him off from it at the front of our ladder, making us to understand they wished us to cure him, I felt compelled, from h relumanity' l s sake, to rece i ve him on board, though uctanty, as he was much in the way of our men on the lower deck. For the first two months he appeared to do well, and I was in hopes we would be enabled to cure him ; and, in the meantime, as a sort of recompense, I expected to 111 make him understand our language sufficiently to in quire if he could give us any information respecting Sir John Franklin and his party, or any of the other Artie ships. However, in this I was disappointed, for although he was on board upwards of three months, he did not appear to understand us better than when he first came. His new mode of living being totally different to what be had been accus tomed, he became unwell, and died on the 9th of May. Our crew remained in good health and spirits throughout the winter, they of their own free will taking every necessary exercise until the month of April, when several slight cases of scurvy made their appearance ; and on the 12th of May the as sistant-surgeon (who examined the men every Mon day morning) reported to me that he feared we should have still more fresh cases, and recommended that vegetable diet or pickles should be supplied to them as a preventive. Having none on board for our own use, I felt it my duty to order that part of what we had on board for the Artic ships should be issued. I also directed that the crew should be put on a full allowance of bread, they having been on two-thirds during the winter, we not having had room to stow the same proportion of that species as of the other kind of provisions on leaving England. I regret to state that four of the men died, although neither of the cases could be attributed to the climate. I cannot help here mentioning the very great atten tion and kindness paid by Mr. James Rae, the as sistant-surgeon, to the sick under his care, on all occasions ; nor was it limited to that alone, for his attentions to the ventilation of the ship, and health and comfort of the crew, were his most anxious stuffy; and I received many valuable suggestions from him on these points. I therefore strongly recommend him to the favourable consideration of their Lordships. At the commencement of the severe season we were annoyed with steam from the galley, when a large ventilating funnel was placed over the coppers, and led up through the housing, which completely carried away all the steam ; several other smaller ones were got up in different parts of the ship, and I may state that throughout the whole season there was not a particle of damp on the lower deck, and the tempe rature was between 40 and 50. Not being fitted with the heating apparatus, I got a stove fitted in the gunroom, and another in the cabin, as also two on the lower deck , from which funnels led through all the cabins, keeping the tem perature to 'between 40 and 50, , and preventing any moisture from accumulating.. The officers were also enabled to dry their clothes, when a strong fire was kept up, by hanging them round about the funnels. As the spring and summer advanced shooting par ties were sent away, when all we succeeded in get ting was only about 50 hares and a few wild ducks. (Several foxes were also shot during the winter.) Beacons were erected on the north and south en trance of North Star Bay, in which were placed a cylinder, containing an account of our having win tered there, and intentions of proceeding to the west ward when liberated (a copy of which I enclose). A beacon was also erected to mark the place where the four men were buried, in which a similar notice was enclosed, having added to it their names, ages, and date of decease. When the weather became sufficiently warm to al low the carpenters to handle their tools in the open air, the ice was dug away from round the bows of the ship for three feet deep, to examine and repair what injury she received in coming through the ice last year, which was found to be very trifling ; the galvanised iron with which the bows had been covered was all ragged and torn off; it being thinner than copper was of ne protection to the wood, and only in jured the wards in hauling them across her bows. The iron casks in which we held our tar and oil were broken up and used for covering her bows, which made the ship in a much better condition for taking the ice than which she left England. The upper deck was then caulked, as the frost during the winter had drawn all the pitch out of the seams. The pitch in the seams of the ship's sides was found not to be in jured, having been protected from the intense cold by the snow embankment with which she was surrounded during the winter. During the month of June the rigging was re fitted and blacked down ; the sails repaired ' • the ship and boats painted, and everything got ready for sea. From this time the few cases of scurvy which had made their appearance in April now rapidly disap peared, and since then; we have all been perfectly healthy. About the Ist of July, everything being in readi ness for sea directly an opportunity might occur, my whole attention was directed to watching the prog ress of the dissolution of the ice ; and Mr. Leas k, th ice master, was sent to the top of a high hill every day to examine its state in the offing. The ice rapidly disappeared in the bay, the floe becoming covered with pools of water, and in many places holes formed right through which increased in number every day. All along the shore the ice was broken up by the tide, and it daily became more diffi cult to land. On the 13th of July, the water caused by the melting of the snow on the hills in the interior, which poured down like a river through the south ravine, had completely cracked the floe across, and opened it out from 20 to GO feet in width. I therefore determined to saw a canal down to it from the ship ; a distance of 2,030 yards. On the morning of the 16th we commenced our labours, be ginning from the ship and sawing towards the crack. On the evening of the 22d the two straight cuts were completed ; the ice varying in thickness from two to four feet and a half. On the 23d we commenced cross cutting, which account to form more than twice the above length, on of having been obliged to enlarge:the width of the canal one yard in every ten, to admit of the floating out of the pieces di cwia w nthepesgc h i ers—dal e eoyfl when the brought orde tomhsiu that much short r e nlhtt in the offing might open. n On the evening of the 25th the ice having become consideredsiot into tnproeo boardst ir t an e igna n ogl , l; astonishinglyt ht. io e aeerwscr s l eai a afotsop w t:uitnl s deadror a nmwfs n pdena d eauwndrt o nnte t aic h enosear e fl fyl r t;ajhel i stludi m threl eekdypsa disappearing—so eaoh m vsupeese e pp,irw n ecye t ah s frri was now broken weigh t h e so, that the water alongside the ship on the surface was perfectly fresh. On the morning of th e Ist A ug u s t the ship was got w an h d ole hauledef that out dy of and her the winter ext quarters,ull hands under where she had rema i ne d u p w ard s o f ten months. During were employed warping, heaving, and towing her through the ice in the sound, and, after very great exertions, succeeded in getting her into open wuter on the morning of the 3d. We then made sail and beat out between Wolstenholme Island and, the main, and stood to the westward. About 25 miles west of Wolstenholme Island we fell in with the pack or middle ice, which we entered, and after several vex atious stoppages and hard labour we succeeded in reaching open water at midnight of the 6th, and stood over for Possession Bay, on our passage to which, a distance of 150 miles, we did not meet with any ice, not even bergs. At eight P.M. of the Bth of August I sent a boat into Possession Bay to ascertain if there were any tidings of the Arctic ships, or any other information to guide me ; having failed last season in meeting with the Investigator, I was comparatively without instructions. At midnight the boat returned without having discovered any trace of the ships except Cap tain Sir James Ross's instructions to Captain Bird, dated July, 1848 (printed in Arctic Papers, marked C, page 4) ; also a notice from Captain Ross, stating that they got through the pack on the evening of the 22d August, 1848, examined Pond's Bay on the 23d, and left this notice on their way to Lancaster Sound on the 25th August. (A similar notice to this is printed in Arctic Papers, marked C, No. 11, p. 7, from Captain Bird.) Being desirous of obtaining observations for longi tude at this place to ascertain the relative position of our winter quarters, and the weather being foggy, I laid off and on until it might clear up for that pur pose, which it did on the afternoon of the 10th, when, having obtained the required observations, I left a no tice of my intention to proceed to Whaler Point, or to any of the other places mentioned in my instructions, to land the provisions. I then proceeded up Lancaster Sound, with a fine breeze from the eastward, and made the land near Whaler Poipt on the afternoon of the 12th, without meeting w ith any obstruction from ice. As we neared the land, we found the ice extending off Port Leopold about 12 miles. After trying every possible means to get the ship into the harbour until eight rest. of the 14th, and without perceiving the slightest prospect of suttees, I bore up for Port Bowen, having previously sent in a boat with a notice (a copy of which is enclosed), stating that finding no prospect of getting in there, I would endeavour to land the pro visions at Port Bowen or Port Neill. Captain Sir James Ross will already have ac quainted their Lordships of the provisions, stores , &c., which had been left there, and which appeared to me to remain exactly as they had been left. The housing or tent cover was very much torn and rot ten, and I should say in another winter will disap pear altogether. A copy of that notice I beg to enclose From the purport of that notice I was left in much doubt as to whether the ships had gone home ; and from the appearances of the ice, and the bad season last year, I deemed it advisable to land the provisions at all risks. On the evening of the 15th of August we examined Jackson's Inlet, Port Bowen, and Port Neill—all three of which places we found completely blocked up with heavy land floes of old ice. Finding it per fectly impossible to land the provisions here, I again stood over for Port Leopold, and on the 16th made another attempt to enter it, but I found the ice to ex tend much further off from it than before. The ice appeared to extend in a N.E. direction in a solid pack from Cape Clarence to the north side of Barrow's Straits, completely blocking up that strait, and also across Prince Regent's Inlet to the S.E., where it reaches some miles south of Port Neill. The first gale from either north or south will turn either of these bodies right across the entrance of Port Leo pold, and completely seal it up. Finding it impossible to get into Port Leopold with the ship, or even to send in a boat to remove the no tice I had left there before going to Port Bowen ; and, on account of the advanced state of the season, not deeming it prudent to put off any more time, where there was so little prospect of success, I threw over a cask containing a notice (a copy of which I en close) and proceeded to the eastward with the inten tion of landing the provisions at some of the places indicated in my orders. At noon of the 21st, being in lat. 73 56 N., and long. 83 42 W., two brigs were seen to the eastward, which, on closing at about three r.st., were found to be the Lady Franklin and Sophia, in search of Capt. Sir John Franklin. By these vessels I received their Lordships' letter to me, dated April 10, 1850, to gether with a "Return of the Arctic Correspondence." By that letter I was informed of the return of the Enterprise and Investigator, which made the neces sity of the provisions on board being landed more urgent. I therefore determined to do so if possible somewhere near Navy Board Inlet, which seemed to me on the passage up to be the only likely place we saw, and at which, I was informed by Mr. Penny, I should find a safe harbour. Judging from the latter part of their Lordship's letter, where I am ordered to land the provisions at Disco, or the Whale Fish Islands, that they imagined I had not got over to the western side, and consider ing that provisions would be far more available here, as I knew that the whole eight vessels in search of Sir John Franklin were in Lancaster Sound, I there fore told Mr. Penny that I would endeavour to land them as above mentioned, if possible ; and if a safe, har'bour could not be found to land the whole, I would endeavour to land some for his or the other ship's use in the event of shipwreck, and proceed with the re mainder, as ordered, to Disco. By him I received intelligence that the eight ves sels came through Melville Bay in company, and that he, with his consort, the Sophia, parted from them on the 15th of August off Dudley Diggs; that off Cape York they learnt from the natives where we had wintered, and the Felix and Intrepid went in search of us. During the afternoon it continued perfectly calm, which gave the two vessels an opportunity of writing home. At 2 A.M. of the next morning (the 22d) a light breeze sprang up, when we parted company at 5. We observed a schooner under the south land, and soon afterwards Commander Phillips came on board from the Felix. By him I received information that his schooner parted company off Dudley Diggs on the 15th with her Majesty's ships Resolute and Pioneer, also the Prince Albert ; and on the 17th he parted company with her Majesty's ships Assistance and In trepid off Cape Leopold. These vessels were to pro ceed up the northern shore of Lancaster Sound ; he accompanied them into Wolstenholme Sound, opened the beacons we had left, and found we had saled. He also informed us that Captain Austin was going to Pond's Bay, and from thence up the south side of Lancaster Sound, and that letters would be found in a cairn on a low point on the north side of Pond's Bay. On the morning of the 23d, being off Wollaston Islands I dispatched a boat (in charge of Mr. Leask, the ice -master) to look for a harbour. At two P.M. the boat returned, and he then informed me that provisions might be landed in a bay just within the easternmost Wollaston Island; the soundings gradually decreasing. I therefore ran in and moored the ship in four fathoms, about a quarter of a mile from the shore. Everything was then got ready for landing the provisions, which was commenced at four A.M. of the following morning. The beach, which consisted of loose stones, -among which large pieces of ground ice had been thrown up, rendered the landing very difficult ; however, with the assistance of all the spars and planks that we could collect, we managed to get them rolled up. During the time we were landing the provisions the crew worked with great spirit, under the superin tendence of Mr. John Way, the senior second master, who conducted the operation with great energy and ability, and who seemed determined that no obstacle should prevent the fulfilment of the object. He also superintended the sawing out of the canal in Wolsten holme Sound, the landing the notices in the boats at the various places, and every other duty where trust was required, highly to my satisfaction ; and I cannot too strongly recommend him to the favourable consideration of the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty for his promotion, which I consider he so much deserves. I would also further state that, whilst discharging the provisions and other stores, I was highly pleased with the zealous and active part Mr. James J. Rutter, the clerk in charge, took in assisting as far as possible the fulfilment of that important duty, especially consider ing the hurry and bustle which attended the process situated as we were. Not only on this occasion, but during the whole time he has been under my com mand, I have had great reason to be pleased with him, and would strongly recommend him also to the favour , able consideration of their Lordships for his promo tion, which I consider he so well merits. The draw ings taken by him of Wolstenholme Sound, North Star, Bay; &c., are enclosed, with the charts or plans of Wolstenholme Sound, &c., which latter were drawn by Mr. Aylen, master's-assistant, under my imme diate superintendence. By the evening of the 28th of August we had sue ceeded in landing the provisions as per invoices en closed, which was a sufficient supply for lasting 100 men for twelvemonths, in addition to a large quantity of preserved soups, vegetables, pickles, and other com forts, and about 40 tons of coals. I also landed our own housing, to cover the tea and other perishable articles, which might prove very useful in keeping .our men warm, and sheltering them in the event of shipwreck. While employed landing the provisions three very large deer, with immense horns, were seen walking about near them at one time (and I believe there were more seen at other times) ; but we were far too much occupied to think - of looking after them. Everything was now completed except the erecting of a• beacon flag-staff, similar to the one erected on the 26th, on a low point outside, and for which every thing was landed ready, and it was my intention to have sent a party to erect it next morning whilst un mooring the ship ; but during the night the wind shifted to the westward, and blew very hard the fol lowing morning, causing a heavy ground swell. As the gale was increasing, and the, ship being on a dead lee shore, and the holding ground very bad—the bot tom consisting of loose stones—l could not venture to weigh the anchor. I therefore deemed it prudent for the safety of the ship to: slip the cable at the fifth shackle, 'and proceed to sea. Fortunately a stone beacon, or cairn, was erected near the provisions, with a pole in the centre of it, in which was deposited a cylinder containing an invoice of all that had been landed. This beacon is in latitude 73 deg. 41 min. N., and long. 80 deg. 55 min. W. Having only about three months of the North Star'a own provisions remaining on board, and con sidering it would be running far too great a hazard to attempt to leave Navy Board Inlet with so small a quantity, owing to the possibility of being caught in the pack on the way home, and thereby detained another winter in the Arctic regions, I therefore de sired the clerk in charge to retain a sufficient quan tity of those shipped on board for the expedition so as to complete up a twelvemonth's supply. During the time the men were employed in landing provisions, also svhilst sawing and getting the ship out of Wolstonholme Sound, I found it necessary to issue to the people actually employed an extra ration of preserved meat and spirits and half a ration extra of bread, as the untal allowance is not sufficient to enable men to continue for so many hours at such hard work in this cold climate. At noon of the 29th we passed Cape Hay, where I intended to leave a notice of where the provisions had been landed ; but as the beacon erected by ourselves on the outer point of Navy Board Inlet was so plainly seen from it, and there being too much sea on to ad mit of a boat's landing, I did not deem it necessary to wait, and proceeded on to the eastward. Oa the afternoon of the 30th I sent a boat into Possession I3;:y to leave a notice (as enclosed) of where the provisions wore landed and also to get ob servations for longitude. On the boat's return I was informed that the notices left by ourselves on the 10th of August, and those from the Enterprise, were re moved, and the enclosed (which I beg leave to for ward) put in their place. On the morning of the 3d of September we were off the north entrance of Pond's Bay, and the weather being calm, I anchored the ship with a kedge in 45 fathoms, as r found the current was setting out of the inlet, and a number of bergs aground near us. A. boat was then dispatched to examine the north shore of the inlet, in search of the letters that we were informed by Sir John Ross were deposited there; but, after examining its north side for twenty miles, could not find any appearance of a cairn. Two notices similar to that left at Possession Bay were landed about ten miles apart, and placed in the centre of a cairn of stones. At eight P.M. the boat returned, and we weighed the kedge and proceeded to the S.E. I regret not having met with Captain Austin that I might have been able to inform him of where the provisions were landed. However, I have no doubt Mr. Penny will see him, who will give him the necessary information of my intentions, which he promised to do before parting company. At four A.M., of Sunday, the Bth September,being in lat. 71 40 N., long. 71 10 W., the fog which we had had for the last four or five days cleared away, and we observed ourselves close to the pack or middle ice, which being loose, we immediately entered, and got through it by ten A.M. without much interruption, it being small, and all of last winter's formation. Its width I estimate at about twenty-two miles. We then stood to the S.E. with a fine fair wind. On the 9th at noon, when in lat. 70 2 N., and long. 62 20 W., a pack or body of very heavy ice was ob served ahead, and which compelled us to haul to the N.E. for about 20 miles, and we then stood 50 miles true east, when we again shaped our course down the straits, since which time we met with ao pack, but passed a number of bergs. We got to the southward of Cape Farewell on the afternoon of the 14th of September, but the wind hanging to the eastward we did not cross its longitu dinal meridian until the morning of the 18th of Sep tember, being then in lat. 55 30 N. I may here mention, that although the ship was so long beset last year in the ice, and has since passed through so much of it, she has never once received a nip, and is now as strong and tight as when she left England. I regret exceedingly not being able to fulfil my in structions of last year, and can only assure their Lordships that no exertions were wanting on the part Qf myself, the officers, and crew, to do so. Had last season been as favourable as the present for the navi gation of the Arctic seas, I have no doubt I should have found the Investigator or Enterprise before they left their winter quarters. The North Star passed Scilly Light at the midnight of the 26th inst., and arrived at Spithead at eleven A.m., this day. In conclusion, I beg to express to their Lordships my entire satisfaction of the conduct and unwearied exertions (when required) of every officer and man under my command, and more particularly Mr. John Way, sen., second master; Mr. James Rae, assistant surgeon ; and Mr. James J. Rutter, clerk in charge, each of whom I have already spoken of in this dis patch ; they are all of long standing in their present rank ; I therefore earnestly trust their Lordships will grant them the promotion they have so well earned. I have the honour to be, sir, Your most obedient humble servant, J. SAUNDERS, Master and Commander. COPY OF A NOTICE PLACED IN EACH OF THE BEA CONS ERECTED IN THE NORTH STAR BAY, WOL-.
