THE ESQUINt tra tallE_FA. RETURN TO

1114 NATIVE LAN!).

Captain Mame, of the whaler Arctic, which has
just returned from the Arctic region, reports the Rafe
arrival of Olnik, the Esnuimanx Chief, at his native
settlement. It will he remembered that at the urgent
regnant of Olnik, Captain Adams brought him to this
country last year. During his three months' stay
here the Greenland chief readily rwrommielated him'
self to his new mode of living, and acquired a
smattering of English. so that ho was able to make
himself myleratisel. lie was privileged to accompany
Captain Adams to London on the occasion of the
meeting if the Geographical Society, at which the
commanders of the Artie Expedition were present, and
daring that visit to the metropolis he luul the honour
to be intrislucel to His Royal Hig'merle the Prince of
Wales. Throughout the whole of his way here °lntl{
hail no lack of sightseeing, and the numerous friends
he made in this country will be glad to learn of his safe
arrival at his native settlement. !hiring the winter
spent in this country he enjoyed very go. il health, and
throughout the voyage he was fortunate in keeping his
health, with the exception of a short time at St. John's
where his inno seemed to be somewhat affected. On
the passage to Davis Straits, however, he ~.,on
recovered, and remained in perfect health during the
remainer of the voyage. At Pond's Bay Olnik met
one nf his sisters, who iv married and reside., in that
part of the country, and Olnik got the charge of one of
her children to take south to his own settlement at
Cape Eglington, where the boys lint-mita intended to
lease the winter after the eemon's fishing bad finished
at Pond's Bay. Oink seemed very proud of the
honour of having visited this country, anil he interned
no lees pleased with the suit of go-ashore,, presented to
him by Captain Adams. He arqiiireil very cleanly
habit's on board ship, and whenever the vessel
approached any of the settlements he immediately
dressed himself out, and with evident .self-gratification
presented himself to his fellow-countrytnen li. his Eng-
lish attire. The Arctic lid not reach rape Eglinton till
the 21th August It wart :diced midnight before she got to
her anchorage, alstot a quarter of is mile from land, but
Olnik was so ,ver juyed at the sight of his native quarter
that he could mit be pNittyletl to remain on lonwil till
next day, and getting into his kavak he paddled
aslywc. 'rho settlement over which Olnik presides as
oiler consists of eight tents, containing from sixteen
to twenty families, nnd the scene it presented on the
' day after Olnik'e arrival was a very lively one.
Almost the whole of the native, visited the ship, and
a considerable number of the crew of the Arctic
returned the compliment by going ashore to the settle-
ment. The natives seemed to be overjoyed at the
eturn of their chief in cool health. A general con-
clave took place in the evening at which all the
inhabitants were present, when Olnik narrated his
alventurem, and gave an account id the many wonder-
ful things he had seeii in this country, his ambenee
expressing their natonishment by eigna and cjainla•
theta. The Arctic lay if Cape Eg,linton till the 211,1
September, and almost every day the natives crime on
laywil. Olmik lied been a great favourite with the
seamen during the whole of the voyage, and he
seemed greatly affected when he took farewell of
Captain Adams and the crew before the Arctic bore
up for home. One of Onlik's wives died during the
, absence of her husband in this country, and her grave
was seen beside the settlement. In Greenland the
grave-ix not dug in the earth, the body being merely
laid on the ground and covered with a calm of atones'
Olnik'm two other wives were in good health. It was
reported that Olnik had agreed to introduce an innov-
ation among his countrymen by having only one wife,
but we understand that the chief has not become a
convert to monnirmy. Indeed, it is said that two wives
are inilitipenßable to a Greenlander—one to take care
of the household, and the other to carry the provisions
and othar article+, while accompanying her lord on his
hunting expeditions. One of Olnik's daughters was
married lama year, =don his return to the settlement the
chief found that he hail become a grandfather. A
man named Paulo, a cousin to Olnik, who lives at the
Cape Eglinton settlement, is reported to speak
English remarkably well, and, in the opinion of the
Arctic's crew, he is a man of superior intelligence to
Olnik.
