An interesting incident occurred in the progress of
the inquiry before the Arctic committee. Mr. Mackinnon,
the chairman, received a letter from Lady Franklin, claim-
ing for her unfortunate husband the honour of having been
the first to explore a north-west passage, though unknown
to Captain M'Clura, just as the passage discovered by the
latter was subsequently explored by Captain Collusion. That
Franklin did an is proved by the situation in which his re
mains were discovered by the Esquimau:. Captain
M'Clnre, however, was the first to make the passage from
ocean to ocean, and Lady Franklin does justice to his indo-
mitable perseverance. The committee have inserted her
letter in the report of their proceedings, as a mark of their
sympathy and respect, aad call attention, in the concluding
paragraph of their report, to the fact that it may be almost
literally said that Franklia's spirit led the way, and that it
was in the attempt to trace his steps through the icy soli-
tides of the Polar Seal that the north-west passage was
finally diseovered.
