ADY FRANKLIN'S' FINAL SEARCH

The Government having come to the conclusion that the fate of
the crews of her Majesty's ships E:ebus and Terror requires no
further investigation on their part, Lady Franklin, in accordance
with her sense of what ii due to the lost naVi,gstors, is now fitting out
an expedition at her own cost. •
.As a pr. liminary measure, she sought assistance from the Admi-
ralty, by asking for the loan of the Arctic ship Resolute, which has
been restored in perfect order to our Queen by the American nation,
and also for the gift (as granted in her former private expeditions), of
suelLstores from her Majesty's dockyards as are available for this
special ser.ice only. •
Compliance with these requests having been declined, Lady
Franklin is now devoting Tier whole fortune to this final search, and
a large screw yacht, the Fox, lyinrcat A,ierdeen, has bean purchased,
whicn the distinguished Arctic officer who has accepted the command
of her, Captain M`Clintocke R.N., has pronounced to be perfectly
adapts to this employment.
Not repeating the arguments we formerly made use of to induce
the Government to undertake a final and exhaustive search, we hold
to the opinion that it is the duty of Englishmen to examine that
limited area whence the traces of' our missing countrymen were •
derived. which, though it lies•to the south of well-searced tracks, and
has been approached by vessels that have returned without loss, has
never yet been exp:ored.
Supported by• the advice of those experienced Arctic seamen in
whom she has every reason to confide, Lady Franklin makes this last-
effort to clear away the mystery that shrouds the fate of her husband
and his crews, and possibly to rescue from their insulated. icy abode
among the Esquimaux some of his younger companions who may still
be prolonging a dreary existenct.
On such an occasion we, whose names are hereunto subscribed
feel confident that this our appeal will not remain unanswered by the
British people, who will, we doubt nor,. tender to the widow of the
illustrious navigator that sympathy Which his fame and her devotion
must call forth, and will aid her in carrying out an enterprise involv-
ing, as we believe, the honour of the nation.
We earnestly, therefore, entreat our countrymen to unite with us
in contributing to this noble object.
