ADY FRANKLIN'S FINAL SEARCH

The Government having come to the conclusion that the fate of
the crews of her Majesty's ships Erebus and Terror requires no
farther Investigation on their part, Lady Franklin, in accordance
with her sense of what is due to the lost navigators, is now fitting out
an expedition at her own cost.

. -
As a preliminary 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
such stores from her Majesty's dockyards as are available for this
special service only.
Compliance w,th these requests having been declined, Lady
Franklin is now devoting her whole fortune to this final search, and
a large screw yacht, the Fox, lying at Aoerdeen, hai been purchased,
which the distinguished Arctic officer who has accepted the command
of her, uaPtaiktid`Clintock, R.N., has pronounced to be perfectly
adapted 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-searc led tracks, and
has been approached b
never yet been explored.
yFessels that have r ettirne d without loss, has
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 Escieimatix some of his younger cumpaitions who may still
be prolonging a dreary existerie-.
On such an .occasion we, whode names are hereunto subscribed-
feel confident that this our appeal will not remain unanswered by the
British people, who will, we doubt not, 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 olject.
