"THIRD AMERICAN ARCTIC EXPEDITION.

"Of the third American Arctic Expedition, having in
view, not the discovery of Sir J. Franklin, but of Dr.
Kane's party, and of its successful search, the following
is the succinct account. Brief as has been its absenle, it
has been further north in the Arctic Sea than any of its
predecessors —the Kane party alone excepted :
" ' The United Stases' Arctio Expedition, composed
of the bark Release and steam brig Arctic, H. J.
Hartstein, Lieutenant-Commanding Expedition, left
New York May 30, 1855, arrived in Lievely, Isle of
Disko, Greenland, July 5; coasted along the shores of
Greenland from Holstenburg to lat. 78 38 N., touching
at Lievely, Hare Island, Upernavik, Haklayt Island,
Cape Hadherton, and other places on the coast ; were
28 days boring through the pack in Melville-bay, thence
crossed Davis's Straits, went up Lancaster Sound as far
as A,lnairalty Inlet-, where they were opposed by a solid
pack, which entirely stopped their progress.
" • Hence they proceeded down the western coast,
examining Possession and Pond's Bay ; were fast in the
great middle pack for several days (to all appearance for
the winter). In lat. 69 39 N., long. 63 30 \V., spoke
English whaleship Eclipse, of Peterhead, bound for
Cuwberland Inlet ; had taken three fish ; all well, and
arrived at Lievely on their return from having entirely
circumnavigated the north waters as far as the ice would
permit. September 13—they there found Dr. Kane and
his associates (having abandoned his vessel in the ice),
excepting three who had died from exposure— viz.,
Christian °nisei), Carpenter P. Schubert, and Jefferson
Baker. Found at Lievely the Danish brig Marianna,
Captain Ammondson, loading for Copenhagen. Sailed
from Lievely September 18.
" On the 19th boarded Danish brig Balder, 37 days
from Copenhagen, bound to Lievely ; on the 27th spoke
English schooner Stella, from Sandwich Bay, bound to
Plymouth. No traces whatever have been discovered
of Sir John Franklin's party. The last winter in the
Arctic has been unusually severe, many of the natives
having perished from exposure and starvation, and others
compelled to eat their dogs, the extreme cold having
prevented the usual hunting expeditions.
" "Ile vessels are in a teleraby good condition.
They have been in collision" with icebergs and severely
nipped in the packs.

lease :—H. J. Hartstein, Lieutenant-Commanding the
Expedition ; Wm. S. Lovell, Acting Master ; John K.
