"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 absence, it
has been further north in the Arctic Sea than any of its
predecessors--the Kane party alone excepted :
" The United States' Arctic 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, Haklityt 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 Admiralty 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 W., spoke
English whaleship Eclipse, of Peterhead, bound far
Cumberland 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 Oiilsen, 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 Baldar, 37 days
from Copenhagen, bound to Lievely ; or 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.
" 'The vessels are in a tolerably good condition.
They have been in collision with icebergs and severely
nipped in the packs.
" The following is the list of officers of the bark Re-
lease :—H. J. Hartstein, Lieutenant-Commanding the
Expedition ; Wm. S. Lovell, Acting Master ; John K.
Kane, Assistant-Surgeon ; Joseph P. Fyffe Passed
Midshipman : Charles Sever and V. R. Hall, Boats-

" 6 ACCOUNT OP THE HARTSTEIN (THIRD ARCTIC)
EXPEDITION.
- - -

" The expedition in search of Dr. Kane was fitted
out by order of Congress, which appropriated $150,000
for that purpose. It was composed of two vessels—the
propeller Arctic, and the clipper bark Release. The pro.
peller was built at Philadelphia expressly for the voyage
which she has made. Her consort, previously called
the Eringo, was purchased on account of her build,
which was admirably adapted for the purpose for which
she was intended. Both vessels were taken to the
Brooklin Navy-yard, and there fitted up with everything
invention suggested or experience dictated for the safety
of the vessels and the comfort of those who had volun-
teered for the perilous, though noble, expedition on
which they were bound. Provisions for a three years'
cruise were made.
" The officers, and, in fact, all attached to the ex-
pedition, formed a complement of very superior men.
The Commander, Lieutenant H. J. Hartstein, had been
captain of the steamship Illinois, of the Ocean Mail
Steam Company's line. Lieutenant William S. Lovell
had been to the Arctic Ocean once, having been a fellow
officer with Dr. Kane in the Advance of the expedition
under command of Lieutenant De Haven, Lieutenant
C. C. Simms, the commander of the Arctic, and all the
other officers were men admirahly adapted to the ser-
vice in which they were engaged ' • and some of the crew
had been previously to the PolarSeas.' "
