THE ISABEL-BAFFIN'S_ BAY SEARCH

EXPEDITION.
This vessel, it is well known, was originally destined
for research, under steam-propelling power, in the di.
rection of Behring's Straits. Owing to Captain Beat-
son's failing in getting off at the proper season and
other causes, this well-arranged nice little craft was
thrown upon the responsibility of Lady Franklin; at
least, Lady Franklin, with that ardour and self-devotion
which has characterised this noble-minded woman ever
since particular solicitude has beenentertained

spect to the safety of her, gallant husband, andertook

penditure made therein from being altogether lest.
Lady Franklin's interest in thevessel, thusacquired,
been conveyed to Captain Inglefield, R.N., an enter-
prising, energetic, and gentlemanly officer, who now
sets out under the encouragements of universal good
wishes, and the sanction of the Admiralty, for:the special
and careful search of the sounds at the head and on the
north-western coast of Baffin's Bay, and with the ulti-
mate intention (after probably wintering in the northern
part of the bay) of tracing the western aide of this great
inlet, down through the extent of the little-known coast
of Labrador. This course of investigation vim

Yesterday noon (Monday) the Isabel, which had
dropped down to Greenhithe for being

adjustment of her compasses, was visited by Lad
Franklin, accompanied by her nephew, Mr. W. prank

ladies, who remained on board for a couple
