Hall's Arctic Expedition.

SEARCH FOR THE REMAINING CREW OF SIR JOHN
FRANKLIN.--Mr. Chaffee, an officer on board the Black
Eagle, which vessel brought despatches from Captain
Hall's Arctic Expedition, furnishes the !New Bedford
Standard with the following particulars of the undertaking
as it relates to the discovery of that portion •of Sir John
Franklin's crew supposed to be yet alive in the Arctic
regions :

"No further news will be received from Captain Hall
until his return from Repulse Bay, in 1867, from an expe-
dition to Boothia Felix Peninsula and Sing William's
Land, upon which he was to start after the first great
snow storm, about the middle of September. Captain
Hall appeared to be satisfied, from information deemed
reliable, that Captain Crozier, the second in command of
Franklin's expedition, is still living with a lodge of In-
nuits, directly on the proposed route of travel, and that

ain Hall, different from all other Arctic explorers, selects
the winter months for his labors, which can only be suc-
cessfully accomplished when everything is thoroughly
frozen up. In the summer the lakes and streams are open,
thus preventing the sledges from crossing, but the warm
weather is made available in forwarding supplies along
the proposed route of travel. The distance to be accom-
plished in•the proposed journey is from 600 to 800 miles,
and the captain expected to make very slow progress,
owing to the weather and nature of the country. At each
halt snow houses must be built for protection during the
night. He would probably reach Boothia Felix Peninsula,
about 100 miles, early in the spring, after which the whale-
boats would be available."
