wintered at Batty Bay, and in 1852, before return-
ing to England, the organ was lent to the North
Star, at Beechy Island. where it spent two years,
and was always played at church service. In 1854,
after having spent thaee years and a half in the

Franklin naturally prized it more highly, and had
it put to rights at considerable expense, and now
the same royal souvenir is about to bo shipped once
more to the Arctic regions.
