LONDON; VA-PU'.tI3AY EVE AUGUST 242 Idlo,

own father if he had frathers on. We are very com-
fortable herr. Ido not find my berth so irksome as I
naturally exvicted it to bo ; on the contrary. Wc arrived
here oa a Sa urday ; on Sunrh:y Captain Austin timed
on board the Assistance; also Lieutenant Power, of the
transport. Captain Au.tin seemed much pleased with
the Assistance's internal appearance. Wo were all
surprised to find the Assistance the best sailer, except
before the wind, when the Resolute has the advantage.
Our mess is very comfortable, and the combination'
answers remarkably well. The tenders have suffered
much coming across; I fear they are too unhandy for an
iey sea, besides now being so deep as to be unsafe in a
less exposed one. Ido not think they will be let out of
leading-strings at all.
" Tr. e Assistance hopes to have the Wellington
Chancel search, whilst the commodore intends to push
on to Melville Island, and as they say at Lievely that
this is a very favourable season, with scarcely any ice, I
since, ely hope we shall succeed in exploring much of
regions where Franklin is supposed to be
dtheetauinnekdn.own

" Penny left a letter at Lievely for Lieutenant Os-
borne, stating his arrival here on the second May, and
departure on the 4th, so that he had a marvellously quick
passage out. The lurking desire to compete successfully
with all other searching expeditions has caught fire and
broken out, so there is but hale fear of losing time
henceforth. We are working day and night to complete
coaling the tenders, and shall then start-, probably some
time to-night. I!. has always been my aim to urge the
necessity of pressing forward—of gaining upon Penny,
lest we should find ourselves picking up his notices on
the headlands in Barrow's Straits. I think it probable
he will soon find Jones's Sound improPticable. and
try for Wellington Channel or Melville Island,
that at least he may gain to himself the merit
of cutting us our. All the influence I have
(and I have a little) is devoted to pressing forward
and perfecting the arrangements for travelling
parties. Captain Austin has had written to him a long
service letter, suggesting a certain mode of (quipping
the travelling parties, the chief peculiarity of which is
the taking out of delots in the autumn for the spring
journeys,
of . rne3standgiving the men pemmican and tea, in.
stead preserved neat and chocolate. They can carry
forty days' provisions, and manage twenty days more
by means of depote, so that it is calculated each party
should travel eight hundred miles. This is the substance
of the letter, which Captain Austin has acknowledged in
a handsome manner. We have devotions every morning
and evening, and have never missed Church service
since we sailsd. Our mon are full of spirit, and ready
to do auything. We have had no reports nor punish.
ment since leaving England. As to amusements, we
have already a newspaper, and have in reserve our thea-
tricals, organ, foot-ball, cricket, and quoits, so shall
get on well enough. The greater mrtion of the ale has
burst, I am sorry to say. I send this through C—, as I
hope you will be aboard a good steam-frigate by the time
it arrives. Nine P.M.—Have just returned from the main
hold of the transport, where we have had a committee
to estimate the amount of coal remaining, and think
we can get it all out by four o'clock to-morrow morn-
ing, and then for sea. Each tender will have 300 tons
of coal on board. There is a noble spirit in our crew,
and we have some fine fellows. I would rather serve
here on no pay at all, than be a commander idling about
on shore, and I look forward with extreme pleasure to
carrying out all the plans for travelling which have been
matured with the greatest care, nor will I feel satisfied
unless I have sev:nty days' travelling next spring. It
will be strange if we find no trace of Franklin. I sup-
pose their Lordships will not think of us until we
return, nor do I ever give promotion a thought, having
plenty to do and to think about to brood over their
Lordship's indifference about us and our claims.
" P.S. This day two years we arrived here."

~ May 20, 1850.

" My dear --, —According to promise I am going
to commence a short yarn for your perusal. Of course
you know all our proceedings to the time of the steamers
leaving us; I shall therefore say nothing about cur-
selves up to that period. They left us on the evening of
the 15th, about twenty miles to the westward. Having
weighed, we then made sail, and had contrary winds
until the 16th, when it came from the north-east, and
has continued so ever since ; we are just one hundred
and forty miles farther advanced than you were on this
day on your passage out in '4B; the breez3 appears
likely to stand; the tenders are obliged to steam to keep
up with us, although our utmost speed as yet has not
exceeded six knots. We are very comfortable and happy
on board, and if offered, I would not change captain or a
single mem:late, and the ship's company are (with the
exception of two) fine well-behaved steady fellows. We
beat the in sailing, indeed I think this the much
superior ship of the two, both for stowage and sailing.
Our steward is a splendid fellow, and we live like fight-
ing cocks. We are just establishing a monthly paper,
which I think will be very amusing.
"I shall not of course close this until our arrival at the
Whale-fish Islands, but will just keep it up as a sort cf
journal until the opportunity offers for sending it. I am
happy to tell you that the seven-betters' are fast recover-
ing themselves, and I really think that a few weeks will
set them all right. We made Cape Farewell, bearing
north true 64 miles, and in the first watch passed
through a good deal of stream and sailing ice. To-day
we have a regular barrier of ice, extending from east to
west; it is only heavy streams, and we are standing to
north-west to find a passage. At twu P.M., our trans-
part hove in sight to leeward. Our latitude at noon,
59 14 N., long. 47 W.; the weather most beautiful. Ther.
in shade 32; sun 60. _ _ _

"June 18.— We arrived here on the 15th, and sail
again on Saturday 22d. All are well.
"June 21—We sail to-morrow evening if possible."
