Franklin being found alive must be vain.
Ii says:-
"Six or eight vessels have wintered in
some ofethe bays or inlets which empty in.
TO Baam's Bay, beyond the point where The
whale ships ever venture, and il will be well
If other expeditions are not required TO re.
covers some of them. The American ves-
sells. we fear. were not sufficiently we'll ap-
pointed for the undertaking, and we fear
much for the safety of their crews. We
know nothing on earth which we should no,
rather encounter than winner in the ice on
board q small vessel. above latitude 70. Ii
requires a greater amount of courageous ef.
fort than 10 lead squadron on The bloodesl
field Of battle the earth ever saw, for that
trial would be quickly over; and there might
be excitement enough in the contest to carry
one through it learlessly. 1t is probable
that Franklin's vessels, which have now
been absen. more Than six years, succeeded
in the first or second season, in reaching
some point of the Arctic sea. which is sell
dom open. perhaps not oliener than once in
generation, and here frozen in, where they
remained until they all perished by cold O.
starvation. Not unlikely .he vessel and

found recorded in their journals by their side
