NEW YORK, oct. 1.-The prop. Ira and
the bark Release, which sailed from this port
in June, 1854, in search of Dr.. Kane, return
ed this evening at this port, having on board
DR.. Kane and his party.
The propeller and bark made their way
north in Smiths Sound, up to lat. 79 deg 30
min, when they were stopped by the ice
and worked their way to the shore to find
passage. They discovered an Indian village
where they learned that DR.. Kane and his
party had gone south.
They then returned to Disco's Island, in
Davis's Straits where they found the Kane
expeditionists.
1t appears that Kane had pushed his yes
sci, the Rescue, as far north as 81 deg, when
they were frozen in: they remained by her
all winter, sending to the 1ndian village
above mentioned, for provisions, which
were supplied by the inhabitants.
In the spring they abandoned the ship. and
started south on sledges till they reached the
town Of Upper Nahik, Danish settlement
ON the west coast of Greenland whence they
were conveyed in Danish vessel to the Isl
and of Disco, and We're found there by the
Searching Expedition.
Three of Kanes Expedition died of expo
sure, viz: Christianson Olsen, carpenter;
Pierre Schubert. cook Jefferson Baker sea-
man. The remainder were more Or less frost
bitten.
On the 4th of September the Rescue mar
rOwly escaped shipwreck by coming in con-
tact with an iceberg, which struck her bull
warks and carried away her boats. The two
vessels were caught fast in the ice, and it
was thought they were frozen in for the
winter, but they finally got out.
The winter was unusually severe in the
Arctic regions, and many natives perished
from exposure and starvation, and had to eat
their dogs.
The extreme cold having prevented the usu-
al hunting expeditions, no traces were dis
covered of Sir John Franklin.
