THE DISCOVERY SHIP REsoLUTE

The American ship George Henry Captain
Buddingten, arrived at New London, Connscti.
cut, On the 10th ultimo, and was followed by
the British exploring ship Resolute. which had
been abandoned in the Arctic regions by Sir
Edward Becher and Captain Kellett, a couple
OF years ago. 1t appears that she was. when
abandoned, fast locked in the ice for a distance
around her, and could not have been less than
one hundred and fifty miles from the nearest
open water. He thinks it was a natural i'm
possibility for them to extricate themselves for
at least twelvemonth and even doubtful that
they could have done it at all before their pro
VISIONS should fail them; for though, when
the Americans took possession of her. about
eighteen months afterwards, she was we'll sup
phed, she had by no means enough on board
10 last crew consisting of seventy-fve souls
that length of time. Her water tanks had burst
by the intense frost, and the water was up to
the lower deck. The whole crew were engaged
fourteen hours day, for three DAYS, in getting
her clear, when the immense masses of ice on
one side gave her a list a-port, which they were
a long time IN relieving, so as to bring her to
an even keel. All these difficulties were at
length surmounted, the officers and men of the
George Henry were divided, and both vessels
commenced the task of working into open
water.
The Resolute is decided as one of the stanch.
est ships ever built, as nearly ice-proof as any
vessel ever fitted for the perilous navigation of
the Polar seas, and all her preparations for en-
countering the incidents of the rugged region
to which she was sent are represented to be as
perfect as skill and experience and a liberal
Government could make them. A large arma-
ment OF brass cannon and MIME rifles, in per-
feet order, sufficient for any emergency, was
found on board, as well as an immense amount
OF clothing, and everything else that could con.
duce to the comfort of the crew, or contribute
to the objects OF the expedition. There was
also valuable and extensive library of well.
selected books; but we are sorry to learn that
they suffered from the vicissitudes of the sea.
and that boat loads had to be thrown overheard
as useless.
