Thrilling Adventure.

Some of the episodes encountered during
the search DIR. Kane have wild interest. At
one time it became necessary to send fatigue
party, with provisions, to assist the main party
under DIR. Kane, in an attempted passage across
Smiths Sound. This party was under COM
mand of Mr.. Brooks, first officer of the cxpcdi.
ton. lie was accompanied by Mr.. Wilson and
other volunteers. During their travel they
found the ice completely impenetrablc and a
snow DRIFT at last swept wildly over the noes,
and in the midst of heavy gale from the north
the thermometer, TO their dismay, sunk to fifty
seven degrees below zero.
Human nature could not support the terrible
cold. Four Of the party, including Mr.. Brooks
and Mr.. Wilson, were prostrated with frozen
feet, and with difficulty three or four of their
companians, after encOunlering great suffering,
reached the ship, and announced the condition
of their comrades. Their chances OF being
rescued at this time seemed exceedingly small
They were in the midst OF Il wilderness of
snow, incapable of motion, protected only by
canvas tent, and with no landmarks by which
their position could be known. Even to drag
these manned men would have been, under or
dnary circumstances, work of difficulty but
to the slender party left it at the ship it seemed
impossible Dr. Kane, with the bOdncss and
courage which justified the warm attach
ment felt towards him by all under his com.
mand, in less than one hour organized recruit
ing party, leaving on board only those who
were necessary to relieve the sick, and started
off in the teeth of terrible gale, and steering
only by compass, to rescue the sufferers.
After nineteen hours constant travel, during
which two of the party tainted, and others re-
quired to be kept from sleep by force, they
struck the trail of the lost party and, |
finally, staggering under their burdens, one
by one reached the tent, which was almost hid |
den by the sHow.
The scene, rs DIR. Kane entered the tent, was
affecting beyond description The party burst
into tears. A bluhber fire was Immediately
built, pemmican cooked, and the party ate for
the first time after leaving the vessel. Ice was
also melted, they having been to this time with
out drink. Worn out as they were, but four
hours were allowed for the halt The manned
