At Point William, en- the northwcs coast Of
King Williams Island, record was found dated
April 25th, 1873, signed BY Captains Crosier
and Fitz james. TIE record says the Erubus

vionsly in the ice, FIVE Leagues to the North st.
and that the survivors, iii ali amounting to los.
were proceeding to Great Fish river. Sir John
franklin had died June 18th, lS47. The total
deaths to date had been nine officers and fif.
teen men. Many interesting relics Of the ex-
pediton on the western shore OF King Williams
Island and others, we're obtained from the Ex-
quimaux, who stated that after their abandon
ment, one ship was crushed in the ice and the
other forced on shore where she remained
The Fox was unable to penetrate beyond Bel

and interesting details Of the expedition are

The American occupation Of tha Island OF
San Juan attracts considerable attention in the
journals. 55 Ea
The Times editorially states the facts in the
case, and says fortunately the affair is in good
hands, and we trust there can be no reason 10
doubt that the governments of the two coun-
tries will proceed to a decision BY which their
views Of the question have hitherto been char
acterized.e 49, ta 5s5stt lt Fl
The article concludes as follow s. II is not
question Of convenience but of Justice. The
decision should depend on the terms of the tire a.

doubted by either Government short time ago,
that this Interpretation could be discovered. II
however, It should prove that the existing con.
vention cannot be SO applied as to satisfy the
contracting parties, there can surely be no rea-
son why two States which have adjusted their
respective limits across an entire Continent from
the Atlantic to the Pacific, should not complete
the work in the narrow waters Of Vancouver's 8
Island. The Americans may assure themselves
tha, in such negotiation they will meet with no
feelings but those Of fairness and amity, on the
part Of this country. It would be hard, indeed,
if children Of the same stock, who can feel the
ssmpathies Of blood and lineage, as they we're
felt and expressed on the waters Of the Pecho,
should find mich difficulty in adjusting . petty
boundary question on the coast of the Pacific
The London Post also again refers to the
subject, and says il the importance Of San Juan

be no doubt that its possession may be said to
be absolutely necessary to the security of Brit

Washington can have nothing to gain by the
adoption Of the violent unjustifable proceed.
