The HALL-FRANKLIN RESEARCH ENTERPRISE
The following article from the New London
| Comm Chronicle may be of some interest 4
our citizens upon the eve of the departure O
i of al 1laa,. far fhraa lobo
at the North Pole. In speaking of the Hail
Franklin Research Expedition, that pape
says; =, ..i.. e. -, ,
to leave this port for whaling cruise i
| Cumberland Sound on the Goth Of May, wi
take out the nucleus of an important exped
tion of exploration in the regions where 81
John Franklin met his sud fate. Mr. @. !
Hall, of Cincinnati, is the leader and lnastei
spirit of this adventurous enterprise. Thf
gentleman believing it possible that some {
the people of the far North, conceived Ii

of Frobisher's Strait, and there landed wit
his boats, sledges, nautical gear, scientific il
struments and stores Of pemmican and 9TH
provisions. Only a single companion go
out with him from here. He will engage
sufficient number of Esquimaux and boats
transport his mdteriel and push forward Wi

thence northward along the hitherto une
plored eastern coast of that channel, throue
Fury and Hecla Strait TO the Gulf Of Booth

the adventurous traveller high up as to la

Land, Mr.. Hall has strong hopes Of fndii
