pEATH oF MR. soNNTAa.

Ny anxiety was fully shared BY Mr.. Sonn-
tag, the astronomer to the expedition, and
nv able second in command. he early vol
unteered TO 20 South, TO endeavor to open
communication with the EsquimauX of Nor
cumberland Island, with the hope Of obtain
ing dogs. His former experience, when with
Dr.. Kane, had familiarized him with all the
phases of Arctic travel, and no one could
have been better fitted for the task.
Besides the usefulness of the proposed
Journey, it was peculiarly in harmony with
his active and enterprising spirit. His offer
was accepted, and he left the vessel on the
22d of December, with sledge and nine
dogs, accompanied by the Esquimaux Hans;
intending t0 make the journey and return
during the moonlight period then setting in.
1t is my sad duty to inform you that be
died while absent.
It appears that from Hans report that the
immediate cause of Mr.. Sonntag's death was
cold. Hans upon his return stated that they
had travelled the first day to Sutherland
Island, where they camped in snow hut,
and were there detained two days, Their next
camp was at SUrfolik, deserted BsquimauX
station on the coast, fifteen miles below Cape
Alexander, where they built another snow
hut They set off next day directly for Nor
thumberland Island.
The ice, although covered with light snow,
appear ID to be sufficiently stroTg Mr. SOM
tag walked in advance of the sledge, and
when about Eve miles from the land he came
upon thin ice and broke through. Hans as
sisted him out of the water, and they imme-
diately put back for Sortolik. Be ore that
place was reached, Mr. SOnntag wss inseasible,
and he, died soon aiterwsrd. HIS remains
were subsequently brought to the vessel, and
were inferred near the observatory.

Garrard's regiment-only about zoo efici-

When we reached the camp firing was
heard, and we hurried to the scene Of action.
We found the Indiana boys doing terrible ex-
ecution. In q short time ths heavy guns
were wheeled to the front, sn6 spoke louder
thau all Others. Soon the firing ceased, and
the wounded began to arrive at tbs hospital,
where, onder the care of DR.. W. O. Daniels,
DR.. Sloat DR.. Sehench and others, their
wounds were dressed. atesl.
While engaged IL, aiding the surgeons, we

the ice, and accordingly we vent into winter
quarters on the eth, in blight, at the head
OF Hartstein bay. The schooners were
uioored by four hawsers, forty yards from
shore, in seven fathoms of water. The sails
were unbent aud the topmasts housed; and
after giving the crew holiday, our winter
preparations were commenced. The stores
we're deposited in a house built for the pur-
pose on shore. The hold was converted into
a comfortable room for the men, and the up
per deck was housed over with boards. OW-
ing 70 bad weather, three weeks elapsed be-
fore these arrangements we're completed.

HOW THEY PASSED TIE WINTER.

The winter was passed in health and COM
fort. We were fortunate in capturing up
ward Of two hundred reindeer, which kept
both ourselves and the dogs constantly sup
Piled with fresh food.
The winter, however, brought some seri-
Gus misfortunes A disease, which had been
prevailing in North Greenland during the
last few years, broke out among the dogs,
and of the fine pack which had taken from
the Danish settlements only eleven animals
remained alive on the goth Of Decembsr.-
You are we'll aware that my plan Of e1plor-
atious was wholly based upon dogs as
means of transport across the ice, and situa-
ted as was-on the east side Of the Strait
and 80 miles further south than l had anti
cipated, became seriously apprehensive for
the success of the approaching effort.
