TEN MEN STARVED To DEATH IN The ARC

rived at Peterhead from Cumberland
Straits. where she was frozen in the whole
of last winter, the crew having suffered
great privations, and one half Of them
died from cold and scurvy. The Alert
left Peterhead last summer, not intending
to winter at the North but after several
unsuccessful attempts to get out of the
Gulf, was obliged to put back and bear
up for Kitterton Island Here the suffer
ings Of the crew during long Arctic win
ter were such as cannot be described I'm
expectcdly detained in that dark and des-
olate region, and unprovided with the COM
forts necessary for subsistence in the in
tense frost which prevailed, one after anoth-
er of the crew succumbed to the combined
effects of cold and scurvy, until the crew
(ten) were dead, leaving only the other
ten, much enfeebled by disease. The hor-
rors of such winter may be conceived, as
we'll as the emotions with which the sur
vivors would hail the appearance of this

vessel home themselves, the captains Of
the Alibi and Arctic, of Aberdeen, gener-
ously sent two boats crews on board the
Alert to assist the remainder of her crew,
and she arrived as we have stated Dun.
