and he has heen the recipient of q large

persecution Of this arduous undertaking.
Mr. Richard E. Chapel, Of New London,

guides free passage in his vessel, the bark

for him his bout and stores, beside doing
much more for him than his 1uodesty will

that Capt. Hall goes up to the Artlc regions
with no one to care tor but himself. The
Esquimaux ore at home, and can always take
care Of themselves. Therefore, when emid
all the priyations incident to Arctic life, he
will not be burdened with the cares and Ills
Of crew OF poor, sick sailors. He will
not be obliged to hear the complaints aad
murmurs Of. q dfsheartcned crew. He Will
have enough to do to take care Of himself

the dark winters night he Will find employ

Captain Hall takes out with him the good
wishes Of q host Of warm personal friends,
who will anxiously await his return, feeling
that he will bring tidings OF Talue. In all
dealings with every one since his return, he
has preserved u manly, open and frank bear
ing, modest and retiring: Yet, when narra-
ting his past experience, Re would at times
give vent to his feelings with warmth and
eloquence seldom met with. He is full Of
hope, never despondipg; has q firm trust In
"Hlm who doeth all things WE'LL" and is
marked for bis perseverance, and integrity,
prompt, truthful aud Of undoubted rellablfi-
ty. He readily makes friends by his whole
sou1edness, md those who meet him once
are only too happy to renew the ncquaint-
ance. His past history furnishes us with the
best assurances Of his future success. He
expects to be absent about three years; but
Il be accomplishea the object Of bis mission,
nc may expect to see him in 1866.
