WINTER QUARTERS IN IaLoo,

Friday, Dec 10, l864-I will give you
briefly what the people of England and
America will be most interested to learn.
When | come down, | shall bring my de-
spatches and journals up to The time of wri-
ting TO you. These will be committed TO
your care for transmitting to the States.
The most important matter that l have ac-
quired, relates to the fact that there may
yet be three survivors of Sir John Frank
Inns expeditions ID one Of these, OGozier,
the one who succet ed Sir John Franklin
on his death. The tails are deeply inter
esting-but this NJ st suffice till | come
down: Crozier and three men with him
were found by cousin Of Or-e-la Albert),
Shoo-she ark-nui (John). and Aar-too
Frank while moving on the ice from one
igloo to another, This cousin having with
him his family, and being engaged in seal
ing. This occurred near Netchille (Bootha
Felix Peninsula) Cro2er was nothing but
''skin and bone" was nearly starved to
death, while The three men with him were
fat The cousin soon learned that the three
men had been living on human fiesh-on the
flesh Of their companions who all deserted
the two ships hat were fast in the noun
tains of ice, while Crozier was the only man
who would not eat any human flesh, and for
that reason, he was almost dead with starv-
alton. This cousin, (who has two names,
but | cannot stop to give them new), took
Crozier and the three men in charge. He
soon caught a seal an. ave Crosier a l:iile
"a very little piece, which was nearly raw
only one mouthful the first day. The
cousin did not give the three fat men any
thing. for they could well get along till
Crozier was safe. The next day the cousin
gave Crozier q little larger piece OF the
same seal. BY the judicious care ef this
cousin for Crozier, his life was saved. In
deed, Crosier's own Judgment stuck to him
in iris terrific situation, for he agreed with
the cousin chat he should only have little
piece the first day. When the cousin first
saw Crozier's face, it looked so bad--his
| eyes all sunk in, his face 80 skeleton-lik
and haggard, that he did not dare to look
on Cro2ier's face for several days afterward,
it made him (the cousinl feel 80 bad. This
noble cousin, whom the civilized world win
ever remember for his humanity, took care
of Croizer and his three men, save one, who
died during the wiater. One man, hswever
died a short time after the cousin found them
not because he starved, but because he was
sick, In the spring Crozier and the remain
| ing two men accompanied this cousin on the
Boothia Felix peninsula to Neitchille, where
there were many Innuits. Crozier and each
of his men had guns and plenty of ammuni-
1 lion, and many pretty things They killed q
| great many ducks, nowyers, &C., with their
guns. Here they lived with the Innuits at
Neitchille, and Crozier became fat and of
| good health Crozier told this cousin that
he was once at Inneil-le (Repulse Bay at
| Winter Island and Igloolik many years..he-
fore, and that at the two last named places
he saw many Innuits, and got acquainted
/ with them. This cousin had heard of Pray,
! Lyon and Crozier of his Innuit friends at
Repulse Bay, some years previous and there
fore when Crozier gave him his name he re-
collected it. The cousin saw Crozier one
/ year before he found him and the three men,
where the two ships were in the ice. Il was
there that the cousin found out that Crozier
had been to Igloolk.
| Crozer and the two men lived with the
| Neitchile Innuits some time The Innuits
liked him (Crozier) very much and treated
him very kindly. At length Crozier, with
! his Two men and Innuit, who took along a
| ki-all (?) Tan India rubber boat, as E-bier-
bling thinks it was, for all along the ribs
there was something that could be filed with
air. left Neitchille to try to go to the Kob-
i lu- las country, taking south course
When Ou-e-la ALBERT and his trothers,
in 1884, saw his cousin that had been so good
to Crozier and his men at Pelly Bay, (Which
| is not for from Neitohille,) the cousin had
not heard whether Crozier, the two men and
Neiichile Innuit had ever come back or not
/ The Innuits never think they are dead-do
not believe they are. Crozier offered to give
his gun to the cousin for saving his life, but
his cousin would not accept, for he was
afraid it would kill him 0he cousin, it made
such great noise, and killed everything
with nothing Then Crozer gave him Che
