dition; D
New LONDON, Nov. 16, 1896.
To Henry Grinnsll, Esq, Neo York.
DEAR SIR-The steam whaling bark Pio-
neer, Captain Ebeneezer Morgan, from the
Northern seas, arrived at this port yester-
day. 6 AS the vessel fell in with Mr.. G. +.
Hall, the Arctic explorer. and yet brought
10 letters from him to his friends in the
United States, forward you Captain Nor
gan's statement of his interview and sue
cess with Mr.. Hall in his researchessamOng
the natives of the Northwest coast of Hud-
sons Bay. The Pioneer reached the head
of Repulse, Bay, north of the river We'll
come, on the 26Lh,of July last. Here they
met Mr., Hall and his party of Esquimaux,
all in good health, at that time engaged in
fishing with his faithful adherents, Joe and
Hannah, tEsquimaux who are we'll known
to you, with some other natives from his
| family or troupe. r.. .-..t..e ="
He had at that time no white man in his
| company. Mr.. Hall was much affected
again to meet familiar faces and hear news
from home, He has passed the winter very
4
the Esqulmaux mode of life, and having,
/ with his resources, secured ample supplies
| of food at the station. He had killed one
whale last fall and another this summer,
while deer were found In the greatest
abundance & y
He had established a great many. depots
| of provisions, extending far into the in
| terror, to be used in case of necessity.
Last spring Mr.. Hall made a Journey
northwest, toward Committee Bay, and
King Williams Land, but found the natives
of that region so treacherous aud jealous
that he was forced to return when within
one hundred miles of his destinations
This animosity and feud is between the
different families and tribes of the Esqui-
maux, who all carry weapons secretly, and
| do not hesitate to kill each other for any
real or supposed injury. Some of them
threatened the life of Mr.. Hall and his party,
and they were obliged to turn back. Mr.
| Hall has secured great many relics of the
Franklin exploring expedition, together
with some important documents which he
believes to have been penned by Captain
Crozer, and has information of the location
OF others, which he is determined to obtain,
believing them to be of much value toward
clearing up the mystery of the fate OF the
unfortunate survivors of the Erebus anC
Terror ...ysrrr,g ~ -
Mr.. Hall is continually adding to his
! stock of information of the object of his
search. Being further known among the
natives, he lis constantly gathering fresh
traces and new proofs to establish previ.
Ously known facts. Among other Things
he has heard of the location of boat
turned bottom up, under which are the
dead bodies of seventeen to twenty-five
4 white men, with their hands and feet al
cut off, n
The natives claim that the mutilatior
was not done by them, but by some of the
white men who were wrecked.
The tradition of the Esquimaux is that
rebellion broke out among the survivors
who were endeaVoring to reach Hudsop'S
Bay at that time, and all but three wert
murdered; that these then remained
among the natives, working their way to
ward the white settlements, but that they
finally died before reaching them.
/ Captain Morgan furnished Mr. Hall sucl
| things as he needed, from his ship, anC
states that two or three American whalin!
4 vessels will winter at Repulse Bay thi
| season. Mr.. Hall expressed his great graf
itude and regard for those who have aide
himat home to undertake his plans Of dis
covery, and said that he was determined t.
carry Cout his plans, if it could be dOn
without too much expense, and conclud
his explorations in that quarter the ensu
ing year, re .. .... .#. eq srE
He wished very much to organize
small party Of six or eight white men, full
| ly armed, to accompany him. He coult
then travel with impunity, and reach tn
utmost limit of his desires. 1t is not m
probable that such a party can be made VI

The ship moved some fifty miles for {
T better whaling ground, fully intending tt
return. to Repulse Bay, bat owing to the
ice was unable to do so. This will accOun
for the fact that she did not bring anything
from Mr.. Hall direct.
