summer, while deer were found IN thc

lished a great many, depots Of provis-

to be used in case Of necessity. .--
! pLast spring Mr.. Hall made a Jour.
ney North .wost, toward Committee
Bay and King Williams Land, but
found the natives Of that region 90
trcaoherous aud jealous that no vas
forced to return when within one
hundred miles Of his destination.
This animosity and fcud Is between
the different families and tribes Of the
Esquimaux, who ali carry weapons
secretly, aud no not hesitate TO kill
each other for supposed injury. Some
Of them threatened tho lives Of Mr.
Hall aud his party, and they we've OBJ
ligcd TO turn back
"Mr. Hall has secured many relici
Of the Frunklin exploring expedition
/ together with some important docu
monts which he believes to have beer
penned By Captain Crosier, and hal
Information Of the locslity Of severa
others, which he is determined to OBJ
tain, believing them to be Of mucl
value toward clearing up the myster.
of the fate Of the unfortunate suryl
yors of the Erebui and Terror Mr.
\ Hall Is continually adding to hi
stock Of information Of tho object o
his search. Being further know
among the natives, he is constant,
gathering fresh traces and new proof
to establish previously known ftctH
"Among other things, he has heai'
Of the location Of boat turne bot
tom up, under which nre the deaf
bodies Of seventeen TO twenty hv
white men with their hands aud lee
all cut off. The natives claim tha
the .mutilation was not done by them
but by some Of tho whito men VIII
were wrecked. The tradition of thl
Esquimnux is, that rebellion brokl
out among the survivors, who were
endeavoring to reach Budson's Bay
and that all but three wore murdered
that these three remained among III
natives, working their way toward tn
white settlements, but that they hnal
lly died before reaching them.
"Captain Morgan furnished MI
Hall such things as hc needed iro'
the ship, and states that two or thre
American whaling vessels will wintc
at Rcpulse Bay this season
"Mr. Hall expresses his great gro
itudc and regird for those who ha
aided him at home to undertake b
plans Of discovery. lilo said that b
was determined to carry out his plar
, if IL could be done without too mue
expense, aud conclude his explora
4 tions in that quarter the ensuing yea
Ho wished very much to organize
B small party Of six or eight VIII
r men, fully armed, to accompany hir
;, He could then travel with impunlt
and reach the utmost limit Of his d
u sircs. 1t is not improbable that sue
0 party can bo made up from u
n ships crews winteripg there.
