after all it is but a drop in the bucket
to giving you a full idea of the vast
amount of interesting and important
information | have gained of the ma
tives about Repulse Bay, Igloolik,
Pelly Bay, Neitchille, Great Fish or
Back River and King Williams Land,
relative to the fat or Sir John Frank
Inns Expedition In the spring of
1865 1 started from Repulse Bay on a
dog-sIedge journey to King Williams
Land. My company was entirely of
natives, and on our getting about two
hundred miles on our way we met a
party of PelIy Bay natives who were
fleeing from their country on account
oE-swar" raging there: The effect on
mYocompany was thats4en n~o,consider-
alton could they be. induced to proceed
further, and, therefore, terfib4eas was
the blow to my plans, I had to turn
back, trusting that14c could succeed in
getting a small band Of faithful white
men out of some whale-ship5, if they
should happily make into Repulse Bay.
Not until the fall of 1857 was I able tc
yet the desired number of white mer
to accompany me, besides my Esqui
mrux interpreters-Joe and HANNAH
=as an escort of defense, while making
the ~long-delayed sledge journey tc
King Williams Land, and even ther
it was at the very last moment-that il
while the whaling vessels were weigh

A Thrilling Adventure.

On Saturday evening a thrilling
adventure befell the messenger in
charge of the car of the American Ex-
press Company, on the night express
train from Erie to this city. Shortly
after leaving the former place he dis
covered to his CONSERVATION that the
contents of the car were on fire. The
car was packed full of the usual assert
ment of express freight, consisting prin-
cipally of dry goods and other mer-
chandise, and the bell-rope connecting
with the engine had been passed over
the top of the car. Both ends of
the car were crammed with packages,
only a small vacant space being left
in the center at the doors, occupied by
the messenger.
The perilous nature of his condition
can not be fully realized. The train
was whirling along through the dark
ness at the rate of thirty mills an hour,
and the fire was rapidly spreading
the dry combustibles, filling the car
with heat and smoke. He had no pos
sib,e means of signaling the engineer,
and no means of egress to the other
cars or of Communication with their
-occupsnts. He might shout himself
hoarse and his voice would be drown
ed in the roar of the train. 1t seemed
impossible for him to give any alarm
until the fire should have made such
progress as to be discovered by others,
but in the meantime himself must in
evitably be suffocated or compelled to
take the alternative of leaping from
the train. 4,
To open the doors of this car would
be but to admit the air and give a
new impetus,to the flames. But the
heat and smoke were already sitting
and something must be done immedi-
ately or he must perish. Opening one
eof the doors he wheeled one of the
iron safes to the edge of the a and
let it fall 1t was struck by the, steps
of the baggage-car, producing a con-
cussion so as to alarm its occupants.
Rightly conjecturing that something
. was wrong the engineer was signaled
and the train soon came to a stop.
The cause of the alarm was soon dis
covered, the messenger being found
leaniug as far as possible out of the
car to escape the smoke. Every APP
pliance at command was speedily
brought into requisition, and the fire
was fortunately extinguished. The
safe was picked up and the train r.
sumed its journey, arriving at its des-
tination without further accident.
