a marvellous report comes TO US this
morning from San Francisco, viz: that
document has been picked up on the
beach at a point on the California coast
giving an account Of the long lost, long
searched for and finally given up Sir
John Franklin Expedition, which more
than twenty years ago undertook to
ilnd a Northwest Passage tO the Pacific
around tho American continent, and
nerished In the unsuccessful attempt.

one Oh the l0st party should now be
found aftor twenty years. tossing about

spot where II was committed 10 the sea,
As It strikes us, there Ia an odor OF
lsh about the whole story. First Il
comes from q party deemed "relIable."
Most hoaxes come from that kind OF a
source. Then turning to the map we
find the spot where this paper purports
to have been committed to the waves,
Is In Victoria Strait, directly north Of
and about the centre Of the continent,
There may be n passage thence 10 the
open sea connecting with Behring's

direction, and the movements OF Ice.
bergs indicate that they do. How did
this paper, then, find It's way from q
point In lat. 60. and Ion. 9s into the
Pacific?
Then, again, the puper Is so "muti.
lated" as to be nearly Ineligible. or

But the most singular thing Is that
the direction Of tho document should
be printed In six languages. Sir John
Franklln's party must have been pro.
vidGd with rather unusual printing
facilities for polar expedition, to be
able TO achieve such piece or work as
this.
We shall await further particulars
and evidence before giving implicit
credenCe to this somewhat incoherent
story.
