II NORTH POLE.

DEATH OF CAPT- HALL, AND FAILURE Of HIS
ARCTIC EXPEDITION.
The steamer Tigress arrived in Roberts
Bay, eighteen miles from st. Johns, on the
10th of May, having on board nineteen Of
Capt. Halls Arctic exploring expedition, in
Guiding Capt. Tyson, assistant navigator.
This party, which had been landed from the
ship Polaris, were dri, en- from her by q gale,
which burst her moorings on the 18th Of Octo-
Der, 1872, in latitude "a degrees IS minutes.
When they last saw the Polaris she was under
steam and canvas, making for . harbor on
the east side OF Northumberland island. Two
were lost in the northern expedition two
were landed on the ice with Capt. Tyson's
party one was burnt as frewood to make wa
ter for the crew, and the other is on board Of
the Tigress.
The Polaris WAS in command Of Capt. Bud
dington, who had thirteen Of the crew along
with him, and a plentiful stock Of provisions.
Her bow was somewhat damaged, and it is the
opinion Of the survivors that they will be I'M
able to get clear until July, and even then, il
the ship is u~nseaworthy, they would have to
make new boats to effect an escape.
On the 9Th Of November, 1871, in latitude 81
degrees 80 minutes, longitude II degrees "A
minutes, Capt. Hall died Of apoplexy, and was
buried on shore, where they erected . wooden
cross to mark his grave. He had recently re-
turned from 4 northern sledgc expedition, in
which he had attained an altitude Of 50 degrees
and 1s minutes. He seemed in his usual
health, and had called his crew into the cabin
to encourage them with hopes OF future re-
wards, and to stimulate them to renewed OK
ertion, when he was suddenly struck down,
and expired, to the great grief Of those
around, TO whom he had endeared himself by
his kindness and devotion.
In September, 1871, the Polaris entered win
ter quarters, and left them on August u, 1872.
The ice was very heavy, and set in q southern
direction. She was forced south, md so con-
tiued drifting till Capt. Tyson and his party
were driven of.
A sledgc party crossed Kane's Polar sea,
which they pronounced to be q strait about
fifteen miles wide. There was an appearance
OF open water to the north.
The rescued party suffered very much during
their dreary drift from hunger and cold. They
on q few ounces daily, and latterly on
seals, eating the skins, e~ntrAils and all, for
the past two months, and are all in fairly good
health. Capt. Tyson does not expect the
Polaris will get clear before July, il in condi-
to come home. There were IA left on
board with plenty Of provisions. II the vessel
be not fit to com home, they can easily con-
struct boats for their safety.
Capt. Isaac !. Hayes, the well-knowu Arctic
in an interview the other day with
. New York reporter, gives 1t as his opinion
hat Capt. Hall was murdered by mutinous
men. He stated that Capt. Hall had reached
|, higher latitude than any previous expedition,
having penetrated to within $50 miles of the
North Pole.

OLD CoINs.-Henry Fothedngt0n, Of Will
minRton having seen our recent item about
the fhding, by Lewis Burnett, Of Spanish
coin dated 1747, in the Brandywine meadow
above Chadd's Ford, writes that he also found
a similar coin, In the same locality, about 81
years ago He has always been of the Opin-
ion that it was lost during the battle Of Brandy
wine, and his opinion was strengthened when
an Acquaintance about for years ago found an
old Spanish ''Quarter' of the same character,
in one vicinity Of an old Revolutionary prop
erty in Wilmington. The recent "lnck" of
Mr.. Burnett has further strengthened Mr..
FOtheringtOn's opinion. We think there is
but little doubt that these coins were lost at
that time by the British or HeSsian troops
