tune, your correspondent would now bt
able to place before the public, trans
lated. The proverbial hospitality o.
NewfoundIanders was not wanting IL
this case. The adventurers were cared
for with the utmost attention and kind
ness, the sailors giving them their Owl
suits and under-clothing, boots, all ne
cessary apparel, and their private stores
of tea, sugar, coffee and many other
! things, with other acts of goodness ap-
propriate to such circumstances, which
are too numerous to relate.
THE TIGREss,
Having called at Bay Roberts, arrived
at-St. Johns on the 18th Of May, in the
afternoon; but the news of the wonder
full experiences and recovery of the
abandoned party had been partially tel
egraphed several days before. Their
arrival was impatiently expected, and
no sooner had the ship dropped anchor
in the harbor than crowds, putting of
in boats, besieged the decks and over
whelmed the strangers with intense Gu
riosity and torrents of questioning as
to the origin of their strange condition
and the unparalleled capabilities which
had safely brought them triumphantly
through so many and stnpendous perils.
Captain Tyson and Mr.. Myers refused
to land till night, on account of the di-
lapidated state of their clothing. The
Esquimaux men, women and children,
and most of the whites, landed early in
the afternoon. But if the excitement
on board the vessel was considerable,
THE SCENE AS THE BOATS APPROACHED
The shore was one of widest enthu-
siasm. It happened that there was ice
in the harbor, which in certain places
obstructed their passage, and as the
boats heads were turned one way or
another 10 obtain an entrance, dense col
umns of people of all classes moved up
and down the qunys, lining the water
Of the harbor, according as the course
appeared to be directed to one point or
another. Heron said that, in point of
numbers, it was a crowd not to be beaten
by Yankees. Then came the landing,
and an impetuous rush ensued to OBJ
tain the temporary custody Of
THE EsQUrMAUx CHILDREN
And to get the first good peep at the
uncommon strangers especially the
swarthv ladies. The children were Sub
missiveIy transported along the princi-
pal streets of the city in the arms of
eminent commercial gentlemen, while
the squaws, with thankful happy
smile, trustingly leaned on an arm of
others, the admired of all admirers.
They were thus escorted to their re
spective homes, provided under the Vi
giIant superintendence of the United
States Consul, Mr.. Thomas n. MolIOy,
who was careful that nothing was want
ing to insure their comfort and recu-
peration. Captain Tyson and his COM
panions were deeply touched by the
generous welcome thy had received,
and it was gratefully acknowledged by
them as one Of the most pleasant Incl
dents attending such a terrible eXpe-
rienee. The inhabitants of st. Johns
have a good knowledge of the dangers
of the Arctic Sea, and were able to IN
derstand better than people in New
York possibly could the sufferings and
privations which the abandoned mari
ners and explorers must have gone
through ere they were rescued by the
Tigress.
ON BOARD THE TIGRESs
Both Esquimaux and whites seemed to
enjoy toIerably good health. The mi
racle of the whole history is that it
should be possible for a being endowed
with merely human and ordinary pow
ers of endurance and only human ener-
gies to exist alive through such a COM
bination of periIs, exposure and suffer
ing, so inconceivabIe IN their character
and variety and for such a period Of
time; that they did not all succumb to
these strains on the faculties, both ply
sical and mental, and either voluntarily
or of necessity lie down and die at the
outset; and, still further, that they
should be
RESCUED, AFTER SIX MONTHS,
From their forlorn position-not alive |
only, but actually in the possession Of |
all their faculties, and, after a few days |
Of rest and comfort, to all appearances
hearty and well. It viii be remembered, |
however, that
THEY NEVER DEsPAIRED,
But always expected a rescue; and |
that hope, though often and |
bitterly deferred, sustained them in the |
darkest moments of their trial. On |
arriving at st. Johns most of the men
and women, the esquimaux men except /
ed, complained of being slightly i'll, |
and were placed by the Consul under
the doctors care. Some were troubled
With swollen feet, a symptom of latent
scurvy. On the second day of their
arrival they were a little worse, but no
serious consequences are anticipated.
PUDDISa AND PIES NOT UNHEALTHY.
There Is probably a great deal OF

make from DE-. Halls JouT71at Of
