AFTER THE DEATH OF BALL
Mr. Semanen, German, Baptist and tee
totaer, complains that after Captain Halls death
the regular Sunday services, which were so faith
fully held from Sabbath to Sabbath during the
Commanders regime fell into desuetude. "Things
got very changed then, tell you," are his words.

Scottish newspapers: There Is no questioning the
honest sincerity Of his emotion when he rectes his

A SKETCH OF THE FUNERAL
by Schuman Is particularly affecting The scene
OF ice, snow plain white with undriven
snow occupies the middle distance, while
montories and huge masses OF amorphous rocks.
To the left OF the picture the ebound waters OF
Polars Bay simmer in the clear light OF the
stars and the more ftlul CLEANS OF the evanescent
auroras On snow bank close to the edge OF the
bay is a wooden shed tine observatory and tall
hall-mast. In the centre OF the picture, slowly
trudging along over the snow plain, is the funeral
cortege. The bier rests on sledge and is covered
with the national hagS. In procession, two by two,
the crew in their arctic DRESS ur caps fur jackets
and top boots, with lanterns in their hands, are
gently dragging the sledge with hawser One
man marches lew PAGES in advance at the head
OF the procession, lantern in hand. Behind the
sledge are the Esquimau members OF the crew,
struggling after the sledge In bewderment ana
grief at the scene. An endeavor was made to get
this picture tor the London Illustrated Neos, but
the owner, Captain Buddington, to whom it has
been presented, was unwilling to part with 1t.
AN EXAMPLE OF SCOTTISH HOSPITALITY.
During their short stay IN Dundee the officers
departure last night the railway depot was
thronged with a crowd Of respectfully dressed per-
sons, among whom were several ladies' The otii-
GERS and crew were bid an affectionate farewell,
and 1t was remarkable evidence OF the strong
hold they had established over the affections OF the
Dundee people that at the Misunderstanding and
kissing, which was indulged In most prolusely at
parting, each addressed the other familiarly by
name as II their acquaintance had been OF years
standing instead OF short four days. Three ringing
cheers lor the crew OF the Polaris given the
train left the station which cheering was heartily
reciprocated from the cars. On their arrival at
Pesth another crowd gave them similarly enthu-
slastc " ecome. Before leaving Dundee an ad-
dres.9 was presented by the officers and OF
the P0lars to Captain Adams of the Arctic, for bis
kindness to them on the voyage. 1t was slngnlarly
characteristic OF the undemonstratlve nature OF
the warm-hearted Scotch, that while they were
overnowing with sympathy for the castaways there
were, nevertheless, no bands OF music, no display
OF bunting, no parade OF public bodies to accom-
paly the crew to the railway depot. That is not
the Scotch way OF managing matters. II was the
grip OF the hand, the hurried, half-choked '.gude
bye" the stihed sob and the silent tear on the
cheek that testified to the deep affection which
Old Scotias children felt for the brave-hearted
American explorers whom the vicsstudes OF for
tune had cast upon their distant shores.
