The Inman steamship City OF Antwerp, Captain
Laver, from Liverpool on the 23d ultimo reached
Quarantine yesterday morning, having OR board
the eleven survivors from the ill-fated Polaris
known as the Buddington party. The vessel
steamed up the narrOws about five O'Clock. and In
the gray OF the dawn could be distinguished riding
at anchor awaiting the coming OF the Health Officer.
At halfpast six DR.. Moshier, Deputy Health Onicer,
visited the steamer. AS HERALD reporter
stepped on board and took glance at the situa-
tion, he supposed that he would be able to readily
single out the heroes OF the Polar expedition.
Such, however, was not the case. Noticing tall,

OF admirers, reporter, after waiting his oppor-
tunity asked this person If Captain Buddington or
First Mate Chester could be SEEN "Oh, yes,D re-
piled the man, with suspicious twinkle in his eye,
"that's Buddington over theren (pOinting out a
short, neavyset man, OF middle age). 'You'll find
him quite clever sort OF fellow have managed
to scrape up somewhat OF an acquaintance with
him." Just little suspicious that he was in the
presence OF the first mate himself, the reporter
was just going to seek Captain Buddington when
the latter turned and said, II say Chester, got a
light ~ Seeing that he was exposed, the first
mate, who has been awarded the highest compli-
ments for his good nature and the hopes which he
infused into the entire party when every one else
was fainthearted and despondcnt, accepted the
situation and seemed to regard it as a matter OF
course that the reporter had wanted to talk to him.

Certainly. have already shown you the cap

is from the HERALD. You will find 1t troublesome
to get the Captain to interview as you call it."
'At present." said Captain Buddington, my

age. Aside from tnat, as am aware, you care
little for what have TO say lam glad to get back,
however; so glad that indeed, have not slept

Just at this moment the Navy Yard tug Catalpa,
which had been awaiting the inspection OF the ves
sci by the Health Ocer, came alongside to take the
Argonautic heroes to the Navy Yard. As the order
was passed to the sailors to get the mems baggage
up Chester quietly remarked, 'sThere isn't enough

Gledly and willingly the eleven men climbed
down the Antwerp's side TO the tug, Tor they were
taking one step more in the direction OF home
Three long cheers were given by the passengers
