The Secretary of the Navy has sent to the
President his report in full of the investi
CATION of the Polaris matter, in which he
says that the statements of all the persons
rescued, who could speak or understand
English, except that of the wife of Hans
Christian, were taken down, and are now
together with the diaries kept by some of
the party on the ice, and a diary Of the
cruise of the Polaris (the latter kept in Ger
man by Hermann Searns, one of the seamen
remaining on board, and picked up on the ice
after separation from the ship), being printed,
the bulk of them being already in type.
Secretary Robson says it must be clearly un-
derstood that, in permitting this publication,
the Department neither make nor declare any
Judgment against Buddington, who has no op-
portunity for defense or explanation. The
facts show that, though he was perhaps want
ing in enthusiasm for the grand objects of the
expedition, and at times grossly lax in disci-
pline, and though he differed in judg-
ment as to the possibility, safety and
propriety of taking the ship further
north, yet he is an experienced and
careful navigator, a man not addicted
to liquor (of which none remained on board at
the time of separation), and safe and COM
petent commander. The Secretary then gives
details of measures taken by him to send the
steamers Juniata and Tigress to the relief, if |
possible of the Polaris and the remainder of
her crew. The Tigress he proposes to pur- |
chase and strengthen for the service required |
in a search in the Arctic regions Captain Ty- |
son, Esquimaux Joe, and all the rescued sea-
men, will accompany the expedition, being |
anxious to rescue their comrades and bring |
out their old ship.
