The Arctic Expedition.

The following is additional to the despatch
we published yesterday, in relation to Cap
tain Halls Arctic expedition:
New York, May 10.
We succeeded on the first of November in
getting about halfway to the shore, when
night came on us, and very stormy weather.
In the morning, the ice was broken, and we
were drifting southwark very fast. We saw
no more land for many days. Bad weather
continuing all through the month of Novem-
Der, We built snow houses and made ourselves
as comfortable as we could. We were ten
white men, two Esquimaux men, two women
and five children in all. We succeed in kill
ing few seals, which furnished us with light
and fuel, with which to warm our scanty al
lowancc Of food through the darkness of the
Arctic winter. In the latter part of Febru-
ary, we lived principally upon birds, and in
March commenced to catch seals. Through
that month we supported ourselves on bear
and seal flesh.
We collected enough food in this way to
last US till the middle of May, had we not
been driven 10 sea by a strong westerly gale
In the latter part of March, our foe piece be-
ing then reduced from Ave miles in circum-
ference is about 20 yards in diameter.
We left the piece on the first of April and
abandoned nearly all our meat, a large
amount of ammunition, clothes, skins and
articles, taking portion of the meat in the
boat, which we were obliged to throw over.

ly laden. ! regained the outer edge of the
ice on the third of April, and succeeded in
getting little farther In the pack. On the
4th heavy north east gale set in, a heavy
sea running under, which broke it in small
pieces, so that we had to live on small packs.
We could not put the best boat out; neither
could we find seals for food. On the 2lst OF
April we sighted Polar bear. Every per
son was ordered to lie down and initiate the
seal, while two Esquimaux secreted them
selves behind piece of ice enticing the bear
near enough to us to kill him.
A few days after we got our boat into the
water, and worked our way west and south
west, and continued to work, every opportu-
nty, to the westward, in the hope OF reach

in dense fog, and provideentially struck the
very foe on which they were, otherwise they
must have persisted. They all seem toler-

led legs and feet, but nothing serious is the
matter with him. When they left the polaris
all on board were in good health.
