takably Indicated the existence of an
unfrozen ocean beyond the channel.
The mild weather, with fogs and mists,
which were brought down by northerly
winds, could not come from
any other source. Land was visible
to the north and west of this body of
water a great distance. Now was the
moment to embrace the present favor
able opportunity, which was liable to
be defeated by the slightest sudden
change, and by prompt continuation
of their hitherto successful adventure,
achieve the glorious goal for which they
had haZarded so much. But here, on
the eve of victory, arose that fatal
difference of opinion which blasted
all the heroic explorers prospects
and rendered fruitless that mighty
energy and labor which had already led
him such a distance over the barren
and inhospitable regions of the north.
The sailing-master, Buddington, had
several times expressed his anxiety to
go no farther, and strongly urged the
necessity of retreating to winter at Port
Hope, nearly two hundred and forty
miles south of their present highly
advantageous position. Hall was de-
termined to proceed if possible, and
would not consent to this latter PROPOSE
ton Buddington, however, persisted.
Before concluding to retreat, Hall called
counsel, consisting of himself, Capt
ain Tyson, Chester, the mate, and Bud
dingtOn, to consider which course
was the most advisable. At this ceun-
ell Captain Tyson strongly advocated
Captain Halls views, and urged the
improperly of desisting. The brave
and the right course was overruled, to
which Captain Hall probably owed
his death. If the vessel had continued
on its course, as Captain Hall desired
and urged, the expedition would in all
probability have been crowned with
success, and the cherished dreams
of many geographeTs and explorers
been realized but for an unaccOuntable
timidity, the offspring of craven cow
ardice or some other improper motive,
which annihilated the hopes of Captain
Hall. Buddihgton, from his position,
which he occupied, and was master Of
the situation. He said, Thus far have
you gone; you shall go no further,u and
he was Obeyed, reluctantly, of course,
as a matter of necessity. 1t is
impossible to analyze the motives
which prompted Buddington. From his
knowledge of the arctic regions he must
have known that it was as dangerous to
turn back as to proceed, and that if the
vessel was to be frozen in it might as
well be in one place as another.
