New YORK, May 81.
The London papers of the 10th, re

He had good health up to the time
of returning from. the sledge eXpedi-

on board, but complained soon after,
and said that the heat OF the cabin
affected him. l asked what he would
have was anxious to get him some
thing nice. He didn't care about any
thing but a emp of coffee, and didn't
drink even that. He was sick a fort
night and talked very little. He was
perfectly delirious the last few days.
l think he was paralyzed i'll II side.
There was nothing sudden about his
death. lie was attended by DIR. BeS-
sells and Mr.. Morton, who did every
thing in their power to alleviate his
suffering. His death made u all feels
sad"

southeast and about 500 PAGES from
the observatory in Polaris Bay.
i'll latitude Sl:3S, and longitude 61:4i
ON shore. We erected a board over
his grave, with inscription, giving
his name, agr at so Years, and as the
Commander of the North Pole Expe-
dition. All hands, except the cook. at
tended his funeral. 1t was a Ozark,
dismal, cold, windy, disagreeable day,
the wind mournfully bowling and
hearts all enveloped in the deepest
sadness. l held a lantern, by the
light OF which the eautilul service of
the Episcopal Church was read by
Mr.. Bryant. Few of those present
will ever forget the deeply affecting
scene. Old sailors, whose faces We're
bronzed by Summer suns and frozen
in Arctic seas, wept aloud. Captain
Hall was universally beloved, and hi,
death at the time when enterprise
promised so hopefully, was felt by the
survivors to be an irretrievable loss.
Those thoughts we're upperinost in
our minds, and when the funeral par
ty returned to the ship. there was
huSled silence attending the perform
ance OF every duty.
