NEW YORK, May 10.
A dispatch from St. John, n. b., dated
May 8, says the steamer Walrus arrived
from the seal fishery at the port of St.
John this morning, bringing the news
that the steamer Tigress had come into
Roberts Bay, IS miles from here, hay
ing on board 10 of the survivors OF
Halls Arctic Expedition. The following
are the names of the rescued: II. c.
Tryson, assistant navigator; Fred. Meyer,
msteorologist; John Heron, steward;
W. G. Kruger, Fred. Jamka, VIM. Neude-
man, Fred. hreting, Gustavus I. Luigist,
Peter Johnston, VIM. Jackson, the cook,
an Esquimaux, Joe, the interpreter,
Hanna Child, Esquimux; Hans Chris
tian, Of Kane's expedition, and Hans
Christians wife and four children, the
youngest eight months old. This party,
which had been landed from the Polaris,
were driven from her by gale which
bursted her moorings on the 18th of Oc-
tober, 1872, in latitude 70 deg. So min.
When they last saw the Polaris she was
under steam and canvass, making for
Harte's, on the east side of Northumber-
land Island. She had no boats left of
the six which she brought with her from
the port of New York. Two were lost
in the northern expedition, two were
landed on the ice with Captain Tyson
aud party, one was burnt as frewood to
boil water for the crew, and the other is
on board the Tigress. The Polaris was
in command of Captain Buddington,
4 who had ID of the crew with him and a
plentiful stock of provisions. Her bow
was somewhat damaged, and it is the
opinion of the survivors that they will
be unable to get clear until
July, and not even then, if the
ship is found to be unseaworthy. They
would have to make new boats to effect
an escape. On the Sth Of October 1871,
in 81 deg. 50 min., and longitude II deg.
A min, Captain Hall died and was
buried on shore. They erected wooden
cross to mark his grave. He had recent.
ly returned from the northern sledge
expedition, in which he had attained 9
latitude OF 50 deg. 16 min. He seemed
to be in his usual health and had called
the crew into the cabin to encourage
them with hopes of future rewards, and
to stimulate them to further exertions,
when he was struck down and expired
to the great grief OF those around, to
whom he had endeared himself by Iii:
kindness. In September 1871, the Pc
laris entered winter quarters, and lief
August u, 1872. The ice was very heavy
and set in southerly direction. Sh,
was forced south and SO continued drift
ing till Captain Tyson and party were
driven from her. The sledge party
crossed Kane's Polar Sea, which the,
pronounce to be a strait about fifteer
miles wide. There was an appearance O
open water to the north. Tn,
rescued party suffered very much, durin,
their dreary drift, from hunger and cold
For the last two months they ate IA,
seals and Polar bears, as they could get it
When met by the Tigress they showed
evident signs Of their great sufferings
but during the nine days that the,
hora
improved vastly and are now in fail
health. The party is in charge Of thu
United States Consul, and will arrive a
st. Johns on Monday. A dispatch from
Washington says the news of the disaster
to the Polaris affected the Presiden
deeply, as he had hoped the enterprise o
the Government in this direction woult
rebound to the national honor.
