The following statement was furnished
BY Captain Tyson; On August 7, 1871, we
left Tysinac and went through Smiths
Sound, getting as far north as latitude
80 10y, when we returned and wintered
at Palovis bay, at latitude SO SCI, longs
tude SO AZ. We wore frozen up until Ito
9th Of September, On the l0lh Of October,
Captain Hall started on n sledge journey
norlh, and Returned on the 2ith when he
| was taken sick and died November Stb.
lie was buried Novemb 18th. The stick
| that carried him off is said to be apo
plsxy. We passed the winter at Paloyjs
Bay, On juno g. 1872, VIC attempted to
reach 10 the north with two boats. We
hauled our other boat on shore, and re-
turned overland on the SIh of July. We
started for home on tho 18th Of August,
and on the 18th, were hcset with ice Ia
latitude 500 q. We drifted from there
down to latitude 10 35', when We Gu.
countered heavy southwest gale. Tho
ship being uuder heavy pressure on the
night CT the 10Th, We commenced lHndisg
| pro, sogs for two or three hours, When
the pressure ceased. went on board the
vessel and asked the sailing master if the

| went TO the pumps and ascerained she
was not making any more than she had
been doing all summer. | went ON the ice
again, and shortly after, it began to crack,
aud in few minutes afterwards, broke in
many pieces. The vessel broke from her
fas'enings and was soon lost 10 sight in
the darkness and storm.
On tho brokeA ice were most Of our pro-
| visions to sustain the forty through tue
winter, and seeing nothing OF vessels, we
attempted to reach shore, ia hopes of find
ing natives TO assist us in living through
the winter. Getting yabout half way TO
shore with our heavily laden boats cur
progress became barred by drifting lee
and was compelled to haul On ice again.

blankets, n number of rifles and abundant
ammunition In the morning, knowing that

of food, clothing, eompassos, SC.
we succeeded, on the lst Of November, in
getting about half way to shore. Night
came on us, and very stormy weather in
the morning. The ice was brokcn,Eand
We were drifting southwark very fast. We
saw no more land for days. Bad weather
continuing all through November, we
| built snow houses, and made ourselves as
| comfortable rs we could. We we're ten
| white men, two EsQuimaux, two women
and five children in all We succeeded in
killing few seals, which Furnished us
| with light and fuel, with which TO warm
our scanty allowance Of food through the
darkness of the Arctic winter.
| In the latter palt of February we lived
principally On birds, aud in March com
menced to catch seals. Through that
month We supported ourselves on bears
aud seals flesh, wasting neither skins nor
cntrails. We collected e@Ough food in
this way to last us until the middle Of
May, Had we not been driven to sea by
the strong westerly gale In ,hs latter part
