RELIEF EXPEDITIONS.
Notwithstanding that nothing was heard of
the Jeannettee for year and half no grave
apprehensiOns were entertained until the spring
of the present year. News being still forthcom-
ing at that time it was deemed wise to execute
some concerted plan of action for the discovery
of the whereabouts of the ship and her crew.
Not since Franklin's absence enlisted the anxiety
of the world has any explorer been the subject
OF such universal comment as De Long. and the
present year will be memorable in the annals of
Arctic effort. no less on account Of the termina-
ton OF the Jeanette expedition than for the
general activity evinced in the search for her.
The United States alone sent out five expedi-
tiOns into the Polar Basin. with instructions to
seek and succOr the explorers; England was
represented by private gentleman, Mr.. Leigh
Smith. who CALAMITY took upon himself the
duty of searching in the region Of Franz Josef
Land, and another expedition. under Dutch
auspices, in the ship Wilhelm BarentZ, vOlun
teered to make the search for the Jeannettee
part of its programme. OF the four expedi-
tions sent out by the United States, the most
important was that in the Rodgers under the
command Of Lieutenant Berry. Although the
Rodgers was no more successful than the others
in the direct object of her search her commander
achieved great geographical results, for ne
proved that Wrangell Land was an insignificant
island instead of a vast Pole encumbering CONT
nent:
Tie next expedition in order was that of the
Alliance. under the command of Commodore
Wadlegh. The Rodgers and Alliance left
