Joy AND SORROW.
DanenhOWer and Party Home
Again.


Again.
New York. 2s.-The steamship Celtic,
bearing Lieutenant Dsner hoWer. Dr..
NeWc0mb, Jack Cole and CHARLES Ton
sing, survivors OF the Arctic steamer
Jeanette, arrived early to-day. When
the vessel was reported of Fire Island,
party consisting of immediate relatives
AND friends OF the voysgels started In
tug from the Battery to meet them. As
the tug ran alongside the Celtic Lieuien-
ant DanenhOWer leaped on board md
aHectioDstely embraced his mother and
fsther and was warmly welcomed home
by others. Lieutenant Danenbower then
invited bis relatives and friends to his
cabin on the steamer and presented ell to
bis associate survivors. The party then
listened to q recital of the dreadful suffer-
inRs in the far North and the tale of the
fate of Commander belong and his
men, uatil the steamer reached her dock.
Arrived there, Lieutenant Oanenhowpr
was surrounded by congTatulainE
friends who had gathered TO give him 8
hearty welcome, and they did. For 40
hour he was kept busy shaking hands and
answering inquiries. While all this was
happening on the upper deck, far diff
ierent scene was presented i'll 8 small
cabin below. There, with his arns pin
ioaed behind him, Was poor Jack Cole,
boats vain Of the Jeanette, crazy from
long suffering. His brother, Thomas
Cole, and his son John, were quick to go
to him. and the unfortunate man at once
recognized them, affectionately greeting
both. 1t was sad to sea the weeping
son, sorroWing brother and demented
father. Immediately after speaking to
his son, his mind again wandered and
he was once more away among the ice
fields, struggling with the tase threat
eniRg him. He will be sent to an asy-
lum. Lieutenant Danenhower says be
has great confidence that Jack will re-
cover with proper treatment in a few
months. It was found necessary to Sc
cure him during the voyage, ss the
slightest thing would make him frantic.
Lieutenant DsnenheWer said, ia answer
to inquiries concerning his voyage, that
he was not as yet prepared 70 talK. There
will be thorough, searching eXsmina-
how this matter stands. So far as the
suffered terribly. See my eyes; some say
l shall lose the sight OF both. l hope
not. One (the left one) is almost entirely
blind, but the other appears to be at pres
ent all right. In answer TO, q question
propounded as to his views on Engineer
Melville, Lieutenant DanenhoWer earn
eetly said; Please say this for me,
that never used the language in the
sense sscribed to me, derogatory of Mel
vile. Say that consider him a
brave man and an honorable gen.
tleman, who suffered with Us. The
attack on him WAS unjust and
cowardly, particularly in his absence
Melville did all in his power and did 1t
we'll. regret exceedingly that anything
touching his fair name should have been
said, for it was undeserved. It wss un-
Just both to him and myself. Wait till
the examination comes. Wait till Mel
Vile comes home and has chance to
speak for himself" =.
DR.. Newton Eewcen1b, who accompa-
MED the Jeanette expedition as natural
list, was very indignant over the trest-
ment of Melville, and termed it cow
ardly. mean, and deserving the highest
cenIure. why" said the doctor,
was so incensed when l resd these base
charges against Melville, that l was on
the point OF inditing letter to the press
of America on the subject; but, on rehec-
ton. concluded to wait l want to say
that what ia charged against Melville is
ss untrue as it is cOWsrdly. Why could
not his accusers wait until he reached
home and had e chance to defend him
self? but to stab him in the back, 10 at
tack him when be has no chance 10 de-
fend himself, is a most cowardly piece of
business. If thought" continued the
doctor, "that l could find one OF the
poor fellows who were lost, would turn
this minute and go back to all that hard
ship and privstion eheerfully; yes,
gladly, in order to save them. This life |
has no fascination for me. l simply go
as q matter of business, and if am called |
upon to go again, tomorrow l am ready |
and willing TO go"
Lieutenant Danenhower said of
the lost members of the Jean
nette crew, that rossibly an oar
or q small portion of their boat might be
found, but that would be ell.
Charlie Tong Sing, a Chinsman,
stewart Of the Jeanette, said, when |
asked, if he could go again, with funny j
grin: "Yes. mebbe." He appesred ths |
strongest of the entire four, and viewed |
with an air of stoicism al his surround
ings.
On leaving the steamer, Lieutenant
Danenhower and party were driven to
the Fifth Avenue hotel, where rooms |
had been engaged for them, and where |
there was a famil3 breakfast. He will
remain in this city for day or two, and |
then go to Washington. On the way he
will stop in Philadelphia to visit friends
there. When he spoke of Commander
De Long, his voice was choked with
emotion and his eyes most. The geo.
society gives a reception to
Lieutenant Danenhower.
New York, 28.-The sight of Lieuten-
