! The report OF Lieut.. Healy. y.commander
of the revenue steamer Corwin. covering
the operations of the vessel on her second
northern cruise, up to the 24th ult., has
been received at the treasury department,
| having been mailed from Onalaska. Lieut..
Healy says of the natives of the st. Law
renee bay: For the benefit of any that
may be cast upon the hospitality of the
natives along the northern shores, l would
most earnestly recommend that some to-
ken of appreciation be offered to them.
This will insure the extension Of
that hospitality and protection
| which to cas.aways are means of life ITSELF
With regard to the matter of Putnam, he
said: We learned from the St. Lawrence
islanders, that on the sixth day after the
departure Of the Rodgers c rews. the body
, Of the unfortunate master, Putnam, was
found on the ice, between the north and
south head. From the story they tell, it
appears that a few days after the depart
ure. an eastcrly wind sprang up which,
freshening into a gale, caused the ice to
float into the bay and form a pack, filing
its entire extent. Upon the ice. the ma
tives hunted seal, and during the
excursions repeatedly saw the body OF
Putnam, and by his side revolvers, sled
and the skeleton of dog. Early in Au-
gust, the Corwin entered the Arctic ocean
After days cruise hero she spoke mum
ber of whaling fleets. The captain of the
bark George and the Susan reported the
loss of the steam whaler North Star
crushed in the ice July s. The Corwin re-
lieyed him of one of her wrecked seamen
the remainder having sailed for San
Francisco by the Thomas Pope. Capt
Healy says: Il was particularly sorry that
during our trip so far to the eastward
the weather would not allow me
to take any astronomical observations
We ran lines of soundings, however, during
the entire cruise in the Arctic, and while
we found that to the westward of Point
| Barrow along the coast, soundings as
marked upon the chart are very correct
those to the eastward are to some degree
incorrect. 1t is recommended that line
of soundings be made along the coast from
Point Barrow to Mckenzie river.'' Capt
Healy visited the habitations of the ma.
tives of Kings island in the Arctic ocean
curious people. who live upon pre-
cipitous hillside, as no other peo
pie live. He says the houses
are erected upon poles. Entrance to eacf
