hospitality and protection which to castawsy
means life ITSELF
With regard to Master Putnam, be says
"We learned from st. Lawrence Islands tina
on the sixth day after the departure of tn
Rodgers crew. the body of the unfortunat
Master Putnam was found on the ice between
| the north and the south Head. From tn
story they tell, it appears that few day
after their departure an easterly wind spran
| up, which freshenipg into a gale caused tn
| ice to f)at into the bay and form pack, fill
ing IFS entire extent. Upon the ice the ma
| tives hunted seal, and during their excursion
repeatedly saw the body of Putnam and b.

seamen, the remainder having sailed for Sal
| Francisco by the Thomas Pope.

sorry that our trip, SO far to the eastward
would not allow me to take any ASTRONOMERS
| observations. We ran lines OF soundings
| however, during the entire cruise 10 the Arc
tic. and while we found that to the westwar
| of Point Barrow, along the coast, the sound
| ings as marked upon the chart were very cor
rect, those to the eastward were to some de
gree incorrect. l recommend that line O
| soundings be made along the coast from Poin
Barrow to the Mckenzie river"

the natives Of Kings Island, in the Arcti
Ocean-a curious people, who live upon
