the 6rs being caused BY spontaneoui
csmbustion Of her coal. She was An
ohored at some distance from the shor.
when the firs vas Discovered, and, aftsl
everything had besn done to save hs1
without success, was run ashore and
scuttled in order TO save - much pro
visions a. possible, bat owing to the po
sition Of the Ere very few supplies could
be got out Of her. Tho steamer was
surrounded with slush ios, through
which II was almost impossible 10 forc>
boat, and the crow experienced very
difficult time in getting ashore. They
we're distributed among the native Ts-
houktohuas in the vicinity Of North
Head, and, ~ provisions were short,
had to live on walrus and seal meat.
Lisut. X. n. Berry and EnGign H.
Hunt left st. Lawrence bay on tho 23d
OF December, TO search along the Sibe-
rian coast for traces Of the Jeanette
expedition. Master Waring recei red a
letter from him dated Kolyma river,
April 4th, saying hs had heard Of the
loss Of the Jeannette, and should pro-
ceed on his search for tho survivors,
and ordering Mr.. WarinQ to make tho
best OF his way to San Francisco. On
tho 4th Of February Master C. F. Put
nam. commanding the supply depot at
Cape Serge Karmen, who had heard of
tho burning Of the Rodgers and had
gone to st. Lawrence bay with provi-
sions, while returning to his station got
separated from his native escort during
a heavy gale and snow storm, and vas
carried out to sea ON the ice Zoe that
separated from tho main pack, and al
though he was seen several times after
ward and attempts were made to reach
him, none Of them succeeded and he was
lost. Whom Mr.. WarinR heard Of his
disappearance he caused an sxtendsd
search ever more than $50 miles of
coast line to b made for traces Of him,
but without success, although several Of
his dogs swan ashore, one of them with
. bullet wound in his neck. The party
suffered severely during tho winter
from hunger, the native supply Of wal
rus meat being limited, although tho
Indians often went hungry themselves
in order to give to the whites. Luckily
but few Of the men were afflicted with
scurvy, and they suffered very lightly.
Mr.. War,ng left letters with the natives
along the coast, one Of which foil into
the hands Of Captain Owens, Of the
steam whaler North Star, who immedi-
atsly proceeded to the relief Of the
party, and ON the 18th of May succeeded
in getting them all ON board his vessel.
Capt. Owens generously offered to land
the party at either tho fort Of st.
Michasls, Ounalaska, or San Francisco,
a. they might desire; but ON tho even
ing of the l4th the Corwin came along
and the psrty was transferred to her.
The Corwin left Sitka for San Fran
cisco few days ago. The officers
saved BY the North Star and transferred
to the Corwin are Master H. 8. Warine.
