The Missing Arctic ship Ezra.
from the TSmes.J

llID OhI AAtLb w bAAS 11A OSN1 $500
it is supposed that he would endeav-
our, if the ice was sufficiently open,
to reach the coast Of Franz Josef
Lard, and pursue his discoveries of
1880. The Ezra was provided with
one years provisions, but with little
or no equipment for %wintering, as it
was not intended that the voyage
should be continued beyond the nayi-
gable season. The Ezra was last
seen by a Norwegian walrus-hunter
off the south west coast of Nova Fem
bla in the month of July last, evident
" having waited for the ice to open,
and having beeo headed off to the
southwark by the ice-pack. This
pack usually extends TO some 200
miles southwark of Franz Josef Land,
and forms a barrier between Spitz-
bergen and Nova Zembla. it is a
matter Of extreme doubt whether the
Ezra ever reached the land, and it is
possible that Mr.. Smith, in an attempt
to push through the pack, may have
been SO beset that he was unable to
extricate his ship, and has drifted
away with the winds and currents
into unknown space. On the other
hand, the Ezra may have reached the
coast of Franz Josef Land and have
been frozen up in some bay or har-
bour, and compelled to pass the win
ter there, in which case she could
not he released until late in August.
If, again, she has been lost on the
coast her position is indeed serious.
It is evident that if a relief ship could
reach the Era the opportunity which
enabled Ter to do 50 would equally
serve the Ezra for escape, provided
that the crew have remained by her.
It is, however, considered that in
either event-viz, her being beset in
the drifting pack or her being frozen
in upon the land-the crew would
make an effort to return over the ice
and sen with their sledges and boats
towards Nova ZembIa or Spitzber-
gen, according to the meridian at the
time of abandoning the ship, and also
during the only season when such
means of travelling are available. If
they have adopted this plan, the
boats may be locked for at the edge
of the pack, II upon the >pitzbergen
or Nova Zembla coasts, towards the
end of August,
When it became evident that the
Ezra was detained in the ice last
year, a deputation Of Arctic experts,
headed by the President of the Royal
Geographical Society, represented to
the Admiralty the necessity of send
ing an expedition to relieve her.
The deputation dwelt upon the spe-
cial claims of Mr.. Leigh Smith, found
ed on his previous geo graphical re-
searches, and they also expressed
their views that a fully organised
Government expedition should be
sent, as the difficulty and expense of
carrying out one by private means
would be considerable. After some
d%eliberation, the Government declin-
ed to send or to be in any way res
ponsible for such IN expedition, but
promised On certain conditions to
contribute a small sum to any private
undertaking that might be organized.

do more than supplement the Eira's
W efforts for escape. The best
chance of assisting them will be the
possibility Of picking up tn retreat
inc party when arriving on the limits
Of the ice pack, or upon the coast Of
Nova Zembla or S%pitzbergen.
The friends of Mr.. Leigh Smith
having decided to fit out an expedition,
Nr. ! V. Smith came forward and
guaranteed the cost but as the Go
vernment grant was so small a proper
ton of the whole cost, the expedition
has become a private one in its plan
and organization. TIE steam whal-
ing-shIp Hope has been chartered,
and a complete staff of officers and
men lave been engaged. The ship
will have ample provisions, besides
an equipment Of ice-boatS, sledges,
tents, &C., as, although it is not inten-
ded that the Hope should winter out,
it is considered prudent to have
every means for provid ng against
such a casualty. In preparing the
instructions to the commander OF the
Hope the committee has been as>is-
ted by the written opinions and sug-
gestions Of Baron N~0rdenskjoll, Of
Commodore Jansen, chairman Of the
Dutch Arctic Committee, and Of Lieu
tenant Payer, the surviving leader OF
the Austro- Hungarian Arctic Expedi-
ton.
1t is a canon in ice navigation to
avoid by every possible means being
beSet IN Il moving oceanic pack, and a
shippuShing into such Il pack has every
chance Of being caught and surround
ed unless extreme caution is eXercis-
ed, especially in case of fog, snow
storms, new ice forming, or Of the
old ice closing together. Therefore
no ship should enter the pack unless
there are clear indications from the
appearance of the ice and the sky
that 1t is sufficiently open to proceed
or to retreat before the close of the
navigable season. Once beset, a ship
drifts helpleSsly until either crushed
or by some fortuitou5 event released.
Such has been the fate of many of
the early ice navigators, and, in re-
cent times, Of the Fox, the T~egetholf,
the Jeanette, and possibly thnt also
Of the Ezra. A ship, therefore, at
tempting to follow the Ezra would
run the risk, we're she to enter such
apack, of being herself bes"t, and thus
render herself useless to others and a
source of anxiety at home. The
Hope, therefore, will have instruc-
tons to mike depots of provisions on
the west coast of Nova ZembIa, erect
cairns, and place records on conspi-
cuouS points in the event of the re-
treating parties arriving on that coast,
The Hope will then examine the ice
of Barents Sea, and as its position
varies very much in different years,
her future movements will be left to
the judgment Of her commander
but strict orders will be given that
under no circumstances is the risk to
be run Of being finally beset in the
pack or Of being caught and compell-
ed to winter. The Hope will MOI be
alone in the Barents Sea. The Dutch

Remissness Of Mr.. NIurch.

We recently quoted from Mr.. Murch'.
Fourth of July speech at Chicago, his ardent
declaration Of a desire to see the ballot put
into the hand Of every human being. Now
Mr.. Murch knows that the ballot is worthless
unless il can be freely cast. fairly counted
and given its lawful effect. Yet when the
case Of Lynch, the republican from Mississippi
whose seat in Congress had been awarded to
Chalmers by counting ost frauds, came up in
Congress, Mr.. Murch countenanced the fraud
BY absenting himself and not voting. Chain
ere had been in this district and stumped for
Murch. and he couldn't vote against him.
Notwithstanding his deep devotion TO that
"glorious ballot" as he sees fit to call il.
Again when the case of Mackey Va. Dibhle

was "absent and not voting"
