THE JEANETTE.
| WAsHIgGroN, Feb. lS.-The Jeanette
court OF inquiry reports the iollswng facts
as deemed established by the evidence al
duced concerning the circumstances OF the
| loss of the Jeanette, and both DeLong anu
others of her officers and men Although
the weigh, of evidence SHOWS the jean
nette was not especially adapted In strength
or model TOR Arctic exploration, the iact
that an experienced explorer hau hlaoe
cruises in her TO the Arctic seas, sustains
| tn" judgment and care shown IN her selee'
ton, When last purch ,sed she was
strengthened aud improved, and the condl-
ton OF the vessel on her departure from
| San Francisco was good and satisfactory TO
her officers and crew, except thai she was
unavoidaby deeply loaded, detect when
| corrected itself by the consumption oil coal,
provisions and stores. The evidence relative
10 the management of the Jeanette up 10
the time OF her loss shows that the chances
of reaching WraDgle Island were sufficiently
good TO justify the commander IN attempt
ing to reach IL, rather than return TO some
southern point and pass the winter IN IDLE
ness. Had he done otherwise than he did,
he might fairly have been thought wanting
in the high qualities necessary to the ex-
plorer of the expedition. Every |
opportunity was improved Tor
gaining scientific information, and three is
lands were discovered, two OF which were
visited, explored and taken possession OF III
the name OF the United States, In the man
agement of the Jeanette, up to the time
OF her destruction. Commander DeLong,
by his foresight and prudence, provide d
measures TO meet the emergencies ana en-
force wise regulation. The fact OF the
ships having passed second winter
in the. ice without the appearance
of scurvy ON board attests the ex-
cellence of the sanitary arrangements
adopted, and reflects great credit upon
Surgeon Amber. AS to the circumstances
OF the loss oftle vessel, the court attaches
no blame TO any officer or man, and the re-
port says the provisions made ana plaas
adopted Tor the several boat crews upon
leaving the wreck were iudicious, as 1t is
shown that ten days after the destruction
of the Jeanette, the officers and
men were i'll n ialr condl'
ton, Notwithstanding their terrible
journey, The story OF the retreat from the
vessel, with accompanying suffering, disap-
pOiutmcnt, dangers and delays, the death
OF Del.one and his companions, aud the
subsequent discovery of their dead bodies,
is rscited at considerable length, and the
conclusion reached that everything possible
was done by the various officers
to insure the safety of the parties under
their immediate ohargi and tor the relief of
other parties. A list of the officers and
crew OF the jeanette is'given, showing their
assignment to the boats on the
retreat, and their final fate or
disposition, and the general conduct
