rhs e..ee!y Survivors Improving
Arrival or the Alert.
ST. JOINS, N. f.. July 10 The SUR
vivors are all doing we'll but are still
weak and suffering from nervous pros
trations. LIEUT.. Greedy has improved
from 10 pounds weight on the 22i of
June to 1859 pound, to-day. Sergeant
Brainard and others are pulling up pro-
portionately.

rived here at P. N. Her detention was

Getting the Dead Ready-Atten-
lions TO Greedy aud the Other
survivors.
1T. JOINS, N. F., July l9.-Caskcts
for the deceased will be prepared by
Thursday and the ships will sail Thurs
day night or Friday morning. Lieut..
Greedy and men are progressing favor
ably, Greedy more so, perhaps, than the
others. Yesterday he exhibited symp-
toms of great fatigue and weakness. He
is talking too much, and the constant in
terviewing operates unfavorably. He
was taken for drive yesterday up the
valley to Waterford bridge and gloated
upon the beautiful, fertile summer pros
pect, in marked contrast to the bleak
steriliiies he has so recently seen in his
cabin home. The trees, he said, with
exubrrant enthusiasm, look so beauti-
full to an eye that has seen no vegetation
for over three years. The green fields
give me new life. Greedy is the guest of
the city, private houses and carriages
are at his disposal, aud every kindness
and attention is paid him. Each men,
Der OF the party forms the center of list
euing aud adniring groups, and goes
over and over the recital of the terrible
past. There will be memorial service
Tor the dead in all the churches of the
city tomorrow, and commemorative SER
mons will be preached.

General IIazen is annoyed by criticisms
which have been made respecting the
non establishment OF a depot near Cape
Sabine, upon the west coast of the
chanuel and has prepared the following
memorandum in respect to the matter:
1t was the pan from tho first to
place depot upon the east bank OF
Greenland, at Littleton Island. This
was Greely's plan after very careful
| and prolonged study of the whole sub
jrct. He not only made plan before
| he started, but very carefully reiterated
it in writing after he reached Lady
Franklin Bay, closing his letter on the
| subject in these words: mo Elevations
| from these instructions should be per-
mitted. Latitude OF action should not
be given to the relief party who, on an
unknown coast, are searching for men
who knew their plans and orders" The
pledge of tho Signal Office to support
| Greedy Is in exact accordance with this
arrangement, and was the most sacred
any man could give. To have departed
from it would have been base treachery.
