ARCTIC EXPLORATION.
Gallant Victims Claimed by the Insatiate
North Pole.

Gallant Victims Claimed by the InsatIate
North Pole.
There is a terrible fascination about
Arctic exploration which not all the
dread tragedies that mark its history,
the hundreds of victims offered up to
the Moloch of the North, the many gal.
liant hearts that became forever still in
the regions of eternal ice. can check.
Melville, who might be supposed to
have had enough of polar experience
during that awful winter on the Siberian
coast when the Jeanette was lost, has
been impatient ever since to head
an expedition III search of that
death-incloscd point of latitude
where never observation has been
taken nor the flag of any nation
has waved. The ex-engineer of the
Jeanette has sought IN vain for inan-
cial aid for this pet project of his, but
the most liberal friends of geographical
discovery have been deferred by the fate
of the Jeanette and Greedy expeditions,
and the various Governments which
once encouraged these enterprises now
look upon them with distrust and dread.
Colonel Glider, who was with the Rodg-
ers at Wrangel Island and ira verscd
Siberia after the burning of the vessel,
now proposes to set out with party OF
Esquimaux in the direction of the pole.
A United States naval officer has also
started on similar expedition.
What long and glorious record of
adventure, heroism, suffering and death
Arctic exploration furnishes since the
Norsemen and Icelanders first entered
Baflin's Bay over eight centuries ago.
History can boast of no nobler list than
that of the hardy voyagers who braved
the terrors of the sea of ice and pene-
trated the regions of eternal silence.
The Cabots, who discovered this conti-
nent Sir Hugh Willoughby and Will
liam Barentz, the first victims of that
deadly cline, Henry Hudson, whose
discovery of the river and bay that be ar
his name overshadows his daring ex-
plorations beyond Smith Sound; Ross,
Parry, Franklin. Mcclure, McClintock,
Kane, Hayes, Hall, belong, Greedy.
Schwatka and Nordenskjold are names
that will rank as high as those
who led armies or marshalled
fleets in line of battle. II
seems useless to utter warn
ings to the Arctic adventurer. The
pole draws him toward it as the needle,
even though the pathway be that OF
death. The stories of fearful suffering.
the stout vessels which have been caught
in the deadly embrace of the ice foes.
the numerous graves that dot every
headland looking out on the frozen wa.
tiers and the shattered constitutions Of
those who returned from the polar re-
gions, have no effect upon Arctic explo'
ration. Like the Minotaur, the insatiatt
pole CLAIMS its quota of victims regular.
". Colonel Glider and Engineer Peary,
however, will not take any crews with
them, but propose to rely entirely upon
the natives. That is an improvement
upon former expeditiOns.-Atbany ar
