an officer came TO this city from Mare-lslsnd

out what measures the owners OF the
whaling vessels now In the Arctic ice pack
thought should be adopted. He met also
several whaling captains, and the general
opinion was that the Government should
send as many vessels north as can possibly
be ftted out, as one might be able TO give
aid where Others could not. Commodore
Belknap has taken kindly to this, aud will
telegraph a report to Washington In its
favor. There are three vessels which can
be made ready for sea in time for effective
service. One Is She man-of-war VandalIa,
which Is the fastest Of the lot. She Is Ia
