charts Of the frozen regions visited and
much novel information, but without
having found the passage.
During Parry's absence on his third
voyage Captain (afterward SIR John
Franklin had made an overland journey
from the west to Point Turnagain, and
Captain George F. Lyon, who had been
with Parry on his second voyage, was
sent with the Griper'to meet Franklin,
the route lying through Hudson bay.
This venture was a complete failure.
The Passage was not found, and, worse
vet, little or no exploration was accom-
pIished either. This was largely because
Lyons party got 80 near the magnetic
pole that their compasses were rendered
useless. Beechey's voyage of three
years. begun III 1925, added little TO the
knowledge already possessed Of the Arc
tic In fact. BCechey, who went north
via the Pacific, devoted far more time
20 the islands Of that vast ocean than 70
northern exploration.
In 1927 Sir John Ross, who was
greatly interested in the inscrutable
problem, induced Mr.. Felix Booth, one
Of the sheriffs of London, to contribute
to the outfitting of an expedition which
should be sent north without govern
ment aid or supervision. This expedi
tiOn sailed en- a steamer of 50 tons, the
Victory, on May %, 1929, and its mem
bers did not return 10 England again
until 1888, having abandoned their
steamer in 1892 after suffering severe
hardships. They We're picked up near
the western shore of Baffin's bay by q
whaleship. No progress so far as TO tn
discovery Of the northwest passage wa,
made, but the true position of the mag
netic pole was found, and that was o.
great scientific importance.
In 1915 the Sir John Franklin ex-
petition, 1919 strong, and with two
ships, the Terror and the Erebus, was
sent north. Sir John was then in his
SEVENTEEN year, but he did not shrink III
the slightest from his mission. He had
two excellent officers under him, Com
mander James FitZjames, in charge Of
the Erebus, and Captain L. r. NJ
CroZier, in charge of the Terror, while
the Quitting and provisioning of the
expedition was for an absence of three
years, and i'll every way greatly su-
perior TO the oatfitting and provisioning
or any previous northern party. Not
withstanding all this, no member of Sir
John Franklin's party was ever seen
alive after their departure. In 1S47 the
anxiety felt by the entire civilized
world for their safety became so great
that it was decided to send relief expe-
ditions after them, and in 1848 three
such search parties started out. Sir
James Clarke Ross had charge of one of
these, Sir John Richardson of another
and Captain Henry Skellett of the third

TOWING THROUGH THE ICE, 1900.
From Gerrit de Veer's ''Vraye Description y
None of them, nor of any of two or
three overland parties, succeeded in
finding any traces Of the missing Sir
John or his men.
In 1850 ten vessels in seven expedi
lions went in further search, but there
is not space at command to speak in de-
tail of the men who commanded them,
tine ships they sailed or the hardships
they suffered. The latter were many
and trying, and more than one of the
vessels and many human lives were lost.
One of the parties, headed by Captain
Robert l.. Mcclure, who went from the
Pacific, pushed far enough east to con-
meet his discoveries with those of Parry
made 80 years before. Thus the passage
was found at last, but it was an empty
discovery, after all, for it is closed so
much of the time every year (and often
all the year round) by ice as TO be un-
available commercially. In fact, Nc
Clure himself had TO abandon his ship,
the Investigator, and escape with his
men rs best ne could.
Some of these expeditions found traces
OF Franklin, and several of them made
important additions TO the maps of the
arctic regions, but it was not till 1859
that the fate of the brave old English
man and his men was fully determined.
The expedition that succeeded in per
forming this service was headed by Cap
tain L. l.. McClintoch, who sailed ON
the steam yacht Fox. The expense of
this expedition was borne partly by the
British government and partly by Lady
Franklin. Several boats and the skele-
tons of number of the men were dis
covered, and Eskimos who saw them
when alive We're talked with. Accord
ing to the testimony of the latter, the
poor fellows fell IN their tracks as they
We're walking over the snow and ice and
died. \ complete written history of
their adventures and hardships to April
%, 1S4S, was also found Franklin him
self died June II, 1S47, but when the
history was written there We're still 105
survivors.
No mention has been made here of
the heroic and valuable arctic work
done by Grinnell and Kane, Americans,
and scores of Englishmen during the
years that were devoted to the search
for Franklin, nor is there space for moro
than this brief allusion. Since then Dr..
Hayes, De Long, Greedy and later
northern voyagers have penetrated far
Their north than any of the earlier ex
plorers, and now, rs all readers of news
papers know, several expeditions are at
the north. They are all striving for the
pole as their predecessors strove for the
passage, and some of them may win ont
this year. Who knows?
Their vessels are far better equipped
than Were the early ones. All are fur
uished with steam power, and their sup
plies are greatly superior. Some idea OF
the ships that went north ii the seven
tcenth century may be obtained from
the accompanying cut from an ancleu,

location, but there is no great CONNER
cial motive at all, whereas the early
voyagers within the northern circle Of
frost all went seeking for that elusive
northwest water passage across North
America, through which ships, once it
were discovered, would be able, it was
thought, to sail from European to Asiat-
&c coasts, to the great saving Of time and
money.
Luke Fox and Thomas James were
among the first searchers for the pas
sage. They accomplished nothing OF
course. and little was done for nearly or
quite 200 years after their failure. In
1746 there were feeble efforts at expIora-
ton of the territory adjacent to Hud-
son bay, and in 1853 schooner of
about go tons was fitted out in Philadel
phia, principally through the efforts of
Benjamin Franklin, for the purpose of
finding what others had failed to locate.
The expedition accomplished nothing
Twenty-Five years later, in 1875,
James Cook, the famous Captain Cook,
made a northern venture. his ships be-
ing the Resolution and the Discovery.
The latter vessel was commanded by
Captain Charles Clarke. They approach
ed the arctic problem via Boring
strait, but as they entered the polar sea
late in the season soon retraced their
course for fear of being frozen in. 1t
was but few months later that Cook
was murdered at the Sandwich Islands.
For about 40 years after Cooks attempt
little or nothing more was done in the
way of northern exploration. Then, in
1919 the secretary of the British adj
miralty, Mr.. (afterward Sir John Bar
row, succeeded III persuading the British
government to fit out an expedition of
two ships They were the Isabella, COM
manded by Captain John Ross, and the
Alexander, commanded by Lieutenant
W. E Parry. The party numbered 81
men all told. and high hopes We're en-
tertained for its success. After an alb
sence of but seven months the two ships
returned, having accomplished rather
less than nothing in the way of explora-
tion, though Captain Ross had been dill
gent and faithful in the taking of AS
Economical and other observations.
The next year Lieutenant Parry went
north with two ships. the Hecla and the
Griper, and exactly the same number of
men that had been in the Ross party.
They were away y years and got TO
Melville island, the farthest western
point that had been reached This en-
titled the officers and crew TO prize
money amounting to about So, 600. The
winter passed in the ice by Parry's par
ty was long and tedious, but was neatly
relieved by the ingenuity of the officers,

Second Reqimsnt School of instruction.

Col. Phlbrook of the Second Regiment
has perfected his arrangements for the
school of instruction which is to be held in
Lewiston April II and IL. There will be
three sessions of the school, the first in the
afternoon Of the ] It'll and two on the 18th.
The city has granted the use Of the City

Lieut., Fred t. Clayton of Boston, will have
paper on military courtesy. Lieut.
Clayton is of the Massachusetts militia,
bling on the staff of the LIST
Battalion Of Light Artillery. He is also
an adiutant in the Ancient and Honorable

Among other papers that will be read at
the school will be one by Maj. f. +. New
comb on policing of camp quarters and
Mmories; one by Maj. Fuller, surgeon, on
work pertaining to the medical department
OF the regiment; one by Adjatant Sprague
on making and forwarding papers and com
missions, one by Quartermaster Robinson
on the work Of the quartermaster as per
tanning to the regiment. Inspector General
Choate and Ride Inspector Harrington viii
also have papers.
Col. philbrook has received requests
from citizens to be present at the exercises,
but the occasion will be one when criticisms
will be freely made by the officers and
other features of the work will be such that
he feels that it will be disadvantage to
have outsiders present.
