SIR JOHN FRANKLIN.
Man Who Lost His Life In Efforts to
Find Northwest Passage.

Sir John Franklin, although not the
first OF our Arctic explorers, may fairly
be described as having opened for this
century the chapter OF systematic Arc
tic exploration. Franklin had rem
dered varied and brilliant service to his
country as seaman before he had any
thought of setting out TO discover the
Northwest passage. When still a mere
youth he had fought in the battle Of
Trafalgar, and some ten years later on
he bore gallant part in the attack on
New Orleans. From that time Frank
lin may be said to have given himself
up altogether to Arctic exploration, es-
pecially with view to the discovery
OF the Northwest passage That dis
covery will always be identified with
his name. No chapter in modern his
tory is more touching, more mysterious,
more full of awe. than that which tells
OF Franklin's absolute disappearance
from the eyes of the civilized world
Many of us can still well remember the
untiring efforts made by Franklin's de-
voted wife for the recovery of himself
and his comrades, how she refused to
admit that efforts for his rescue were
futile, how she hoped against hope, and
persevered to the last The writer of
this article had the honor of meeting
her, and Of knowing well some Of the
gallant explorers, DR.. Rae especially.
who went out time after time to the
frozen regions even when they had no
better hope to inspire them than the
hope OF finding Franklin's remains. All
that could be accomplished was accom-
plished in the end, and the world came
to know how and where Franklin and
his comrades had persisted. The Arc
tic explorer has become one of the he
roes of civilization. and is often, as in
Frankin'S case, one of it's martyrs
