CURIOUS BITS
OF HISTORY
ARCTIC ADVENTURE OF THE
SHIP RESOlUTE.
BY A. w. MACY.

In 1845 Sir John Franklin
went In search OF a northwest
passage, with two ships and
1863 men. All were lost In the
frozen regions Of the north.
Many expeditions were sent In
search Of the lost explorers. In
1852 Sir Edward BeIcher con-
Quoted such an expedition, with
five ships under his command.
All five Of the vessels became
lce-bound, and were finally
abandoned. In 1855 the captain
Of an American whaling vessel
sighted a strange looking ship
In Davis Strait. No signals were
put out or answered, and no
crew was visible. The strange
craft was boarded, and was
found to be tho ResoIute, one
Of tho five shlps that had been
abandoned by Sir EDWARD ana
his crew. In some way II had
escaped Its Icy bonds, and had
drlfted southwark moro than a
thousand miles In the 474 days
between Its abandonment and
It's discovery. Some things on
board had been damaged by wa
ter, otherwise the ship was In
fairly good condition. BY a
resolution Of congress $4,000
was spent In putting the vessel
In first-class shape, and II was
then returned to the British
government with tho compll-
ments Of the American people.

AN INVASION THAT DID NOT
TAKE PLACE.

In 1885 the young king Of
France, Charles W., was per
susded by his uncIes, Of whom
he had a good supply, to invade
England, and an army Of 10000
men was assembled In Flanders
for tho purpose. Great prepars-
tlons were made for the expe-
dltIon. Every soldier provided
himself with a plllard, or hired
man to 90 along and collect
plunder for him. An enormous
tent was constructed, which II
would require seventy-two ves-
sells to transport In sections
across the channel. Just what
this tent was for 10 not quite
clear. When all was ready for
the grand start II was found
that tho youthful king was
drunk. When no sobered up he
decided to wait for the arrival
Of ono Of hls uncles. BY the
time the uncle arrived the king
had changed his mind, and con-
cluded not to mako the Invasion
after all. The army dlsbanded
and tho stores which had been
collected were pIundered. Tho
boats upon which the parts Of
tho great tent had been loaded
got away from their moorlnss
and drlfted into the mouth OF
the Thames. The English
seized them, and found tho
great tent useful In a variety OF
ways.
