greatly overrated their strength, and the
distance they could travel in given time.


Taking this view of the case, we can un-
derstand why their provisions would not
last them for anything like the distance
they required 20 travel and they would
be obliged to send back to the slips for
more, first taking from the detached party
all the provisions they could possibly spare.
Whether all, or any Of this detached party
ever reached their ship, is uncertain; all
we know is, that they did not revisit the
boat, and which accounts for the absence
of more skeletons in its neighborhood !;
and the Esquimaux report that there was
no one alive in the ship when she driftsd
on shore, and that but one human body
@as found by them Oh board of her.


After leaving the boat we followed an
irregular coast line to the n. and N. w.,
up to very prominent cape, which is
probably the extreme Of land seen from
Point Victoria by Sir James Ross, and
named by him, Point Franklin, which
name as cape, it still retains.

whole journey along the shores King Will

FREE NEGRoEs.-The free negroes who

sas are eu1uiring where they are to go
There they were doing very well, the acts
of the abolitiohists have forced the State to
send them away, and now they make an
appeal for a place where they may live and
breathe. Indiana, Illinois and Oregon
refuses them, Minnesota turns a cold shoul-
der towards them. Where are they to go?
This is only the beginning Of their expul-
sions, and it is probable that year after
year, free State after free State will dis
conntenance them.


Not being slaves, they can get no coun-
tenance from abolitionists, and they begin
to think the time will soon come when
they will be allowed no resting place in all
this vast country. And in our opinion
they are about rig ght.-Milac1 ukee News.
