"Died As They Walked."

The tragely which overtook the Expedition, together Franklin with the mystery of their disap pearance, which baffled the world for years and is not yet entirely explained, forms one of the most dramatic episodes in Arctic his- tory.

In 1845 Sir John Franklin was appointed to the command of the expedition, which consisted of the Erebus and Terror, with 134 chosen officers and men. The vessels sailed from Greenhithe on May 19, 1845, and were last seen on July 26 by a whaler in Baffin Bay.

No tidings of the expedition' having reached England, as many as 15 expeditions were dispatched between 1848 and 1854, with the object of rescuing the missing ex- plorers. An exploring party in the yacht Fox, purchased and fitted out by Lady Franklin, and under Captain (afterwards Sir) L. McClintock, found many, relies of the Franklin Expedition among the Eskimos, while skeletons found along the coast told a tér- rible tale of disaster.

Record in Cairn.

A record found in a cairn at Point Victory, told the history of the expedition down to April 25, 1848. An addition in the hand- writing of Captain Fitzjumes, dated April 25, 1848, narrated that the Erebus and Terror were, de- serted on April 22, having been beset in the ice since September 12, 1846; and that Franklin died on June 11, 1847.

An Eskimo woman told McClin- tock n story of having seen 40 sur- vivara of the ill-fated expedition late în 1848.
