The Tyson Part:} Abmidoue& on thg; ' Ice by Buddington, Mutiny and Anarchy on Board * s Missing Vessel. - o [Tothe Astociated Pressy " |New Yonw, May 2ti—John Horron, tho stow ard of tho Polaris, makes the following state- | ment concorning “tho sickness of Oapt. Hall: “Qapt. Hall had good hoalth . up to tho time of roturning from his slodge oxpedition. . o was slok whon ho camo on board, but complainéd soon aftorward, and sald thatthe hoat of the oabin affoctod him. Iasked whatho would have,’ I'was anxious-to get him something nice. « Ho dida't onro nbout snything but a cup of coffoo, and dido't drink oven that, Ho was.sick o fortnight, and tslked vorylittle. He was por- feotly delirious during the Inst fow days: -I think: ‘ho, was. paralyzod in one side. Thore was ‘nothing suddon about his death. Ho' was at~ tondod by Dr. Bessells and Mr. ‘Morton, who id everything in thelr powor to alloviate . his sufferings, His death hoa made us-all feol vory sad.” G i 3 % Oapt, Tyeon, spoaking of Oapt. Hall's denth, says: 't Hall was sick fiftoon days. Ho was in- sonsible whon he died. He' started from the ship on tho sledge-oxpedition, northward on the -10th of Octobors Ho was absont fourteen days snd roturned on the 24th-of Octobor to the ehip. On tho 8th of November he diod, and was buried oh tho 11th., -His grave bore south-southeaat, and nbont 500 pacos distant. from the observato- 1y in tho Polarls Bay, which was in latitudo .81 dogroes 80 mihutes, longituds_ 61 dogroon 44 minutes, on shore. Wo oreoted ‘s “board over his gravo, with an in- inscription ivlng his nemo, ago+ (60 yoars), - tho-dato of his death, and tho command of the North Polar Expodi- tion. ANl hands excopt the.cook attondod his fanoral. It was u dark, dlsmal, cold, windy, and disayreeablo dsy. Tho wind was howling mourn- 1ully, oud tho hoarts of all were enveloped in the deopest endnoss, I hold a lantern, and by the Jight of it tho beantiful service of tho Episcopal urch was m’dnhrf Mr. Bryant. - Few of thoso present at the burlal will forgoet the deoply af-" footing scone, Old" eailors, whoso faces hiad been bronzed by summer.suns, and frozen in Arotio sons, wopt slond: Capt. Hall was uni- versally beloved, and his doath, ot = time whon his entorprise promised ‘80 hope- fully, was felt'by his survivors to bo an-irre- trievablo loss, Thomo _thoughta were uppor. mosat in tho minds of all; and” whon tho funeral party rotumnod to the ship thoro was a hushed Eu:no'u attending the ' porformanco of overy uty.” ’ Esquimoaux Joo, in his published statement, spoaks in a disapproving way of Capt. Budding- ton, the sailingmaater of the Polaris, and mays thot Capt. Hali was poisoned, and that Cant. Hall g0 oxprossod himeolf to him (Joo), uaying thera was somothing bad in tho coffee which he drank on roturning from hig'sledgo oxpedition; that it made him sick, and that he had a burning soneation, Hans Obristian's statoment is to the samo effoct, Tho prevailing impression among the unfor- tunate ninctoen who wore loft bohind was that Buddington had willfully abandoned them to their fato, He had:been anticipating tho break- ln‘g up of the ico for ‘some timo, and if he had wished to havo c? . Tyson and his companiona on board, Lo could osily l.\l{"a roprosentod mat- tora to thom in such - light that they would not have ventured to be absént at so critical & func- ture. But no such intimation was given to the men on thoice. The vessel did' not drift away 80 suddonly that the men oould not have been rescucd from their porilous position. Capt. Tyson sags: w1 could bave got oboard the “vessol that night and been there now, but I would not leave the womon and childron, "My duty was on tho. ice. I thought he would "get bdck to us the next day, which he could havedone, The broaking away was oaused by the floe to which the uhls was fastoned. driting in botweon the land anc somo icoberga that wore jammod. The jam broke up the floe, and the vessel broke away. It was about 9 or 10 o'clock at night, and the tomporaturo was at about zoro. That ovening it had beon 19 degrees abovo.” - Oapt. Tyson thinks that the ill-feeling and bad designs of Buddington and a few othera who wore his accompiices had continued from tho first, on sccount of Capt, Hall's determination %0 g0 a8 far north ns possible, and Buddington's dotormination, from foar or whatovor causo, that ho ghould not. After Oapt, Hall's death, most iot tb; ,mgra w:tr‘: lndlEvar“ n{‘yu continu- ng-and pushing north ; and Cap! on_8ays that Buddington seyoral times oxpressed his de- tormination to soud them (Tyson and Lis party) “on the road to hell,"” s soon a5 an opportunlly offered. - He characterizes Buddington as “a groat scoandrel,” and declares. that ho Em-pmly abandoned them to destruction. (0 ~ givos Myers the charaotor of boing onergetio and qual- ified in his duPnnmunt, but thinks that Lo waa not sufliclently awaro of the condition of affairs at tho timo of the eparation and tho possibility of gotting rosoued then to be ablo o give any opinion upon it. The Gormans, according to his acoount, rulod the ship fter Gapt. Hall's doath, and thore was noithor law nor systom on board, overyone working entiroly on his own account, Oapt. Tyson did not sposk fully as to tho doath of Capt.” Hall, = He appeared to ba dooply grioved and reticont upon tho subjects connoct- ed with his sdventures and sufforings. Nodoubt Capt. Tyson and Mr, Myers are in possession of information which they are unwilling to com- municato yot, but which” will doubtless become publio at the proper time. Joe, the Esquimaux tays,—partly in answor to inquirics, and _partly sponking on his own ac- count without being interruptod at all,—that ho was vory fond of Capt. Hall; didn't like Bud- dhlgtan, who was always talking bohind others’ backs. 'Somo men horo (in Bt. Johns) and some in tho ship ueed to quarrel. I went with Capt. all for the purposo of going in a sledga to the North Pole. ~ Aftor Oapt. Hall died Buddington would not go. I told Buddington I camo to go north, He wouldn't lot me go, Buddington and Iquarroled a good doal about it. Iwent with Hall on tho last sled, and Hans and Chester the Mato. Wo went fifty miles north of tho ship on tho jco and Jand ; fouud musk ox tracke on the land. The sun was nearly gone. When we ©camo back to the ship Capt. Hall told mo, when ho was sick, that somebody gave him mome- thing bad. 1o was siok two wooks, Budding- ton “did not tako caro of him, I think it wa not right, It made mo fool bad. Capiain Hall's throat swetlod, aud he could not drink, Ho said ho was burning inside. I sat up with Lim overy night with another man. Hall was in the cablu, Y'talked to Hall much. Ho did not talk to tho othors as muoh se to me. I didu’t see Hall tho firat night aftor he oame abonrd from the sled. X came aboard with bim in tho altornoon, Heo looked well and happy, and spoke pleasantly. Tho four of us, Hall, Clioster, Hang and I had coffee, when we came aboard. I had mino in my own room undornoath tho cabin, and tho two others In the gallery; At 10 o'vlook that night my wife told me thiat Hall was vory sick, and - vomiting. Ho ate somothing tho noxt mn!ulnq. I wont to soe him, ond gaid: ‘What is tho matter?” 1lo 'waa all alone in the cabin, Ho #aid: '* Aro you protey woll, Jooi" I sald, “Yos." Ho_said, ! You drank bad coffee last night." I meaid, ““No.” T asked him did ho drink bad coffco. Ho eaid there was something bad in the caffes ho drank Jast night, mnhlngfiim pickto his stomach, ‘T'ho same morning he beeamo very sick, and was vomiting. After ilvo days hofolt bubter. IIe wroke up and sald Lo wanted to soo my little girl. o unid to o that ho thoughit he would leave hor, but ho didn't 1iko to do so, Aftor he got botlor hio got four medical books, to try and sce what made him sick, , 1o studiod hard, and ssid to me, polnting toalino in ihe book, *That made me sick,” It was something about Bod§ wan walching ono anothér; 1'dld not un- doratand \rhat they moant.

Tho’ brave and the . right causo was overruled, : to . which olroumatauce, it s possiblo, Capt.. Hall owed his “doenth. It tho ‘vomsel had continued on its course as Capt.

The faot that Uapt. Tyson supported {lo viows of Capt, Hall furnishes ad- ditional confirmation that the lattor was right and Buddington'wrong.
