A TRAVELER. INNAN. Dec. 20,—Georze Renunn, of this city, who some. years ago traveled 8 thonsand nillesor more up the River Lena, at the mouthof which Lieut. De Long.and the survivors of. the crew of the aretic stenmer Jeannette recently landed, says: * Where the Jeannette was lost is 150 miles northeast of tha Island of New Siberla, 309 miles from the nearest part of the Stberl- an inaintand, and a little more than 600 miles from the mouth of the Lenn, It Is probable that Lieut. De Long, after abandoning nis ship, made for the nearest: point on the Sl- berlan const, passing to the eastayard and southward of New Siberian Istand, ond striking the matuiand between the mouth of the Indigirka and the mouth of the Lena, If hereached the coastearly cnotgh In Kummer he ought tu have found QUASIAN AND NATIVE FISHING-STATIONS at the mouth of the-Yana, the Indigirka, and other smaller streams which: fall into tha Aretic Ocean In that vicinity, and) thus hive obtained succor much wearer than the Lena. It ls possible, however, that he «tld not reach the muiniand until after the fishing-stutions had all been abandoned, and the fishermen had retreated up the rivers to thelr winter villages, which, aga rule, are situated sume distance inland, At the mouth of the Lena there Js, L believe, 2 permanent settlement, and this scoms to have been appointed a rendezvous for all the boats. IF THE THIRD BOAT failed to reach the rendezvous agreed upon, the conclusion by no mens follows that It is lost, ‘The crew may have found an intab- {tet station nearer than the mouth of the Lena, or been picked up by a Russtan or nattye fishing-bont, and carried or guided to some ather place of safety. In auch a case, they ight not be heard from .for sw month or more after.tho arrival of the other bouts, The third boat’s crew should not be given up as lost until we have heard from all‘the villages along the Yano and the Indigirka, and ‘from Nini Kolyma, which, ns a pines of refuge, was quite as near and quite as ac- cussible ug the mouth of the Lona, ‘THE RETREAT OF THESE NOATR across 300 miles of the icu-inctimbered Are- tle Sea to the Siberian matnlaud lan renuark- able achlevement, and one which ts parai- teted In Arctio lilstary only by tho retreat of Duroute und his mon from thy northern extrome ity of Novoya Zomblya, aud of the crow of the etibor, frum Franz Josef Land, Tho fuct that Noe Long und hig nen were TUNER MONTHS AT REA AND ON THR ICH IN OPEN OATS : before thoy yeacheil the mouth of tho Lona Is 0 Snot which of itacl€ sola -n mournful story of hardship and suffering, aud one which nivre than gocounta fur the ‘pltiuble’ condition’ in which wo ure told De Long's crow at just arsivel, Tho Jounuette’s crow at tho imouth of the Tuna wont bo wollcarxt for at any Rnslan rettlemont on (ho whole Siberian coust..

THK SHIP. ISTORY OF THE IBANNETEE. The Jennnetie was bullt In the Pembroke dock-yard, in England, In 1804, and christ- ened the Pandora, Before she was sold to Mr. Bennett sho made three -voyages to the Arete regions, the first and second in 1873 aud 1874, to King Willan’s land, and the third, carrying dispatches to the Alert, In Pel’s sound, After she was purelinsed by’ My. Hennott her namo was changed to her present title aaa compliment to tits sistar. She was sailed from the dock in. London by her present comtunnter to the navy-yard of Mave Islant, Catlfornia, where she was Mlted ont for tho present expedition, She is a bark-rleged screw steamer of 420 tons, ear- rying englnes of 800-horya power, nominall#, She ts tong, low, and with a ralcish look, and nobantueh of space tn her interlor Is wasted, Sheis built of Dantzie oak, es- peclally strong in the hull, Mer Moor is sharp and wedge-siaped, so that if caught between ice-itoes the pressure would lft her upon the fee rather than leave her exposed to the danger ot being crushed... [er bow bs solklly filed In, and has an external guard of Iron strans to protect her thmbers when eutting a channel through the ice. On the botiom and bilgesshe is extra planked, and her frames and beams are of the heaviest thnber, HEN MACHINENY was of the most complete charactor, and she carried duplicates of every part. - She fs pro- virted with & complete whaling outtlt, a steam ve whale-bonts, anda folding boat that will carry six men, elght tents Gx) feet In size, a distilling apparatus with a eapaelty of 200 gallons por. diy, Iee-saws powerful ehongh to cut through elght fect of lee, lec pegs, hoops, spades, and knives, At the Mare Islaud Yards a large poop-cabln was built on tho vessel for the nccommodation of the ollicers and .to afford more storage ca- pacity. She was provisioned for three years, and was well suppiled with arms and amit nition. The Jeannette expedition was espe- elally well equipped with scientific Instr ments, which, among other things, embraced neomplete set of photographic apparatus. ‘Two dutndred miles of TELEGRAPIE WIE were carried, with telephones, so that con- stant communication cotld bé kept ap be- tween those on board and exploring parties worlung on and, ‘The expoultion was also pro- vided with au eleotric light of immense power, which was presented by tho juyenter, Edisosi, and which wus expected to bo of yreat service during. the lung Arctic night. Nothing that exe Derlence or solentitte foresight could suggest waa teftuntone to provide for tho safety and comfort of tha members of tho expedition, It wus arranged that a corps of Exqtimuux, with dogs, woul be thken on board at St. Michact, togothor with a number of dugesicds and wale tus-akin boats.
