The Secretary of the Navy yesterday trans- mitted to the President the report of the board of inquiry recently engaged in investigating the Polaris disaster. In his letter transmitting the Teport the Secretary says relative to THB CHARGES AGAINST CAPT. BUDDINGTON that he feels great reluctance in publishing the pe asap him while he is absent in the discharge of a dangerous and responsible bevy but that he is constrained to believe that it better for him and will be more satisfactory to his. friends, as well as to the friends of those stil on board the Polaris, that they should be ublished as they were given. It must however, fe clearly understood that in permitting this publication the department neither make nor declare and judgment against Mr. Buddington, who is stil absent in the miist of dangers, and has no opportunity for explanation. The facts show that though he was perhaps wanting in enthusiasm for the grand objects of the expedi- tion, and at times grossly lax in discipline, and though he differed In judgment from others as to the possibility, safety and propriety of tak- ing the ship further north, yet he is an experi- enced and careful navigator, and, when not affected by liquor, of which’ there remained none on board at the time of the separation, a sate and competent com % THE SKARCH POR THE POLARIS. In reference to the proposed expedition to look for the Polaris, he says it will be purely naval, experience = confirmed him in the conviction that there is little of either success or safety in any trying, dangerous and distant expedition which is not organized, prosecuted and controlled under the sanction of military discipline. THE REPORT OF THE COMMISSION, which consisted of the Secretary of the Navy, Prot. S. F. Baird, Commodore Wm. Reynolds, and Acting Signal Ofticer H, W. Howgate, details the course of the Polaris and the various difficulties she encountered before her separa- tion trom Tyson's ice-floe party. In regard to the separation the commission say: “It ts the uniform opinion of the witnesses, aud our uuan imous conclusion from -their testimony and from the circumstances detailed, that this sep- aration of the ship from the men, women and children upon the ice floe was purely acci- dental.” They add, however, that « it'is most likely the ice-tlve ‘p was seen from the Polatis. The hut erected on'the tive, the ship's boats, the colors, the elevated signal blanket, and the group of nineteen persons standing in relief against a white back grouud, could scarcely have remained unnoticed.”” OF THE DEATH OF CAPT. HALL the commission say that his most marked symp- toms seem, from the evidence, te have been such as indieated congestion of the brain, ac- companied by deliriam a: one si The witnesses al t: wi some of them tael called “apoplexy,” speak of their own know of his paralysis and delitiam. He re ver, alter some days, sufficiently is bed, to move s cabin a liitle nid to atter “pt to at- to busin , but soon had a resapse, be- again *, and died on the sthof November, 1 From personal examination of all the witnesses, and from their testimony as given, we reach the unanimous conclusion that the desth of Capt. Hall resulted naturally from disease, witheut fanit on the part of a one. During his illness he was under the medi- cal care of Dr. Bessels, and as none of the per- sons now bere are capanie of giving a more par- ticular account of the nature and symptoms of this fatal sickness, the return of the Polaris mnst be awaited for precise information. All the persons examined testify te the uniform kindness and care of Captain Hall, and to the good order and efficient condition of the Polaris waile under his command. SCIENTIFIC RESULTS. From the testimony it appears that every = opportunity was embraced by the mem- ers of the scientitic corps of the expedition to carry out the instructionajgiven, the only direc- tion in which there seems to have been a par- tial faiture being in reference to the use of the hotographie apparatus and the dredge. This, fowever was due to the absence suitable opportunities or to some insurmountable imped- iment at the time. White the records of the astronomical, me- teorological, magnetical, tidal, and other phys- ical departments of the’ expedition appear to have been extremely fult, and the observations in each appear to have been conducted accord- ing to approved methods, the collections of nat- ural history are shown to have been not less extensive, the storeroomsef the Polaris being filled with the sking and skeletons of musk, oxen, bears, and other animals, different spe cies of birds and their eggs, numerous marine myertebrates, plants, both recent and fossil, minerals, ete. Not the least interesting of thexe collections are specimens of drift wood, picked upon or near the shores of Newman’s bay and Polaris bay, among which Mr. Meyer thought he recognized distinctly the walnut, the asl, and the pine. DIP OF THE NEEDLE. Among the numerous facts that appear to be shown by the testimony €licited on the exami- nation we may mention as one of much interest that the dip of the needle amounted to 45 de- es, and its deviation to 96 degrees, being less than at Port Foulke and Rensalaer harbor, as given by Dr. Kane and Dr. Hayes. Auroras were frequent but by no means bril- ant, generally quite light, and consisting sometimes of one arch and sometimes of several. Streamers were quite rare. Qaly in one in- stance, in February, 1872, did THE AURORA appear of a distinct rosy red. This was fore- jed in the morning from 8 to 10 o'clock by a very decided disturbance of the magnetic needle. Shooting stars were so constantly seen that although no speelal shower was observed it was scarcely possible even to look at the star- lit sky without noticing them in one direction or another. ‘TIDES, TEMPERATURE, ETC. The rise and tall of the tides were carefully observed, the average being5x feet. The great- est depth of water noted was about 106 fath oms. The existence of a constant current south- ward was noticed by the expedition, its rapidi- ty varying with the season and locality. ‘The winter temperature was found to be mach milder than was expected, the minimam being 58 deg. in January, although March proved to be the coldest month. The prevailing winds were from the northeast, although there were occasionally violent tempests from the south- west. Liglt was nol », however, from all points of the compass, Kain was occasionally observed, only on the land, however, the preei- itation presenting itself over the ice in the form of spow. During the summer the extent of both lowlands and elevations were bire of snow aud ice, rec J patches here and there in the shade ot the » The soil during this period was covered with a more or less deuse vegetation of moss, with which several AROTIO PLANTS were interspersed, some of them of considerable beauty, but entirely without scent, and miny small willows, scarcely reaching the dignity of shrubs. The rocks noticed were of @ schistose or slate nature, and in some instances con- tained fossil plants, specimens of which were collected. Distinct evidence of former glaciers were seen in localities now bare of ice, these indications cpnsisting in the occurrence of ‘terminal and lateral moraines. ANIMAL LIFE IX THE POLAR REGIONS.

The western shore of these straits, ports of Grinnell Land, ‘ortheast of Cape Lupton, latitude 81 deep inlet, which Capt: fatl called Newman's bay, naming its north- ern point Cape Brevoort, and its southern bluff Sumner headland.

From an elevation of 1,700 feet at Repulse harbor, on the east side os Robe onstraits, the land con- tinues northeast to the end of these straits, and thence east and southeast, until lost in the dis- tance, its vanishing point bearing south of east from the place of observation. No other land was visible to the northeast, but land was seen on the west coast, extending north as far as the eye could reach, and apparently terminating in a head land near latitude 54° north. Mr. Meyer also states that directly to the north he observed, on a bright day, from the elevation mentioned, ‘a line apparently circutar in form, which was ‘thought by other obserwers to be the land, but which he supposed to indicate open ter. The report closed by saying of THR RESULTS OF TRE EXPLORATIONS, that besides ascertaining urately the conti- tion and extent of what was before supposed to be an open Polar sea, discovering the southern ford to the southeast and Robespn straits to the north, with another wide expanse of water be- youd it, and extending by examination and Survey coast line on the east to latitude 82’ 9 N., and by observation somewhat further, pro- longing the west coast to the northward, and reaching with the Polaris under steam the high latitade of 82° 16’ north, a point far beyond the limits of all previous navigation towards the pole, errors in the shore line of the west coast, ag laid down by Dr. Hayes, and also errors in the shore line of Greenland, as laid down by Dr. Kane, were observed and corrected. Of course the full scientific results of the Polaris cannot be known until that yessel shall have been found an® brought back with the treasures she hag gathered and the records and detalls of ber Arctic explorations. But enough is told by the witnesses to excite expectation and encourage the hope of large and valuable additions domain of human knowled accompanied by of the Polaris, executed by Mr. F of the ice-tioe party. CAPT. HALLS LAST DISPATCH ie dated Cape Brevoort, north side entrance to Its southern Newman s Bay, lat. 52 deg. 3 min. north, long 61 deg. 20 min. west, October 20, 1873. Captain Hall says up to that time everybody was we and all had high hopes of accomplishing their great mission. He says the country was mucii warmer than they had expected to find, and that it abounds with seals, game, geese, ducks, musk cattle, rabbits, wolves, foxes, bears, par~ tridges, lemming, XC. TYSON’S TESTIMONY. Capt. Tyson was examined af great length by thes Hi that before the Po- Inris sailed, trered him the position of sailing-master, but that subsequently he se. cured the services of Buddington, for the rea son that Tyson declined the appolutment. He heard that Capt. H. was sick about an hour af. ter his return from h. ‘Tyson suggested an emetic, and Hall said he was bil- ious. In les» than twenty-four hours be became delirious. After he had been sick seven or eight days, he got better; he talked rationally, and went to writing about his business. But he still appeared to be thinking on one subject; he thought some one was going to injure him; he was very suspicious; he seemed to think some- body was going to poison him. In his first de- lurium he accused about everybody; he accused See Buddington and the doctor ot trying to do him an injury, but when he was up and ap- peared rational he did not say anything to me about it, but he was very particular what he He had a clerk there, Mauch. I believ: he would make him taste all the food or or medicine that he took. Capt. Buddington came te him at night and told him CAPTAIN HALL WAS DYING. Went inthe cabin and found Hall lying on his face in the berth insensible. Hisface appeared to be buried in his pillow. and he was breathing heavy, and so be died. He never said a word: had no sane moments before his death. Before his death there had been some little difficpity between Captain Buddington and himself. [t was before he started on ark, Captain Hall was about suspending Captain Baddington from duty, but he passed itover. The difficulty war Buddington’s foul language about the ship, and his benim arything he could lay his hands ofthe provisions or liquors about the ship. Captain Hall said he was going to put him off duty, and asked Tyson what he thought of it. Tyson objected, as he thought it would be breaking up the ship’s company at au carly Je. CAPTAIN HALL AND THE DOCTOR did not get along very well. The dector never had any words with him, however. Captain Hall was sometimes a little stern with the doc tor, and did not think the doctor was qualuied for his position; he said so, but Tyson thinks the doctor cid not have any words with him. AFTER BUDDINGTON TOOK COMMAND he said be would be d——d if anybody should do anything, but he allowed Tyson to attempt an expedition with the boats. Buddington was frequently drunk onalcohol, which he got from Dr. Besse}'s stores. The doctor once “laid for him” and caught him stealing the alcohol, aud they had quite a tussle over it. He believes Bu iy oy saw them on the ice floe, and when he saw Polaris in safety knew they were about to be abandoned y the vessel. Before Capt. Hall left the ship for his sledge journey he said to Tyson, referring to Buddington, «1 cannot trust that man. I want to go on a sledge journey, and 1 want you to go with me, but I don’t Know how to leave him on the ship. I want to fe on this sledge journey, and I want to Teach a higher latitude m Perry did before my return.” Tyson understood that many of CAPT. HALL’S PAPERS WERE BURNED, Det could rot aay eho did it. He wegested two Bugdington that the papers ought to boxed and sealed, and Buddington replied, “Damn his papers.” Subsequently Buddington told him that while Hall was delirious he (B.) got him to burn his papers. Buddington said he was glad they were burned, because they con- tained much against him. Capt. Tyson further testified, in relation to Capt. Hall’s death, that Dr. Bessel said his disease was apoplexy.’ The doctor gave him his medicine, and at times he strongly objected to taking it; at other times he was yery cocile. Tyson thought at the time that Capt. Hall came to his death naturally: it was talked on board the ship that it was foul. Capt. Buddington rejoized in hisdeath, he (Tyson) believed that it relieved some of the scientific party of some anxiety. Capt.
