She tolled night and day to collect funds. And at last she was able to fit out a search-party on her own account, A vessel sailed from Aberdeen and. took up the hunt where the Government searchers had left off. After a long and heart-breakingly tedious quest, a cairn (pile of rocks) was found on Point Victory, under which was a full record of the Franklin tragedy. This record had been written by officers who had managed’ te crawl to the Point. It told of the wintering of the Terror and Erebus at Beachey Island after an ascent of Wellington Channel to latitude 77 de- grees, and of the tce pack’s barring them from the American coast, The record went on to describe the ships’ imprisonment in the ice-for more than a year (latitude 69° 37’ 42", longitude 98° 41° west), and the ‘iadedaaabio: death of Sir John Franklin in June, 1847, It described @ survivors’ futile effort to avoid death by makin The Mretery F thelr way across the ice floes, le Si Sax P32. _ The whole party, even the record's authors, had soon weer? * or inte perished.

Sir John replied half heartedly that day to the cheers and gga of the crowd. Perhaps because he had a premonition of his fate; probably because the wife he loved had just quarreled bitterly with and had refused to come to the quay to see him off. In later yoars Lady Franklin was to atone right nobly for her fit of childish temper. In those days the “Northwest Passage” was as much the goal of.ex- Plorers’ dreams as afterward was the North Pole. And many a daring man had lost his fife in search for it.
