considerable anxiety, but there was no long disturbance.

At the beginning of the month of March the ice reached Cumberland Gulf,
and on the 11th of that month it broke up with direful noises, leaving
the whole party on a small piece, which being fortunately very thick
continued its journey southward very gently.  Seals were now captured in
abundance.  One of the Esquimaux also shot a bear.  Then the floe was
quitted, and the pack ice reached.  After that things became worse.  A
gale arose and blew away their tent and bedding, and unless they had all
clung to the boat it would have been lost also.  They saved it, but
remained without shelter, half-frozen and in danger of starvation.  At
the end of April three steamers successively appeared, but although the
castaways did all they could to attract attention they were not
perceived until on the 30th another "steam sealer," the _Tigress_, of
Newfoundland, appeared and rescued them from their perilous position.
They were all landed at Saint John's on the 12th of May.

Meanwhile, as the _Polaris_ had not appeared, the _Tigress_ was
commissioned by Captain Green, U.S.N., to seek her.  She steamed up to
Littleton Island, where an encampment of Esquimaux was discovered.  The
men were wearing clothing obtained from the _Polaris_, but after search
and inquiry no after trace of the crew could be obtained, so Captain
Green returned to Saint John's.  They reached New York afterwards, and
heard that Buddington and his crew had been picked up by a whaler some
months before.

The ill-fated _Polaris_ had been abandoned in latitude 78 degrees 23
minutes North, and 73 degrees 21 minutes West.  She had been rendered
almost useless by the ice, and the Esquimaux were presented with the
hull; but she foundered.  The crew encamped during the winter, and in
the summer they sailed down to Cape York, where they met the ice.  But
