vatc Connell. They were found by the
relief ships, Thetis and Bear, five milts
ou Cane Sabine in Smith Sound. Ser
geant Ellison was very badly Irost bit
ten, and died at Gort haven, July Ctli,
undergoing Burgical operation. The
relief ihips, Thetis and Bear, with the
survivors are now at St. Johns, New
Foundland.
St. Johns, N. F. July 17.
To the Hon. II. B. Chandler, secretary
of the navy. Washington :
The Thetis, Bear, and Luck Garry
arrived here today from West Green
land. All were separated from the
Alert 150 miles north during a gale.
At 9 p. m. June 22d, five miles off Cape
Sabine, in Smith's sound, the Thetis
and Bear rescued alive Lieutenant A.
W. Greely, Sergeant Brainaid, Ser
geant Frederick, Sergeant Long, Hos
pital steward Beidenbcck, Private Con
nell and Sergeant Ellison, the only sur
vivors of the Franklin Bay expedition
Sergeant Ellison had lost both hands
by frost bite, and died July Cth ;at
Godhaven, three days after the ampu
tation, which had become imperative.
Seventeen of the twenty five compos'
ing the expedition perished by starva
tion at the point where found. One
was drowned while seeking to procure
food. Twelve bodies ot the dead were
rescued and are now on board the The
tis andJBear. One Eskimos, Turned
like, was buried at Disco, m accord
ance with the desire of the inspector of
Western Greenland. Five bodies- bur
ied in the ice near the camp were car
ried away to sea by the winda and cur
rents before my arrival and could not
be recovered.
THE LIEUTENANT INTERVIEWED.
St. Johns N. F., July 17.On the ar
rival at anchorage of the relief squad
ron today, an Associated Press corre
spondent interviewed Lieutenant Grce
ly and the other survivors of the Arctic
colons. The following facts were dis
closed :
After passing two winters at Fort
Congor in scientific research, Lleuten-
antGreely with his whole party broke
up encampment and commenced a
southern descent. On the 29th of Sep
tember winter quarters were establish.
ed at Cape Sabine. The commissariat
had become very meagre and the cache
ot provisions left by the Proteus lat
but poorly supplemented it.
The first havoc in the ranks occurred
early in January, when one of the men
dropped off with scurvy. On the 9th
of April Lieutenant Lock wood and
William Rice, the photographer, suc
cumbed after an heroic attempt to se
cure for their starving comrades about
200 pounds of meat supposed to be
cached at a place named Bad Creek,
distant fifteen miles lrom the encamp
ment. Israel, the astronomer, perished
May 27. Lieutenaat Kishlingburg
died June 1, and Dr. Pavf; the ratur
alht, slept in death June 26. Not one
of the victims realized that death was
near. Two Eskimos also perished, one
of starvation and the other was drowned
by his koyak being pierced by some
newly formed ice April 17, thus cut
ting off all hope of getting any supply
of seal meat for the explorers. The
Eskimos were most faithfuland devot
ed followers and helpers of Lieutenant
Greely. Ellison was rescued and
safely brought on board the steamship
Bear, where he died a few days subse
quently. This is an extraordinary in
stance of human endurance. While
away some ten miles from his hut
last winter the temperature suddenly
fell to 48 degrees below zero. His
hands and feet were frozen to the very
bone, and ho was dragged by his com
rades ia an almost dying condition to
his hut his feet and hands were liter
ally amputated by incisive frost, and
in this troubled state he lived through
the dismal months tbaf intervened be
tween that time and when rescued.
The bodies of twelve of the victims
have been brought up by the steam
ers Bear and Thetis embalmed in tanks
filled with alcohol. The survivors are
all 'doing well and rapidly gaining
flesh and strength.
Lieutenant Greely, who was in an
exceedingly critical condition when first
transferred to the Thetis, is now able
out for an hour's ride to get the coun
try air and came back quite resuscitat
ed. The rescue took place on the 22d
of June under circumstances of great
difficulty. The Thetis and Bear lay off
lrom shore about 300 yards. There
was terrific gale blowing from the
south-west, a heavy sea was running,
and a formidable ice nip was apparent
ly inevitable. Lieutenaut Greely and
the oher six survivors had to be trans
ferred from their camp to the steam
launch and whale boat in their sleeping
bags, and while steaming from the
land to the ships destruction of the
whole party at one time seemed cer
tain. The sea swept furiously over
them and the fury of the wind threat
ened to capsize them. At length they
were safely placed on board the rescu
ing squadron, where every possible
preparation was made to insure their
recovery and comfort. The Greely
party reached a higher latitude than
was ever reached by Polar explorers.
