Esquimaux Joe, in a published statement, speaks in a disapproving way of Captain Bad dington, sailing master of the Polaris, and aeeeeee and that Hall so ex pressed himself to him, so: there was something bad in the coffee which he drank on returning from the sledge expedition; that it made him sick; and that he a burning sensation. STATEMENT OF HANS CHRISTIAN. Hans Christian's statement is to the name effect. J .TYSON'S PARTY ABANDONED. The prevailing impression among the un fortunate nineteen who were left behind was that Buddington had wistfully abandoned them to their fate. He had been anticipating the breaking up of the ice for some time; and if he had wished to have Tyson and his companions on board, he could easily have represented the matter to them : such a light that they would not have ventured to be absent at so critical a juncture. But no such intimation was given to the men on the ice. The vessel did not drift away so suddenly that the men could not have been rescued from the perilous position. Tyson says: “I could have got aboard the vessel that night and been there now, but I would not leave the women and children. My duty was on the ice. I thought he (Captain Buddington] would get back to us next day, which he could have done. The breaking away was caused by the flow to which the ship was fastened drifting in between the land and some icebergs that were jammed. The jam broke up the flow and the vessel broke away. It was about 9 or 10 0 o'clock in the night. The temure was about zero. That evening it had nineteen degrees above,” ’ THE COWARDICE OF BADDINGTON. Captain Tyson thinks the ill feeling and Lad designs of Baddington and a few others who were his accomplices had continued from the firat; on each of Captain Hall's determi nations to go as far north as possible, Bud dington determined (from fear, or whatever cause) that he should not. After Hall's death most of the officers were in favor of continuing and pushing north, and Tyson says Buddington, in general terms, expressed his determination to send them. Tyson and his party, “on the road to hell,” as soon as opportunity offered. He characterized Bud dington as a great scoundrel, and declared that he purposely abandoned them to destruc tion. He gives Myers the character of being ‘ energetic and qualized in his department, but , thinks he was not sufficiently aware of the condition of affairs at the time of separation, and the possibility of getting rescued then, to be able to give any son upon it. The Germans, according his account, ruled the ship after Hall's death, and there was neither law nor system on board, every one working entirely on his own scjount. ESQUIMAUX JOE’s STORY. Joe says, partly in answer to inquiries and partly speaking on his own account without eing interrogated at all: “Very fond of Cap tain . Didn't tel Buddie always talks and back at time.

Buddington, however, persist before concluding to retreat, Hall cas a council, consisting of himself, O tam Tyson, Hester (the mate) and Budd ton, to consider which course was most visible. At this council, Captain Ty strongly advocated Captain Hall's views, urged the impropriety of desisting. The br and right course was overruled, to which cumstance it is possible Captain Hall o his death. If the vessel had continued its course, as Captain Hall desired and urg the expedition would in all probability b been crowned with success, and the diei of geographers would have been resist Bnt an unaccountable timidity, the offset of craven cowardice or en miot annihilated the hopes of Captain LB dington, from the position which he occup was master of the situation. He said, ‘I far have you gone; you shall go no farther; and he was obeyed, reluctantly of course, as matter of necessity. It is impossible to awa ke the motives which prompted Budding. m. From his knowledge of the Arc tic regions, he must have known that it was as dangerous to turn back as to proceed, and that if the vessel was to be frozen in she might as well be frozen in at one place as another. The fact that Captain Tyson supported the views Captain Hall furnishes additional confirmation that the latter was right and Buddington wrong. The blame, if there is blame attend ing the failure of the expedition, will cleave to Buddington, unless he can (if still living) satisfactorily explain what now seems to be his unaccountable conduct. It is not too much to say that his action blasted at the hopes of his superior. Tall and red ap og ad son and aye cir wed on red, aye ws red, ring ive, red. hy HALL'S DESPERATE PERSISTENCE. Although thwarted in his grand designs, the explorer did not abandon his investiga tions, but, in company with the Esquimaux men and the mate, started on a sledge expedi tion, from which he returned to die. The fact is, Hall appears to have been the only one of the scientific department who ventured.
