PAGE EIGHT -~ THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1930 Hope to Solve Fate of Famous Franklin Expedition (By Canadian Press Leased Wire) Ottawa, Ont., Feb, 21--For over {hree-quarters of a century the fate of Sir John Franklin, and. of the 128 officers apd mén of his ex- pedition, has been wrapped in mys- tery. Events of the past few months have given rise to. the hope that additional light may be shed upon the details of that heroic adven- ture, by the aid of documents and sketches which Hon, Charles Stew- art, Minister of the Interior, has acquired for the use of the North West Territories and Yukon Branch. , sir John Iranklin's expedition sailed into the Arctic in 1845 in :he two ships, Erebus and Terror. The ships were seen by a whaler near the entrance: to Lancaster sound on Juiy 26 in that year and from that time neither the ships nor any members of their crews were seen again by white men, In 1854 Dr. John Rae, an officer of the Hudson Bay Company. found v band of E 108 wilo said they pad seen white men travelling southward along the shore of King William island and that these men aad all died, In 1859 Captain Leo- pold M'Clintock found in a eairn at Victory point, near the north- west angle of King William island, a printed Admiralty form on the margin of which was written, over he siznatures of Captains Crozier and Fitzjames, the commanders of the two ships, a few terse but ex- oressive sentences, These conveyed the information that Sir John Franklin had died on June 11, 1847. that eight other officers and 15 men "had died, that the ships had Leen abondoned, and that the remainder of the expedition, 105 persons in all, would start the fol- owing morning (April 26, 1848) for Black River on the mainland. Although many other expeditions nave sought for ¥ranklin this is the only record that has been found of the ill-fated party. It has always been held by au thorities on exploration that portant records of the enpedition must have been deposited by the survivors beore the effort to reach civilization by way of Back river was begun, and that the most pro im- | terior would not at this late, date, be justified in equipping and send- ing out an expedition to search for the grave of Sir John Franklin but with the development of Canada's northland, departmental oflicers concerned with the care of the na- tive population, are coutinually patroiling through that portion of the Aretie and it would be an in- expensive matter for them to de- vote a little time to searching for records which would be of the greatest value to Canada and to the Empire, Therefore, when a short time ago, Hon. Charles Stew- art was appraised that documents were in existence which purported fo giye the location of Franklin's grave, he directed that the matter be carefully investigated, and as a result the papers and maps have been purchased for the Department, Tie papers consist of a lengthy manuscript accompanied by maps prepared, many years ago, from the statements of a member of the es- pedition spent the period from 1564 to 1869 in the north engaged in 4he search from Franklin, Ac- cording to the statement Hall's expedition "broke up in disorder tliat account this valuable mation. was lost to the head of the expedition. | For Your Drug Needs | THOMPSON'S -- We | 10 Simcoe St. S.
