It appears that the project of Captain Hall, the Arctic

ex- plorer, who is now searching for Captain Crozier, is to live among the Innuits if necessary for years, to accompany them in their annual migrations, and to spread everywhere among the tribes de- scriptions of the men of whom he is in search. In fact he has devoted his life entirely to the work, which, if it produces no other result, will give the world a complete knowledge of one of the most secluded of tribes. The impression among the Innuits is that Captain Crozier is not dead, but it is difficult to suppose that an educated white man who for ten years has supposed himself abandoned in those desolate regions can have survived the mental strain.
