314 CONCLUSION. 



The relics we have brought home have been deposited by 

 the Admiralty in the Museum of the United Service Insti- 

 tution, and now form a national memento — the most simple 

 and most touching — of those heroic men who perished in 

 the path of duty, but not until they had achieved the 

 grand object of their voyage — the Discovery of the North- 

 West Passage.
