TIIE LAST EXPEDITION OF CHARLES FRANCIS HALL. 775 



Polaris and her crew at or near Northumberland Island, another year must pass 

 before we can know more than we now know of the results of Hall's last expedition. 

 Till then it is right and just that judgment should be suspended as to the real cause 

 of the death of Hall, and the conduct of those who after that event had command in 

 the expedition. 



Thus rests the matter in the closing days of July, 1873.
