FRANKLIN EXPEDITION
DOCUMENTS DISCOVERED
HOPE FOR LIGHT ON ARCTIC
TRAGEDY
British Official Wiroless.
RUGBY, 15th September.
Major Burwash, the Canadian explorer and observer, who in the course of an aerial survey of the North Magnetic Pole, and an hitherto unexplored Aretice coast line, found traces of Sir John Franklin's expedition, which disappeared S3 years ago. Ho has sent back several relies, but he is retaining the documents found to prepare a report thereon for the Canadian Government.
It is hoped that theso documents may contain some of Franklin's records regarding his search for the North-West Passage. Franklia's two vessels, the Erebus and Terror, were abandoned in 1840, and no member of his party ever returned, all, it is assumed, dying from starvation or disease.
