Abstract
AFTER the horrors of the Jeannette expedition, every one will be relieved to learn that on Sunday Mr. Leigh Smith and all his men were safely landed at Aberdeen in the Hope, under the care of Sir Allen Young. Sir Allen has not been long in attaining the object for which he set out, although the safety of the Eira expedition would have been secured, even had no help been sent from England, for when they reached Matotschkin Schar, they found both the Willem Barents and a Russian vessel. The scientific results of the expedition, we regret to say, are almost nil.
