uly. and for the first time, before a Commission appointed to examine, upon oath. into the whole matter. But what « ¢}
lic? avd what are the sateguarads tia
passengers have right to expect in making this passage? Now ci all times is the time to speak out, aud boldly, if neglect of duty, cowardice, aud cruelty are attributable to those who, for hire carry passengers across the Straits. Our common humanity at least is i arasted in ascertaining if brutal selfishness on
of the crew has caused the
the part
suffering —perhaps the death — of passen- gers committed to their car Rumors of such tate of facts are current
everywhere, and men who were passen
gers shut their teeth aud speak of con-
duct which makes the blood cur lie in the eins. Is it true,—
That, utterly unprovided with food matches, axes, light, a compass, the three boats left the shore to make the passage
2. That owing to the crew being late, the boat was detained some hours.
3. That a start was made in the face of & north-east storm.
4. That the crew gave little or no as sistance in making a camp of the boats,or in breaking up the bout for supplying fire wood.
5. That five or six of the crew after the fire was made gathered round it and refused sutlering passengers to get near it
6. That expostulation and entreaty proving of no avail, three of the passengers walked round that camp out side throughout the livelong night.
7. That when the board ice was reached those of the crew who Were without frost® bite, by ‘reason of their selfish barbarity, leit the poor frostbitten passengers to make the best way they could over two miles of rough ice.
8. That neither discipline nor order was maintained or attempted after the boats lost their course.
9. That two of the passengers, towards the close of the second day out, on cousultation, determined to risk every- thing rather thao burn the second boat, as they were satisfied, from the conduct of some of the crew, that if but one boat was left, in event of an open stretch of water being found, the crews, being strong and untrozen, would take it and leave them to perish ou the ice.
There is but one course to take—and that at once: Have a thorough examina- tion before some parties competent to hear evidence. Let us see where we are. The ordinary dangers of such a passage we must face;—criminal neglect, in- subordination and brutality are what we have a right not to expect. Is it wise to leave this service in the hands of private competing individuals? Should it not be under direct governmeatal management ? A fearful warviog has awakened a lorg felt feeling of insecurity and danger—to what extent yet remains upkuown.
We ask for this investigation. Unless it is had the Capes route may be said to be practically closed. No man will risk his life, when there is a doubt on his miod as to the character of the men who uudertake to guide him on his perilous way. While this remains in doubt, no Government can remain inactive, and it is due to ali concerned ia the reports which are abroadthfat au investigation be held.

The Soeaker described the explosions at the Tower and Parliament buildings as wicked, unmanly and cowardly outrages—innocent women and children being the principal sufferers—and said he was sorry to perceive that the leaders of the national party had faile? to denounce the ghastly crimes.

Tur passengers and erew who have) been under skilful medical treatment at} Argyle Shore, were yesterday remov ed | aud placed in Charlottetown Hospital They were conveyed in comfortable box sleighs fitted with mattresses, covered with furs, and drawn by fast horses. Dr. Conroy was in charge. In the
where nourishing drinks were kept hot and served to the sufferers en route. The} precession of sleighs, as it passed through the streets towards the Hospital, was a melancholy spectacle. The streets were lined with spectators, and Dorchester Street was impassable while the patieuts were removed from the sleighs) To a representative of ‘THe Examiner Dr. Conroy gave a brief account ot the con dition of the men :—
In company with Dr. McLeod | ar- rived at the house of John McPhail,|
.rgyle Shore, shortly before miduight on Friday. The house was small, contain- ing two bedrooms, a sitting room, and a kitchen. On arrival, the men were lying in a confused state on the floor. We selected the worst cases and placed them in beds, and the others iu the most comfortable places obtainable. Nine iv this honse suffered from frozen limbs ; five others suffered from exposure aud required moderate treatment. After arranging the patients and granting them considerable relief we proceeded to the house of Malcolm McPhail, where we found Dr. McIntyre and Mr. Fraser comparatively comfortable, Then pro- ceeding to Mr. Alexander McPhail’s, we
ound Capt. Newton Mutiart. He and Mr. Alfred Glyddon,with frozen feet and in a dazed state, had wandered a mile and a half from the shore in the dark- ness and were taken in by _ the McPhail family. Muttart arrived first. The members of the family eaw him ‘standing at the fence immediately be- fore the house and helped him over it. Singular to say he passed three or four houses on the way but did not see them. “Tt was,” said Capt. Muttart, “the smell of the smoke attracted me towards the house, and the people finding me at the fence, took me iv.” When Muttart re- alized he was indoors, be informed them Glyddon was with him. They then went in search of him. Proceeding towards the shore, they heard a voice from a vacant barn which stood in the middle of the field, asking, “Who is there?” Goiug towards the barn they found Glyddon standing erect and kick- ing his heels against the wall. He was perfectly happy, apparently not realizing his condition. He had no mitts on for hours before, having lost them after leaving the boats. They helped him to the house. After attending to Muttart we returned to Angus Me- Phail’s, and since remaived at work day and night. We were assisted by Dr. S. R. Jenkins, Dr. Taylor, Dr. Robertson, aud Dr. McKay. Among those of the pas- sengers most severely frozen are James A. Morrison, Mr. Millett, Albert Glyddon aod Philip Farrell. Those of the crew most severely frozen are Capt. Newton Muttart, James A. Howatt, and Alex. Muttart. Those of the crew not frozen aud quite ill are Daniel McGlashen and Edward Trenholm. The latter is sufer- ing from inflammation of the lungs, and was yesterday too ill to be removed to the city, and was left in charge of Dr. Henderson at Argyle Shore. The pas- sengers not frozen are Dr. McIntyre and Aaron Wilson. Nevertheless they suffer much from bronchitis and exhaustion. The Campbells and Capt. Muncey Irving are all right. The boatmen who are not badly frozen could easily be distinguished by inflamed eyes and soles burned off the boots. They evidently held the fort around the fire. We gave the sufferers the best treatment possible, and remained in attend- ance on them until they were placed com- iortably in the Hospital. The names of the men now in the Charlottetown Hospital are ; Philip Farrell, Alfred Glyddon and My, Millett, passengers, and Newton Muttart, James Howatt, Alexander Muitart, G orge Alleu, D, MeGlashen and Juhu Allen, boar- men. Farreli’s toos and one foot are frozen; Giyddon’s hands and feet are frozen, and Millett’s fect and ears are frozen. Newton Muttart and Alex. Muttart have their feet frozen, and Alexander Muttart is to-day very sick of inflammation of the lungs. James Howatt’s face and feet are frozen, and George Allen, D. McGlashen and Jobn Allen have their toes frozen. It is impossible, before ten days, at least, from the time of the freezing, to form any correct idea of the extent of the injuries received by the men. Itis not at all hkely any of them will lose the fect in their entirety.
A representative of Tus EXxsMineR in- | interview the invalids at the Hospital to-day, byt on account of their suffering much from bronchitis and some from preumonia, it was considered adviecable to wait. Dr. Conroy informs us it is ad- visable to let the patieits for some days to come enjoy the utmost quiet, as speaking and excitement is most injurious to them. Curiosity seekers will please make a note of this,

though he may auffer the amputation of one oF iwo toes, he is thankful to Providence for escaping with so few in-' juries. He chatted cheerfully toa repre- | sentative of Tur EXAMINER who called to- | day, but owing to the severe cold could not | give a statement of the passage. Dr. Me- |

Too much praise cannot be accorded Mr. Brecken, Postmaster, and Mr. A. Lord, Aocnt of the Marine Department, for their energy in sending relief to the suffering men at Argyle Shore, as well as for providing the complete equipmen’s used for their conveyance to the city yesterday. Thanks is also due Mr. James, Superintendent of the Anglo- American Telegraph Company, and Mr. A. i. Morrison, operator, for furnishing the publie with the earliest information of the landing.
Mr. H. J. Cundall kindly furnished us with the following statement, showing the severity of the weather during the time the Capes couriers and passengers were In the Gulf :—
