Excerpt from Hunt's Yachting Magazine, 1857, Vol. 6 Navy. May such interchange of courtesy and good feeling long characterize the intercourse between the two countries to the exclusion of all thoughts of quarrel or hostility. In connexion with the history of the Resolute there are so many interesting and remarkable coincidences that one almost feels at a loss where to begin and where to end. In the first place the most prominent feature in her case is the Arctic Expedition in search of Sir John Franklin and his gallant companions. His long ice-bound absence from our shores has excited the sympathy of all nations, more particularly our Cousins, who have taken part in the various expeditions which have been sent out in search of the Erebus and Terror. Even our very yachtsmen have participated in exploring the Arctic regions, threading their way as in the Nancy Dawson, on the like humane but unsuccessful search.
