FRANKLIN EXPEDITION
, MAJOR BURWASS'S DISCOVERIES PREPARING A REPORT. (British Gpcial Wireless.) Prtp• Association—By Telegraph—Copyright. RUGBY, September 15, , Major Burwass, the Canadian explorer and observer, who in the course of an aerial survey of the north magnetic pole and hitherto unexplored Arctic coastline, found traces of Sir John Franklin’s expedition, which disappeared S 3 years ago, sent back several relics, but he is retaining the documents he found to prepare a report on them for the Canadian Government. It is hoped that those may contain some of Sir John Franklin’s records regarding his search for the North-west Passage. ' . Sir John Franklin’s two vessels, the Erebus and the Terror, were abandoned in 1840, and no member of his party ever returned, all, it is assumed, dying from starvation or disease.
