BANQUET TO THE POX EXPEDITION. 01 and success to tlie Fox.” (This toast was received with the warmest demonstrations of enthusiasm.) Captain Allen Young, on rising to respond, was welcomed with renewed bursts of applause. The gallant officer said:—Mr. Mayor and gentlemen, I really cannot find words to express my gratitude for the kind manner in which you have received the names of my officers and myself. Reference has been made to my past services in the Fox; but I can only say that there is not a man, who was in that ship, but feels that he has had his reward in the kind reception we have experienced from our countrymen and friends (great cheering). We have met with sympathy in all directions. But we have a higher reward in the consciousness of having rendered some service to Lady Franklin, in carrying out to the end the main object of her life by ascertaining the fate of her beloved husband, and having honour done to his memory by the nation (loud cheers). For myself, I feel that I have now an additional reward in having been selected to command this glorious expedition (applause). We are going on no Arctic voyage this time—not amongst the snow and ice of that inhospitable region. We are going to the coast of Greenland, where we shall find the colonists living with their wives and families, and the same with Labrador; and as to ice, we shall find no more than is to be encountered on the coast of Newfoundland (hear). Therefore, gentlemen, we are not about to embark on a dangerous voyage, but one in which we shall only have the common vicissi- tudes of the sea to experience. As to the success of the voyage, why of course I must wait till we come back before I can say anything about that. But I go in the full belief that the supposed difficulties which have been talked about will melt away one by one as they are encountered (loud cheers). When I consider the capabilities of the officers who are to accompany me—Mr. Davis, who is second in command, was three years with Sir James Ross (cheers)—Dr. Rae, whose name is known by every one (cheers); when I mention such names as these, I am sure you will be satis- fied that whatever may be done will be done effectually, and to the satisfaction of the country (loud cheers). I have no fear of the result. When I look at that banner, and see my name placed there in connection with that of McClintock, I feel that a great honour is done me (loud and prolonged cheering). Mr. George Francis Train, of Boston, U.S.A., proposed the next toast:—Mr. Chairman,—So grand, so noble, so ancient, so dignified, so prominent among the world’s assemblies, is the British House of Commons, a bolder man than myself might quail before agreeing to propose the toast that you have put into my hands. The House of Commons is always ready to benefit the nation and promote national works. The ocean is covered with a
