Captain Collinson is to proceed to Cape Virgins, where he will find a steamer in waiting to tow him through the Straits of Magellan and t)^ Wellington Channel, and .so on to Valparaiso. From this port the two ships are to proceed to the Sandwich Islands, where tliev will receive dispatches from home, and meanwhile, if possible, effect a junction with the ITcrn'd and Plover, In case he should join company with these vessels, Captairi Coilitisois is directed to add Com- mander Moore and the Plover to his expedition, and make all dispatch so as to reach Behr.ng's Straits in July, and actually to strike the ice by tlie 1st of August. Once arrived at the ice, for thtee years Captain Collinson is left to himself, subject only to some general directions as to winter quarters. During 'his period he will be sedulously engaged in de- spatching parties of men in such directions as may seem the most likely to produce favourable results, in organising boat expeditions to search every part of the Arctic shores, if yet any trace of Frallklin and his companions may be found. Captain Collinson is, moreover, specially reminded that his operations are not to be directed to any object of a merely scientific character— the sole purpose for which he is sent being the discovery of Sir J.
