Tudor, Crouch and Galwey, were successively obliged to return to the ship.

Captain Tuckey, after struggling for some time against the increasing pressure of disease and exhaustion, as well as the accumulating difficulties of the expedition, saw the necessity of putting a stop to its further progress.

Mr.Smith at first expressed deep disappointment at this resolution, but soon became so ill that he could scarcely be conveyed to the vessel.

On reaching it, a sad scene awaited the survivors; Crouch, Tudor and Galwey, were no more; they had successively sunk under the weight of disease.

Mr.Smith soon shared their fate, and Captain Tuckey himself, on the 4th October, added one more to the number of deaths, without having suffered the usual attack of fever.
