Sailing northward the vessel was caught in the pack-ice, Sept. 5, 1879, off Herald Island, and, after drifting 600 miles to the northwest in a devious course, was crushed by the ice, June 13, 1881. Thus Lieutenant-Commander De Long and his crew were adrift in the Arctic Sea 150 miles from the New Siberian Islands and more than 300 miles from the nearest point of the mainland of Asia. With his party he started southward, and on July 28, 1881, arrived at Bennett Iearing their report, Melville with his party started immediately on a search for De Long and his companions, and on March 23, 1882, found their remains, together with the records of the expedition and De Long's diary written up to Oct. 30 previous. The United States government had the remains of De Long and his companions brought home and they were interred with appropriate honors on Feb. 22, 1884.
