Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The North West Passage, Vol. 1: Being the Record of a Voyage of Exploration of the Ship Gyöa 1903-1907 I tender my warmest and most heartselt thanks to the small party of brave men who followed me through the North West Passage and risked their lives to ensure the success of my undertaking. A loving thought will again and again travel back to the lonely grave looking out on the boundless ice-desert, and grateful memories will arise of him who laid down his young life on the field of action. I tender my best thanks to Mr. Axel Steen, meteorologist, to His Excellency Professor Dr. G. von Neumayer, to Professor Ad. Schmidt, and to Professor Johannes Edler for the valuable assistance they rendered me with reference to the difficult magnetic problem connected with the Expedition. The complicated financial accounts of the Expedition, as well as its voluminous correspondence, have been gratuitously attended to by Mr. Alex. Nansen, barrister, and my heartiest thanks are due to him for his valued services. In conclusion, I beg to express my sincerest thanks to the Committee, who, on the initiative of Consul Heiberg, and under his and Mr. Alex. Nansen´s direction, have collected the necessary funds for meeting the liabilities of the Expedition. I feel bound to add that Mr. Bernt Lie has very kindly revised my manuscript.
