Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Rescue of Greely The history of the rescue of Greely and the other survivors of his party would hardly be complete without some account of the original expedition to Lady Franklin Bay, and of the two voyages undertaken for its relief before it left Discovery Harbor. In giving this account, it has been the aim of the writers to describe the events simply as they occurred, and studiously to avoid all criticism of those who took part in them. The facts are to be found for the most part in the voluminous testimony taken before the Court of Inquiry, and in the reports and official correspondence annexed to the proceedings of the Court. The history of the Circumpolar Stations is chiefly derived from the Mittheilungen published from time to time by the International Polar Commission. The illustrations in the book are from photographs taken during the voyage of the Relief Expedition of 1884, the negatives having been further treated by Mr. M. P. Rice, of Washington, before impressions were made. The writers desire to express their obligations for the assistance given them by various officers of the Relief Squadron, in the preparation of the latter part of the work.
