Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Cruise in the U. S. Steam Frigate Mississippi: Wm; C. Nicholson, Captain, to China and Japan, From July, 1857, to February, 1860 On the nineteenth, two high red-ball mandarins came down from Peiho in a junk, to ascertain the cause of our visit to that quarter. They were very polite and civil, and seemed highly delighted when told that we came there as friends, and as Americans, and shook Captain Nicholson and all warmly by the hand. They were then introduced to Mr. Reed 'by Mr. Williams, with whom they had a long conversation, through the interpreter. Captain Nicholson had some hot ooeee furnished for them and their attend ants, about twenty in number. The weather being very cold, this kind act of our warm-hearted daptain pleased them very much. Mr. Reed assured them that our visit was one of friendship, peace, and commerce, and that we did not come there as enemies, but as American friends. Mr. Reed ih formed them that he had a dispatch to send to the emperor, and that our little junk. The Peiho, was about starting up to the forts to deliver it. The mandarins offered to furnish any provisions we might want free of cost. To this Mr. Reed objected, stating that we must pay for all that we received from them. They also thought that our letter would be received without any difficulty. They then gave Mr. Reed and the officers another shake of the hand, and, bowing very politely, left the ship.

Download or read book The Spectral Arctic written by Shane McCorristine and published by UCL Press. This book was released on 2018-05-01 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Visitors to the Arctic enter places that have been traditionally imagined as otherworldly. This strangeness fascinated audiences in nineteenth-century Britain when the idea of the heroic explorer voyaging through unmapped zones reached its zenith. The Spectral Arctic re-thinks our understanding of Arctic exploration by paying attention to the importance of dreams and ghosts in the quest for the Northwest Passage. The narratives of Arctic exploration that we are all familiar with today are just the tip of the iceberg: they disguise a great mass of mysterious and dimly lit stories beneath the surface. In contrast to oft-told tales of heroism and disaster, this book reveals the hidden stories of dreaming and haunted explorers, of frozen mummies, of rescue balloons, visits to Inuit shamans, and of the entranced female clairvoyants who travelled to the Arctic in search of John Franklin’s lost expedition. Through new readings of archival documents, exploration narratives, and fictional texts, these spectral stories reflect the complex ways that men and women actually thought about the far North in the past. This revisionist historical account allows us to make sense of current cultural and political concerns in the Canadian Arctic about the location of Franklin’s ships.
